For some people, getting healthy tops their list of New Year’s resolutions – but achieving it can present challenges. To attain optimal health and wellness, you need to understand your body, learn how it works, and explore your specific genetics.
Dr. Inga Zilberstein is a compassionate and experienced OB/GYN who provides personalized medicine that allows her to do just that, customizing treatment to the needs of each patient. Here’s how Dr. Zilberstein aims to help you feel your best in 2026.
Personalized medicine is also called precision medicine. It tailors an individual’s treatment and care to their genetic makeup, lifestyle, and environment. This method customizes health and wellness, in contrast to the traditional one-size-fits-all approach most doctors take.
The key to personalized medicine is genetic testing that provides insight into your risk for specific diseases as well as how your body may respond to certain treatments and medications. This results in a better overall understanding of your health and improved wellness.
If you're looking to transform your health in 2026, here are some inviting reasons to explore personalized medicine:
Knowing your genetic makeup helps Dr. Zilberstein assess your disease risks and identify medications that will work well for you. This offers a preventive advantage over one-size-fits-all traditional medicine.
Side effects occur when you try a treatment without knowing how your body will respond. Genetic testing helps pinpoint effective treatments, reducing the occurrence of side effects and improving your health.
The key to personalized medicine is its proactive approach, aiming to prevent disease progression rather than treating symptoms as they arise.
Precision medicine takes into account your genetics, lifestyle, and environment, resulting in more accurate diagnoses and care than a one-dimensional approach.
Testing available today can reveal key insights into your genes, helping to determine what treatments will work for you. The key component of personalized medicine is that it doesn’t lump you into a group of people like traditional medicine. For example, not everyone with menopause has the same symptoms, and not all treatments work for every woman.
Dr. Zilberstein offers personalized medicine through tests such as GI-MAP, DUTCH test, and Organic Acids Testing to provide you with a customized treatment plan and a better idea of how your body will respond to specific approaches.
You gain a deeper understanding of your overall health. The detailed information testing reveals leads to a more customized treatment plan that is more effective than trial-and-error approaches.
