"I sat at my desk and cried" - When Dr. Scoles helped a patient end 13 years of suffering using genetic testing ?? On this week's Precision Medicine Made Simple podcast, Dr. Lyndell Scoles with MDVIP shares a powerful story of a patient who suffered from ulcers for 13 years. Despite maximum doses of medication, nothing worked - until genetic testing revealed she needed 4x the standard dose. Within just 3 days, she was pain-free for the first time in over a decade. This isn't an isolated case. Dr. Scoles has transformed hundreds of lives through pharmacogenomic testing, yet most healthcare providers still don't use this tool. In this episode, we explore: - Why genetic testing for medications isn't standard practice yet - How a simple cheek swab can prevent trial-and-error prescribing - The surprising cost savings in personalized medicine - Real patient stories that will change how you think about healthcare ??

?? "If you are making decisions about dosing and exposing or not exposing patients to a medication and side effects, you want to have a very, very high degree of certainty." - Michelle Beckwith While whole genome sequencing gives us the big picture, sometimes we need specialized testing methods for perfect accuracy in medication decisions. William Stanford and Taylor Cu ?? recorded an incredible conversation with Michelle Beckwith on the Precision Medicine Made Simple podcast. From the Human Genome Project to pharmacogenetics, her insights are reshaping how we think about personalized medicine. Key topics covered: - Introduction & Overview of Genetic Testing - Different Types of Genetic Testing - Drug Metabolism & Clinical Applications - Population Genetics & Healthcare Disparities - Research Evolution & Global Progress - Regulatory Environment & Laboratory Testing - Implementation Challenges & Future of Pharmacogenetics Listen to the full episode below: Apple: https://lnkd.in/gPgs8A_v Spotify: https://lnkd.in/gmKkPhHN YouTube: https://lnkd.in/g4dipi8E #PrecisionMedicine #Healthcare #Genetics #PersonalizedMedicine #Innovation #BioTech #FutureOfMedicine

?? Empowering Alzheimer’s Prevention through Gene Sequencing ?? Imagine being equipped with a roadmap that reveals your risk of Alzheimer’s disease and helps you proactively change your path. Gene sequencing allows us to uncover genetic markers associated with Alzheimer’s, giving us a glimpse into our health future and empowering us to take steps now to potentially delay or even prevent the onset. Knowing your Alzheimer’s risk isn’t about accepting a predestined future—it’s about using that knowledge as a powerful tool. With personalized insights, we can adopt targeted lifestyle changes, dietary adjustments, and cognitive practices that have shown promise in reducing risk. Early knowledge can also guide critical conversations with healthcare providers, allowing you to build a tailored, preventive health plan. We’re entering an era where information about our genes isn’t just for researchers; it’s for every individual who wants to live a longer, healthier, and more informed life. Alzheimer’s prevention is one of the most impactful areas where precision medicine can make a difference. #AlzheimersPrevention #GeneSequencing #PrecisionMedicine #PersonalizedHealth #GenomicInsights #PreventiveCare #HealthyAging #AlzheimersAwareness #HealthInnovation #FutureOfMedicine

Much to the embarrassment of my kids, my very first Podcast on Precision Medicine Made Simple went live in late September. You can listen to it here: Apple: https://lnkd.in/gWzcgGbP Spotify: https://lnkd.in/gHaXmRMz YouTube: https://lnkd.in/gTspMaTP I joined my good friend and colleague Dr. William Stanford for the conversation which was wide ranging, covering fundamental changes in how new technology should be shifting primary care from reactionary to predictive medicine. We even make book recommendations!

?? Here's a surprising fact about our genome - just 1% of it contains 85% of known clinically significant mutations, while the other 99% contains the remaining 15%. With advancing technology and decreasing costs, whole genome sequencing is becoming increasingly accessible, offering the most comprehensive genetic information. ?? Excited to share the latest episode of the Precision Medicine Made Simple podcast! In this episode, we dive deep into understanding genetic testing methods with our expert guests William Stanford and Yelena Bykhovskaya. We explore the differences between genotyping and sequencing techniques, and discuss why whole genome sequencing is becoming the gold standard in precision medicine. Key highlights: - Understanding different genetic testing methods - How genotyping chips work - Comparing exome and whole genome sequencing - Cost-effectiveness of various testing approaches ??
