DR. MOORE'S TOOL KIT
At WHEELHOUSE, we've created a holistic wellness model that draws from a variety of modalities and utilizes a premiere suite of diagnostics. Browse Dr. Moore's resource section below to explore in-depth articles, check our tech and familiarize yourself with our trusted lab partners.
GENETIC ASSESSMENT.
At WHEELHOUSE leading-edge diagnostics such as artificial intelligence (AI) and algorithmic assessments are used to provide our patients with a comprehensive understanding of their genetic traits and inherited health risks. Patients are provided a view into the complex interactions of their traits, how these traits have contributed to their current health complaints or how preventive strategies can be implemented to decrease the risk of disease development.
Understanding your unique health risks and the particular DNA-level responses your body is most likely to have to diet, stress, infection and lifestyle helps us at WHEELHOUSE be the smartest care team we can be when it comes to your unique needs.
NUTRITIONAL GENOMICS.
It's common knowledge that all human DNA is almost identical. If this is the case, what is it that makes us all appear to be so unique? The answer is epigenetics. Epigenetics is the study of environmental triggers that serve to switch genes on and off leading to unique variations in anything from taste preferences to the development of chronic diseases such as cancer or diabetes.
Diet is one of the more easily studied, and therefore better understood, environmental factors dictating epigenetic change. In fact it’s been shown that dietary influence is strong enough to rapidly alter gene expression, especially early in development. This makes food a powerful tool for healing and establishing your best chance at long-lasting health, or what our own Dr. Moore calls "your disease-free life trajectory."
ADVANCED MICROBIOME ASSESSMENT.
Your microbiome is the total community of microorganisms that live in your digestive tract. Research has found that over ten trillion bacteria reside in our gut, and like our fingerprints, the makeup of our microbiome is unique to each of us. Studies have also shown that up to 90% of all disease can be traced in some way back to imbalances in gut microbiota. Due to genetics, diet, stress and pharmaceuticals such as antibiotics, dangerous levels of harmful bacteria (known as pathogens) can build up and upset the proper balance of the ecosystem. This condition is known as dysbiosis.
Using an inexpensive test that genetically identifies your gut flora as well as a revolutionary software program, we are able to personalize a treatment strategy to rebalance gut flora and optimize health.
