Genetics, Health & Healing
Your genetics may influence your health, but they do not determine your worth. Understanding your body creates opportunities for informed care—not blame.
Phenylketonuria (PKU)
The body can't break down phenylalanine, a building block found in protein. Lifelong care from a metabolic team keeps levels in a safe range.
MCAD Deficiency (MCADD)
The body has trouble turning certain fats into energy. Going too long without food can become dangerous, so regular meals and an illness plan matter.
Sickle Cell Disease
Red blood cells can become stiff and curved, blocking blood flow and causing pain and other problems. Ongoing care from a hematology team helps.
Marfan Syndrome
A connective tissue condition that can affect the heart's main artery, eyes and skeleton. Regular heart monitoring is key.
Hereditary Hemochromatosis
The body absorbs too much iron from food. Over years, extra iron can build up in organs. Regular blood removal (phlebotomy) is the main treatment.
