Speaker 1: Have you ever thought about how incredibly complex I spit is.
Speaker 1: It may only be water, but just aliva isn't simple?
Speaker 1: That remaining one percent holds incredibly meaningful information that could
Speaker 1: change everything. And I'm not just talking about your family
Speaker 1: treat Hi. I'm barretton Day Thurston and on this season
Speaker 1: of Spit and I Heart Radio podcast with twenty three
Speaker 1: and Me, we explore how DNA isn't just about ancestry,
Speaker 1: it can also be key to understanding your health. Yo, Yo,
Speaker 1: welcome back now. Adrian Mina knows a thing or two
Speaker 1: about staying healthy. She's a health and wellness coach, a
Speaker 1: fitness influencer, and host of the podcast Good Risings, Level
Speaker 1: Up Latte. Living a healthy lifestyle maybe Adrian's passion, but
Speaker 1: it's also her job. She's all up to speed on
Speaker 1: the latest advancements and cutting age practices that could lead
Speaker 1: to better health, and as a trainer, it's important that
Speaker 1: she not only understands these advancements, but also that she
Speaker 1: applies them to her own life. In this episode, Adrian
Speaker 1: shares her personal health journey after receiving her twenty three
Speaker 1: and Me test results last year. Upon learning that she
Speaker 1: was at higher risk for diabetes. Adrian took action right
Speaker 1: away and set out to make significant changes to her
Speaker 1: diet and workout routine. By sharing her story, Adrian hopes
Speaker 1: to inspire others to get a better understanding of their
Speaker 1: DNA and take action themselves. There's no time like right
Speaker 1: now to take more control of your health. So listening
Speaker 1: as Adrian shares her journey and how a better understanding
Speaker 1: of your DNA can empower you to make changes in
Speaker 1: your own life. Good Risings. I'm Adrian Nina and this
Speaker 1: is good rising level of Latte for those of you
Speaker 1: who are joining me for the first time. I'm a
Speaker 1: health and wellness coach and fitness influencer in Los Angeles.
Speaker 1: You can find me on Instagram at well Trained Body.
Speaker 1: In my line of work, a major aspect of being
Speaker 1: respected and also maintaining respect is to not only be
Speaker 1: aware of the advancements at the cutting edge of health
Speaker 1: and wellness, but also to apply them in my own
Speaker 1: life and in my relationship with my own body. That
Speaker 1: goes for everything from what and how we eat, to
Speaker 1: when and how we train, to how we recover, to
Speaker 1: the devices that help us do those things, and, most optimally,
Speaker 1: for any good trainer. It's never just about aesthetics. It's
Speaker 1: about well being. It's about lifelong mobility. It's about ensuring
Speaker 1: that we can live life to the fullest as long
Speaker 1: as we have the opportunity. It's my passion and it's
Speaker 1: also my job. Information is just the beginning to permeate
Speaker 1: mainstream media about the role our genetics play in our
Speaker 1: own health. Health is in our d n A, not
Speaker 1: only its role in certain elements and diseases, but how
Speaker 1: our bodies react to different foods and certain exercises. Our
Speaker 1: genes are the coding of our body. They are the
Speaker 1: foundation of our entire physiology, our cellular blueprint. Understanding our
Speaker 1: genes is part of understanding ourselves, and in some cases,
Speaker 1: it's the kind of information that can help us dodge
Speaker 1: the bullet of hereditary illness. For every obvious reason, I
Speaker 1: set out on a journey to get a better grasp
Speaker 1: on my own genetics. I teamed up with twenty three
Speaker 1: and Me and I want to spend this week talking
Speaker 1: about my journey, my understanding, and my perspective with you.
Speaker 1: Twenty three and Me is one of the most popular
Speaker 1: options when it comes to getting an insight look at
Speaker 1: our genes. The entire process was incredibly easy. I went
Speaker 1: to their website and ordered the at home kit. It
Speaker 1: usually takes about three to five days to arrive. I
Speaker 1: registered my kit to my personal account, which is safe insecure.
