Field of study

Dr. Comite is known for having an integrated approach to health care delivery using precision medicine.[5][6] She has done extensive research on hormonal changes and aging, and in particular, issues of Hypogonadism (Low T) in men and how it impacts the onset of certain associated diseases such as type 2 diabetes, heart disease.[7]

Her research involves studying delivery systems and how they impact health outcomes; it has been her focus as a Senior Clinical and Research Adviser to the Offices of Alternative Medicine (OAM) at NIH.[8]

Practice

In addition to her research, Comite's practice in New York City is based on a philosophical concept of the innate uniqueness of each human. Her method begins with the collecting of data on a patient to address the individual’s status via what Comite refers to as a precision health analysis.[9][10] Dr. Comite’s focus is on personalized treatment paths based on customized tracts incorporating unique aspects for each patient based on a myriad of variables such as lifestyle, metabolism, hormonal and genetic factors, in conjunction with evidence-based medicine to help patients best manage their aging process.[11] Comite also works on helping males deal with what she refers to as Male Menopause.[12][13]
