Gain confidence and clarity about your care

Comprehensive Medication Consulting

Why you might need this:

You’re taking several prescriptions and want to be sure they’re working safely together
You feel unsure about which supplements or over-the-counter products are actually safe to take
You’ve noticed side effects or new symptoms and wonder if a medication could be the cause
You’d like to understand what each medication is doing — and if all of them are still needed

How this helps you:

Assess all prescriptions, supplements, and OTC products for safety, effectiveness, and alignment with your health goals, including medication interactions
Identify interactions, duplications, or unnecessary prescriptions
Explore safer or more effective alternatives in collaboration with your physician
Offer strategies to reduce side effects and support nutrition, lifestyle, and overall well-being

Caren provides expert, patient-centered medication consulting dedicated to the safe, effective, and coordinated use of prescription, over-the-counter, and supplement therapies to support each patient’s unique health needs.

A Personalized, Science-Based Approach to Your Care

Pharmacogenomic Consulting

What is "Pharmacogenomics"?

How does this help me?

Understand how your genes affect the way your body processes medication
Identify which drugs are most likely to be effective — and which may cause side effects
Reduce the trial-and-error process when finding the right treatment
Have your results interpreted and explained clearly by a pharmacogenomics expert
Ensure your doctor receives actionable insight for better, more personalized care

(Please note: lab testing is an additional cost, separate from your consultation.)

With a simple DNA test ordered by your doctor, Caren uncovers how your unique genetics affect medications and translates the results into guidance for safer, more effective, and truly personalized treatment.