Speaker 1: Then I spit in the tube, which actually takes a
Speaker 1: little bit more effort than I would have guests, it's
Speaker 1: a whole lot of spit. Then when I was done,
Speaker 1: I sent it back using the prepaid return shipping label.
Speaker 1: Three weeks later, I received an email to let me
Speaker 1: know my reports were ready and my online account. I
Speaker 1: logged in and all the information was there and ready
Speaker 1: for me to delve into. Of course, there are incredible
Speaker 1: aspects of these tests outside of the context of health.
Speaker 1: I was eager to learn more about my ancestry, and
Speaker 1: the platform lays that out in really beautiful diagrams, even
Speaker 1: traces our lineage from one generation to the next, as
Speaker 1: we move across the continents, in some cases all the
Speaker 1: way back to our very first human ancestors. It's actually
Speaker 1: really beautiful to have a deeper understanding of who we are,
Speaker 1: where we come from, and all the people who existed
Speaker 1: before us, all of them in some way responsible for
Speaker 1: the fact that we exist. Then, of course we learn
Speaker 1: about how those people who came before us impacted us
Speaker 1: on a genetic level. What kind of things did they
Speaker 1: pass on that we should be aware of, and what
Speaker 1: kinds of things did they pass on that might just
Speaker 1: be enlightening. For example, I learned that I have an
Speaker 1: increased likelihood of developing type two diabetes. Interestingly enough, type
Speaker 1: two diabetes is the perfect example of a disease we
Speaker 1: can be genetically predisposed to, but also alter our own
Speaker 1: outcome through diet and exercise. I'm excited to share this
Speaker 1: journey with you to express how incredibly easy it is
Speaker 1: to take action and make changes to our lives with
Speaker 1: a better understanding of our DNA. And there is no
Speaker 1: time like the present to take more control of your health. Today,
Speaker 1: I'm going to be sharing more of what I've learned
Speaker 1: about myself from participating in this process. It's fun in
Speaker 1: a few different ways. Obviously, some things I was surprised
Speaker 1: to learn. Other things I always suspected and felt vindicated
Speaker 1: by my reports. I know my good rising to co
Speaker 1: host Brian from Grateful Grains talks a lot about how
Speaker 1: he always suspected mosquitoes preferred to bite him over literally
Speaker 1: anyone else He ended up covered in bites and everyone
Speaker 1: else would be clear. He swore he was a mosquito magnet,
Speaker 1: and it actually turned out that was a genetic trait
Speaker 1: of his. And by the way, this is something Brian
Speaker 1: and I have in common my whole life. I've had
Speaker 1: to pile on the organic deep free repellent for my
Speaker 1: adventurous outdoors. Anytime I step outside, I'm like a buffet
Speaker 1: for mosquitoes. I knew we weren't crazy. I also learned
Speaker 1: that I'm not likely to have a photo sneeze reflex.
Speaker 1: This was especially interesting because at the time I didn't
Speaker 1: even know what a photo sneeze reflex was. Apparently certain
Speaker 1: people tend to sneeze when they're exposed to sunlight, which
Speaker 1: sounds like a very special kind of hell. So thank
Speaker 1: goodness I dodged that bullet. Another interesting thing I learned
Speaker 1: is that I am more likely to experience motion sickness. Again,
Speaker 1: I've always wondered what I was doing wrong. Was I
Speaker 1: eating too quickly before getting into a car. Were I
Speaker 1: looking at the wrong spot on the road. Was it
Speaker 1: potentially something to do with sleep or a screen time
Speaker 1: or over exertion or is it the driver to blame.
Speaker 1: Turns out it's quite possible it's genetic. I'll say. One
Speaker 1: of the most surprising things I learned about is that
Speaker 1: I'm more likely to be able to match a musical pitch.
Speaker 1: I actually can't seem to save my life, but that
Speaker 1: might be a result of the instrument and not my
Speaker 1: sense of pitch. So it definitely made me consider whether
Speaker 1: I might be able to pick up a piano or guitar.
