BodyRenu expands programs to offer a new level of care rooted in functional medicine.
BOUNTIFUL, UT, February 2022 – BodyRenu, a local functional medicine clinic, has launched genetic testing with GeneSavvy as a part of their arsenal of services aimed at optimizing patient health through a functional medicine approach. The launch comes on the heels of a new partnership between BodyRenu and Essential Health out of North Carolina that began in early 2022.
GeneSavvy’s advanced genetic test sequences the entire human exome and mitochondrial genome to uncover thousands of unique genetic variants and provides actionable recommendations to give to patients based on their unique data.
“At GeneSavvy, our ultimate goal is to help practitioners identify patient-specific underlying mechanisms that have the highest potential to impact the path to optimal health and longevity.” Says Kris Fobes, co-founder, and CEO of GeneSavvy. “By offering GeneSavvy’s technology, BodyRenu providers will be able to utilize millions of genetic data points to help design the ultimate patient-centered, personalized, and effective treatment plans for their patients.”
Brian Rodgers, DO, ABAARM, IFMC has served as the provider and medical director for BodyRenu since 2010 and specializes in treating illness at its root cause, with particular specializations in hormone balance, thyroid health and cardiovascular health. His practice offers a unique set of programs aimed at discovering the underlying of illness to help patients regain health and avoid dependence on prescription medication.
“Genetic testing will be a huge asset for patients to start incorporating advanced solutions into their care plan,” says Rodgers, “With GeneSavvy’s level of detail and our training in interpretating data, our patients will have more insight into and agency over their health than ever before.”
A shared philosophy of personalized care ignited a partnership between BodyRenu and Essential Health, a group of functional medicine clinics based in North Carolina. Essential Health operates through a model called “Precision Health Care” which addresses disease through a blend of conventional, functional, and integrative medicine to promote optimal health and longevity.
Essential Health has guided the expansion of BodyRenu’s functional medicine programs including Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy, Weight Loss, Functional Nutrition Therapy, and Aesthetics, with Regenerative Medicine and IV Therapy launching in early 2022. BodyRenu also launched a subscription-based primary care program that includes 24/7 access to a provider, 30-60-minute appointments, no wait times, and access to state-of-the-art equipment and specialized testing.
“Essential Health shares our approach of giving time to patients to better understand their biology and lifestyle: something not many providers can feasibly do,” says Rodgers. “Genetic testing, along with our other expanded programs made possible through Essential Health’s guidance and support, will further support our commitment to delivering personalized care to each of our clients.”
BodyRenu offers a complimentary “Meet & Greet,” a 30-minute discussion with a member of their team to talk about health goals and recommendations for programs that may be most beneficial.
