Predictive Medicine

Meaning

Predictive Medicine is a proactive, patient-centered clinical approach that utilizes genetic, molecular, and clinical data to estimate an individual’s future risk of developing specific diseases or responding to particular treatments. In hormonal health, this involves leveraging biomarkers, such as hormone metabolite ratios or genetic polymorphisms in hormone receptor genes, to anticipate endocrine dysfunction or tailor hormone replacement therapy before symptoms manifest. The goal is to shift the focus from disease treatment to health optimization and preemptive intervention.