Speaker 1: Friends of mine also loved learning more about things like
Speaker 1: whether or not they're more likely to dislike cilantro or
Speaker 1: have a fear of heights, or what ear wax type
Speaker 1: they'll have, and even what their ice cream flavor preferences.
Speaker 1: It really is crazy to see how much of who
Speaker 1: we are is written in our genes. While all of
Speaker 1: these little bits of information about my health were really
Speaker 1: fun to learn about, I also learned several more serious
Speaker 1: things about my health. Scientists are still trying to understand
Speaker 1: how genetics play a role in our health. It's just
Speaker 1: one part of a person's health or a manifestation of traits.
Speaker 1: Everyone's environment is really important too. Like I mentioned, I
Speaker 1: have an increased likelihood to develop type two diabetes. Again,
Speaker 1: the wonderful thing about knowing that is that it fortifies
Speaker 1: ways I can double down on my health, to avoid
Speaker 1: refine carbs at its sugars and seed oils, and to
Speaker 1: keep my cardiovascular fitness in check. Not that that's never
Speaker 1: really been a question for me. I also have an
Speaker 1: increased flihood to weigh more than the average person, which
Speaker 1: of course exacerbates all kinds of different conditions and elements.
Speaker 1: It makes me wonder if my career choice was in
Speaker 1: any way a result of my own intuition. Knowing what
Speaker 1: I might potentially have in store if I went down
Speaker 1: the wrong road. I also learned about my chronic kidney disease,
Speaker 1: a p O L one related. Again, this is simply
Speaker 1: something to be aware of. Kidney health goes hand in
Speaker 1: hand with what we're putting into our bodies, what we're eating,
Speaker 1: what we're drinking, environmental toxins, and medication. My report helped
Speaker 1: me set a baseline for a more personalized bonus plan
Speaker 1: for myself. For example, the fact that I'm likely to
Speaker 1: consume more caffeine than most has led to my careful
Speaker 1: consideration of my daily intake. The fact that I'm likely
Speaker 1: intolerant to lactose has given me more watchful eye in
Speaker 1: relation to how I'm feeling after eating or drinking dairy.
Speaker 1: Like I said, genes are just one factor and outcome.
Speaker 1: Even if two people have the same genetic disposition, their
Speaker 1: health can still differ drastically if they have different lifestyles.
Speaker 1: Unequal access to medical care is another problem that exists
Speaker 1: all around the country, where some communities have far better
Speaker 1: resources than others. Those who live in disadvantaged areas are
Speaker 1: often at a higher risk for poor health. This is
Speaker 1: an issue that needs to be addressed so that everyone
Speaker 1: has a fair chance at living a healthy life. Today
Speaker 1: I'm jumping in on taking accountability for our health and wellness,
Speaker 1: and of course i am. This is my literal job.
Speaker 1: There are really innumerable excuses people find not to do
Speaker 1: the work, and it's not like they don't make sense.
Speaker 1: Oftentimes it's so easy to avoid digging in on the
Speaker 1: work that needs to be done because our excuses are
Speaker 1: so relevant. Right, we really do face in surmountable odds.
Speaker 1: Sometimes we're too busy, we have too many obligations. Work
Speaker 1: comes first, kids come first. Maybe it's that we just
Speaker 1: feel so far away from our goals. It's hard to
Speaker 1: imagine getting started in the first place. I've worked with
Speaker 1: hundreds of people from all kinds of walks of life,
Speaker 1: from first timers all the way to professional athletes. I
Speaker 1: can tell you the first step is learning to ignore
Speaker 1: those voices in our head and just making it happen
Speaker 1: every single day. We're flooded in the media with one
Speaker 1: size fits all solutions, and they don't work for every individual,
Speaker 1: but there's a baseline. We develop a plan and we
Speaker 1: stick to it. Like I mentioned earlier, our genetic profile
Speaker 1: can have a big impact on how our bodies respond
Speaker 1: to the application of different health and wellness endeavors, so
Speaker 1: understanding our genetics can be a big part of developing
Speaker 1: that plan. We use this information to better understand our
Speaker 1: bodies and what we can do to stay healthy. We've
Speaker 1: certainly all heard the adage knowledge is power, and in
Speaker 1: regards to our health and wellness, this couldn't be more
Speaker 1: true for me. Knowing more about my genetic profile allowed
Speaker 1: me to be much more focused in my wellness journey.
