"When I found Dr. Schneider two years ago, my health was at a low point. Her knowledge and caring have helped me find a light at the end of the tunnel. Through testing, the right nutrition, and lifestyle/behavioral interventions, Dr. Schneider and her team at Empowered Health have helped me take charge of my health."

At its core, precision medicine is about identifying the unique characteristics of each patient and using this information to make more accurate diagnoses, predict treatment outcomes, and develop targeted therapies that are tailored to the individual.

Empowered Health uses these 8 categories to determine to gather precise and personalized information about each patient.

This is achieved through the use of advanced technologies such as genomic sequencing, molecular diagnostics, and big data analytics, which enable clinicians to gather and analyze vast amounts of information about a patient's health status, medical history, genetic profile, and other factors.
