GINA

Meaning

GINA, or the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act, is a federal law enacted to prevent health insurers and employers from discriminating against individuals based on their genetic information. While not directly a physiological term, it holds significant relevance in personalized hormonal wellness by protecting an individual’s right to pursue genetic testing or personalized biomarker analysis without penalty. This protection supports proactive health management strategies.
A mature woman embodies radiant endocrine health, supported by a younger individual, symbolizing a successful patient journey through personalized care. This reflects metabolic balance achieved via clinical wellness and preventative protocols, promoting cellular vitality and long-term well-being.