Speaker 1: Finding out about my increased likelihood to develop chronic kidney
Speaker 1: disease was the most alarming for me. With a bit
Speaker 1: of research, I learned that it's actually something that is
Speaker 1: quite common in adults in the US. While I was
Speaker 1: relieved that only one variant was detected, meaning that I'm
Speaker 1: not at an increased risk, it's still put that important
Speaker 1: level of awareness in me again. Knowing this makes me
Speaker 1: want to prioritize taking better care of my kidneys by
Speaker 1: being cautious of my food and beverage intake. It's not
Speaker 1: that I'm being reactive, It's that I'm now equipped with
Speaker 1: how I can be proactive of the same can be
Speaker 1: said for people with an increased likelihood for heart disease,
Speaker 1: siliacs disease, high cholesterol, and even Alzheimer's. And all of
Speaker 1: these cases, diet and exercise are known to play a
Speaker 1: direct role in outcome. If we can change our lifestyle
Speaker 1: early enough, with follow through with action, we could potentially
Speaker 1: avoid the ailments altogether. I want to expand a bit
Speaker 1: on something I mentioned earlier about access to health care
Speaker 1: and marginalized communities. Again, marginalized communities lack access to quality
Speaker 1: health care, and this often results in poorer health outcomes
Speaker 1: and a greater risk for certain diseases. So when we
Speaker 1: get the valuable time with a health care professional. It's
Speaker 1: important we are able to discuss health with our doctors
Speaker 1: more specifically. I'm sure it's pretty obvious how having genetic
Speaker 1: reports can help people in these communities take control of
Speaker 1: their health. They provide information about their for certain conditions.
Speaker 1: This knowledge gives people the ability to have more informed,
Speaker 1: personalized conversations with health care providers, which will ultimately benefit
Speaker 1: their health, wellness, and disease management overall. Additionally, knowing our
Speaker 1: genetics can help us to make informed decisions about things
Speaker 1: like family planning. For example, if we know we are
Speaker 1: at increased risk for a certain disease, how can that
Speaker 1: impact our children so that they can be treated early
Speaker 1: if necessary. Ultimately, genetics is a powerful tool in our
Speaker 1: arsenal that can help us better understand our bodies and
Speaker 1: make informed decisions about our health. As it relates to
Speaker 1: marginalized communities, genetic testing can empower people to take control
Speaker 1: of their health and well being just by knowing the
Speaker 1: right questions to ask. I know first hand it's better
Speaker 1: to walk into a doctor's office with a grasp on
Speaker 1: your needs and a little bit of extra knowledge about
Speaker 1: the state of your own health. Learning about my genetics
Speaker 1: was one way I took hold of that power. Getting
Speaker 1: a grasp on our code, the things that are literally
Speaker 1: written in our genetics, is the first step at taking
Speaker 1: control of our destiny. It's the first step in implementing
Speaker 1: a plan. It's the very first step in accepting accountability
Speaker 1: for our own health. I believe there's an incredible connection
Speaker 1: between our minds and our bodies, one that we've only
Speaker 1: just begun to comprehend. Intuition is one of those aspects
Speaker 1: of the human experience that the strictly science minded crowd
Speaker 1: tends to scoff at. In my case, I consider my
Speaker 1: career in the field of health, my journey and fitness,
Speaker 1: and I reflect on what I discovered when I looked
Speaker 1: at my jeans, the fact that I have in an
Speaker 1: increased likelihood for weight gain, type two diabetes, and kidney disease.
