Using Genetic Testing to Navigate Pediatric Protocols
Mike Clark MBA, JD, PhD
Nutrigenomics is the study and branch of genetic research of how foods affect our genes and how, in return, genetic variations affect the way we react to nutrients in foods. If a gene is mutated, it has information dysfunction until this information is corrected by the proper nourishment. Doctors have begun to turn to nutrigenomic testing to understand the source of a variety of health issues and diseases, ranging from obesity to ADHD.
As children develop their lifelong eating habits early on, it's crucial to help children make the right nutritional choices as foods are introduced. Kids' nutritional needs are reprioritized as they grow. Certain nutrients become more important as children develop, and nutritional needs change as they become teenagers. Even the gender of your child can play a role. If a child is not receiving their necessary nutrients, it is likely certain foods and supplements will be recommended to fill in the gaps.
With nutrigenomic testing, providers can look into children’s genetic makeup, see which biological processes need nutritional support to function at an optimal level, and recommend foods and supplements with the genetic results provided. Nutrigenomics allows pediatricians to understand the genetic source of health and dietary issues and create a personalized and informed treatment.
In this webinar get an in-depth presentation from Dr. Mike Clark on how to apply genetics to treatments and improve outcomes. Mike will be explaining what role Epigenetics and Nutrigenomics play in treatment of patients, how can we use genetic testing to improve treatment outcomes, and how can we design better treatment protocols by identifying specific genetic mutations in the GI Panel and the Pro 7 Panel offered by GX Sciences.

About the Speaker
Mike Clark, Ph.D., is the Partner Services Contractor and Provider for GX Sciences, a state of the art Genetic Nutrigenomics Testing Company located in Austin, TX. He is the Founder of Seeking Perfect Health and Co-Founder of the Natural Bio Health Clinics, where he created one of the first bioidentical hormone and functional medicine clinics and served as Director of Education & Research for 17 years. Mike was responsible for developing the hormone practice and subsequently the weight loss and gastrointestinal health practices.
Mike has a Doctorate Degree in Natural Health, has been designated a Health Practitioner Diplomate in the Clinical Science of Anti-Aging, and a Fellow and Advanced Fellow of Anti-Aging, Regenerative & Functional Medicine. He has achieved Diplomat Status in Anti-Aging and Functional Medicine, has been a member of the Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine for more than 16 years, and is an affiliate of the Amen Clinics.
Dr. Clark has been certified by the Amen Clinic as a Brain Health Coach. He has also received his Brain Fitness Certification and is currently providing brain testing and coaching to clinics and individuals. He was one of the early clinicians to be certified by World Link Medical in Advanced Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy. The course of training to develop this certification was designed to provide physicians and healthcare practitioners with the education, assessment, and credence needed to practice Hormone Replacement Therapy.
Mike's passion is Seeking Perfect Health for all. This of course is a journey, and the latest step in this journey is through Genetic Nutrigenomics Testing, for which Dr. Clark is a GX Sciences Trained Provider and a GX Sciences Certified Trainer. Nutrigenomics is the study and branch of genetic research of how foods affect our genes and how, in return, genetic variations affect the way we react to nutrients in foods. By identifying our genetic mutations and the foods that affect their functioning, we can now offer Genetic-Guided Personalized Precision Medicine.
A primary area of interest is clinical identification of Genetic Mutations (SNPs) that explain a myriad of health conditions, from poor sleep, low energy, infertility, increased risk of cancer, heart disease, weight loss, Alzheimer’s disease, ADD/ADHD, diabetes, and many other chronic diseases. Nutrigenomics is the science that helps us identify clinically relevant and scientifically proven natural treatments to nourish our mutated genes for optimal genetic expression.
