An open letter from GeneYouIn, a consumer genetic testing provider, to naturopathic doctors outlining the similarities between naturopathic medicine and genetics.

1. Dear
Naturopathic
Doctors,

2. We’re not so
different when it
comes to our core
beliefs…

3. There are several
ideologies that we
agree on:

4. Similarity #1

5. Naturopathic medicine aims to
heal the whole person through
individualized treatment.
There’s nothing more
individual than a
person’s DNA.

6. Using the knowledge of a
person’s DNA, a treatment
plan can be customized for
a specific patient.

7. Similarity #2

8. Naturopathic doctors believe
that treating the underlying
causes of disease takes
precedence over simply
treating symptoms.

9. Similarly, geneticists
believe in the
prevention of diseases.

10. Knowledge of one’s genetic risk
factors can be used in a
proactive manner to decrease
the likelihood of disease
development.

11. Genetic Testing and
Naturopathic medicine is
a natural fit.

12. There are numerous
benefits for naturopathic
doctors partnering with
integrated genetic
companies like
GeneYouIn, such as:

13. Benefit #1

14. Older technologies, like single
nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)-
based genetic profiling, are
being replaced by newer DNA
sequencing technologies.

15. Newer technologies have a
higher price tag, but provide
higher detailed and more
beneficial results for the
patient.

16. Benefit #2

17. Genetics helps to solve
current medical problems
and provide insights into a
patient’s future health risks.

18. Benefit #3

19. Genetic Testing will
allow your patients
access to disease
prevention.

20. We can embrace our
similarities in goals and
philosophies to work
together as a team.

21. To help patients achieve
their goal of optimal
health with the
accessibility of consumer
genetic testing.
