Genomics†
Quick call • No obligation • Speak directly with our team
You've done everything right — eaten well, exercised, tried the supplements — and still something feels off. That disconnect often has a biological explanation, and your genetics may be a significant part of it. At Modern Human MD, genomic testing gives Dr. Tran a detailed blueprint of how your body actually works: how you metabolize hormones, process nutrients, respond to stress, and age at a cellular level. This isn't generic wellness advice. It's a roadmap written in your own biology.
Why People Choose Genomic Testing at Modern Human MD
Understand why standard approaches haven't worked — your genetics may explain it
Personalize hormone, nutrition, and longevity strategies to your unique biology
One-time test with insights that inform your care for years
Integrated into a full picture alongside labs, symptoms, and lifestyle — not interpreted in isolation
Who It May Help
- You've tried diets or supplements that work for others but not for you
- You have a family history of metabolic, hormonal, or cardiovascular concerns
- Your hormone levels look 'normal' but you still don't feel well
- You want to understand your long-term health risks before they become problems
- You're optimizing for longevity and want a precision-based starting point
- You've experienced unexpected responses to medications or hormonal therapies
- You want to move beyond guesswork and into a truly personalized care plan
What Genomic Testing Looks At
A genomic panel at Modern Human MD typically examines variants across key areas: hormone metabolism and detoxification pathways, nutrient absorption and utilization, cardiovascular and inflammatory risk markers, methylation and cellular repair, metabolic function, and stress response patterns. These insights don't predict your future — they describe your tendencies. With that information, Dr. Tran can guide you toward the interventions most likely to support your body the way it's actually built, rather than how the average patient responds.
How We Use Your Results
Genomic data is only meaningful when it's interpreted in context. Dr. Tran reviews your results alongside your advanced labs, health history, symptoms, and goals — building a care plan that reflects the full picture of who you are. Your genetics might inform how your hormones are balanced, which nutrients you may need in higher amounts, how your body handles stress and recovery, or which longevity strategies are most relevant for you. Nothing is prescribed in isolation. Everything connects.
Before Your First Visit
- ✓Think about what hasn't worked for you — diets, supplements, treatments — and why you felt they fell short
- ✓Note any patterns in your family health history you're curious or concerned about
- ✓Come with your real goals: longevity, energy, hormone balance, weight, or simply understanding your body better
- ✓Bring any previous genetic or lab results you already have — we'll build from there
Important
Genomic testing provides valuable insight into tendencies and biological patterns — it is not a diagnostic tool and does not predict outcomes with certainty. Results are one part of a broader, personalized evaluation. Dr. Tran will walk you through your findings in plain language and discuss what they do and don't mean for your care.
Frequently Asked Questions
1Is genomic testing a one-time thing?
Yes. Your DNA doesn't change, so a genomic panel only needs to be done once. The insights it provides can continue to inform and refine your care plan for years.
2How is this different from consumer DNA kits like 23andMe?
Consumer kits offer broad ancestry and trait data. The genomic panels used at Modern Human MD are clinically focused — examining specific variants relevant to hormone metabolism, nutrient processing, cardiovascular risk, and longevity — and are interpreted by Dr. Tran in the context of your full health picture.
3Will my genetic data be shared or stored anywhere?
Your privacy is a priority. Dr. Tran will walk you through exactly how your data is handled before any testing begins, so you can make an informed and comfortable decision.
4Can genomics explain why I respond differently to medications or hormones?
It can be a meaningful piece of that puzzle. Certain genetic variants affect how medications and hormones are metabolized — which can explain unexpected responses and help guide more personalized dosing or alternatives.
5Do I need a genomic test to become a patient?
No. Genomic testing is one tool within Modern Human MD's precision medicine approach — not a requirement. Dr. Tran will recommend it when it's likely to add meaningful value to your care.
6How does Modern Human MD handle payment for genomic testing?
Modern Human MD operates as a concierge practice. All costs associated with testing are reviewed with you in advance so there are no surprises.
Your biology is specific to you. Your care should be too.
Dr. Tran uses genomic insights alongside advanced labs and a full health evaluation to build a plan that reflects how your body actually works — not how the average patient responds.
