Tempus Genetic Testing at New Life Wellness
At New Life Wellness Clinic, we believe that personalized care starts at the molecular level. That’s why we offer Tempus Genetic Testing—a cutting-edge tool that uses your DNA to help guide more precise and effective treatment decisions, especially for mental health conditions.
What Is Tempus Genetic Testing?
Tempus Genetic Testing analyzes your genetic makeup to understand how your body may respond to various medications. It focuses on key genes that influence drug metabolism and treatment response. This allows our providers to personalize your treatment plan and avoid a trial-and-error approach, especially when selecting antidepressants, antipsychotics, or other psychiatric medications.
Why It Matters
Mental health is not one-size-fits-all, and neither is medication. If you’ve struggled to find the right treatment or experienced unwanted side effects, genetic testing can offer insight into:
- Which medications are more likely to be effective for you.
- What drugs you may be sensitive to.
- How your body metabolizes certain medications.
- Whether adjustments in dosing or alternative treatments are advisable.
What to Expect
The test is simple and non-invasive- a quick cheek swab. Once completed, Tempus provides a detailed report that our clinicians will review with you. From there, we tailor your wellness plan to better match your unique genetic profile.
Who Should Consider It?
- Patients with treatment-resistant depression or anxiety.
- Individuals who have experienced side effects from psychiatric medications.
- Anyone seeking a more personalized, data-driven approach to mental health care.
