The myNutriGen test is a patient facing variation of the NutriGen diet and wellness platform, providing unique genetic insight and education while suggesting optimal diet and weight-management paths. The TrichoTest is a specialized innovative genetic test that supports licensed healthcare professionals to personalize alopecia (hair loss) treatments for their patients. Our Pharmacogenomic (PGx) test is FDA approved and evaluates variants that affect the body’s response to medications, which providers can use to determine which medications are appropriate for their patient. The TeloTest is an innovative, re-testable, genetic test that measures the length of telomeres in order to quantify the degree of cellular aging of the patient at the time of sampling, and is offered to providers at special pricing while it is also offered direct to consumer at retail pricing.
Introducing our Corporate Clinical Educator: Lauri Armstrong, M.S, CLT
Lauri Armstrong has recently joined the GX Sciences team as our Corporate Clinical Educator. Lauri works one-on-one with practitioners to interpret genetic reports and explain ways on how to best clinically implement the testing we offer. Her credentials and experience as a valued, certified GX Sciences provider are an excellent fit in bringing an extensive education platform to our practitioners. Here’s Lauri’s intro:
“I started in the health industry in 1983 at a health food store, and 1 year later added teaching high impact aerobics. That is when my interest started in health and nutrition. I received my bachelor’s degree in Dietetics from Texas Women’s University and spent over a decade helping people achieve their health and fitness goals. My focus of interest began to change to focus more on nutritional biochemistry, and then I learned of the newly emerging field of nutrigenomics, and I was fascinated! I had to learn more! After earning a Masters Degree in Human Nutrition and Functional Medicine, an opportunity to work in the field presented itself and I jumped in! Along the way, I was fortunate enough to attend a convention where I first heard Dr. Stewart lecture and again, I was fascinated with his knowledge and simplified way of presenting complex information. The opportunity to work with GX Sciences is a dream come true!”
