FAQs

Precision Medicine is a truly unique and advanced medical approach that focuses on each individual as a whole and unique person to provide the most personalized care.

We spend time getting to know you and your lifestyle. In addition, through genetic DNA sequencing and comprehensive laboratory tests genetic advantages, predispositions, and disadvantages are mapped out and incorporated into an individual health blueprint.

An individual health blueprint is one of the most important tools for anyone who wants to take control of their own health and reduce the risk of chronic disease before it’s too late.

We like to think of this as a “roadmap” that you can follow for the remainder of your life to optimize your health goals, quality of life, and longevity.

Biologics are the medical treatments that are derived from living organisms. In contrast with traditional non-biologic pharmaceutical drugs, which are synthetically made.

Some examples of biologics we use are: PRP (platelets rich plasma), hormones, stem cells, and exosomes. “Biological products often represent the cutting edge of biomedical research and, in time, may offer the most effective means to treat a variety of medical illnesses and conditions that presently have no other treatments available” ( www.FDA.gov).

All of the biologics we use are FDA compliant. FDA has not granted its approval yet to some of the treatments with biologics, such as stem cells and exosomes. Nevertheless, all the treatments we utilize are supported by rigorous research.

Absolutely! It’s never too late or too early to get started with precision medicine.

We treat a full spectrum of individuals including professional athletes, college students, healthcare providers, people who have underlying medical conditions without benefit from other treatment plans, and everyone in between.

We often find evidence of modifiable genetic risk factors that can potentially lead to chronic illness in very healthy individuals that can be targeted early on.

Additionally, we are able to look specifically at your personal recovery, muscle fiber type, and metabolism to create the most personalized nutrition and exercise plan to take your athletic performance to the next level.

Learning about ketamine therapy is often helpful prior to your medicine session. Many patients find that having a preparation session with a ketamine facilitator prior to their IV ketamine session supports them in setting expectations, creating intentions, and cultivating a sense of safety prior to having an experience with an altered state of consciousness.

In addition, the experience of ketamine therapy itself is often much different than those experienced in non altered states. For that reason, processing what came up in your session is often a helpful adjunct to any other therapy you may be involved in.

Integration sessions allow you time to sense and feel into what you experienced, and find meaning that may also inspire action. This work is done to specifically digest the psychedelic experience, and can bolster the work you are already doing either on your own or with the support of a therapist.

Elevated Medicine is dedicated to making Ketamine Therapy as impactful as we know it can be. For that reason, we support patients by offering IV sessions and collaborating with providers who facilitate preparation and integration support.

If you are interested in preparation and integration services, please let us know when you call to book and we will assist arranging them.
