My Pharmacogenetic Test Results
As someone who is highly sensitive, I often experience strong and sometimes unexpected reactions to medications. This sensitivity has made it challenging to find the right treatments without unpleasant side effects. To better understand how my body processes different drugs, I decided to undergo a pharmacogenetic test.
Pharmacogenetics looks at how your genes affect the way you respond to medications. It can reveal which enzymes in your body metabolize certain drugs faster or slower than average — and help guide more personalized, safer treatment options.
Below, you’ll find the detailed results of my pharmacogenetic profile. This overview helps me (and my healthcare providers) make more informed decisions when it comes to medications that suit my unique genetic makeup.
I hope sharing this will raise awareness about how valuable genetic testing can be, especially for people who are sensitive, experience many side effects, or feel like standard medications just don’t work for them.