Speaker 1: I can't help but consider whether there was some subconscious
Speaker 1: mechanism in me that picked up on my inherited threats
Speaker 1: within This is strictly anecdotal, but consider the idea that
Speaker 1: our entire genetic code is built into nearly every cell
Speaker 1: of our bodies. It is possible that we one day
Speaker 1: discover our bodies are more in tune with what's happening
Speaker 1: within us than we are presently aware. Like every facet
Speaker 1: of science, these sorts of hypothetical thoughts and theories are
Speaker 1: what eventually lead to new discoveries. I'm obviously not a scientist.
Speaker 1: I don't know that answer, but what I will tell
Speaker 1: you is that for a very, very long time, I've
Speaker 1: been driven by something within to focus on health and
Speaker 1: well being. I've been driven to reach my utmost potential,
Speaker 1: and this lifestyle also happens to be the kryptonite to
Speaker 1: those lurking elements within. It's both validating and eye opening,
Speaker 1: as I know so many out there are disconnected from themselves,
Speaker 1: their intuition, their bodies, their knee eats, down to every
Speaker 1: aspect of their own well being. Health is in your DNA.
Speaker 1: I like to take some time today to consider the
Speaker 1: state of being. Oftentimes, when we exist in a state
Speaker 1: of being on autopilot, sort of subconsciously drifting through life,
Speaker 1: filling and reacting, it's difficult to engage with the present moment.
Speaker 1: It can be difficult to push pause and reflect. The
Speaker 1: state of existence is a survival mechanism. It's built into
Speaker 1: us as a result of hundreds of thousands of years
Speaker 1: of evolution. Of course, there are still places in the
Speaker 1: world today, even in America, where actual survival is something
Speaker 1: we have to be worried about. Safety is one of
Speaker 1: the key factors in our ability to grow physically, mentally,
Speaker 1: even spiritually. But let's assume for the purpose of today's
Speaker 1: conversation that we're generally safe. We're not imperil. Our minds
Speaker 1: often still perceived the world at large as a perilous play.
Speaker 1: It can lead to all kinds of psychological elements, from
Speaker 1: anxiety to chronic stress, to depression to burnout, and all
Speaker 1: of those things are directly related to our physical well being. Again,
Speaker 1: our minds and bodies are intrinsically connected. There's so much
Speaker 1: that can be said here, but in trying to stick
Speaker 1: with the topic of the day, I'd like to draw
Speaker 1: that thoughts back to how survival mode stops us from
Speaker 1: connecting with our bodies. It's ironic innocence because our subconscious
Speaker 1: desire to survive is actually stopping us from being healthy,
Speaker 1: from living a life of fullness and longevity and cultivating awareness.
Speaker 1: We can interpret those subconscious spirals the fair based thinking
Speaker 1: and inject the moment with things like present gratitude, present
Speaker 1: positive self talk, and in doing so, we literally reprogram
Speaker 1: the way our conscious minds react to our subconscious negative
Speaker 1: thought loops. The reason this is so important is that,
Speaker 1: in re engaging with presents, were more suited to be
Speaker 1: able to introspectively evaluate our own state of being, both
Speaker 1: physically and mentally. We're able to lovingly examine what aspects
Speaker 1: of our health needs attention. We're able to consider the
Speaker 1: idea that not engaging in a more healthier lifestyle could
Speaker 1: end up being more costly in the long run, not
Speaker 1: only costly as a result of doctors bills, but also
Speaker 1: in our ability to keep up with our loved ones
Speaker 1: and our ability to experience all the world has to
Speaker 1: offer with an active body, and in the end, to
Speaker 1: experience this life for as long and as well as
Speaker 1: we have the potential to. All kinds of things can
Speaker 1: disconnect us from our bodies physical abuse, sexual abuse, bullying,
Speaker 1: fear of every kind. Like hermit crabs, we retreat, We
Speaker 1: enter a state of survival to protect ourselves, and of course,
Speaker 1: people of marginalized communities are especially susceptible to these kinds
Speaker 1: of threats. The challenge now is to consider whether those
Speaker 1: threats have dissipated. If they haven't, the very first priority
Speaker 1: should be to find a way to create safety for
Speaker 1: yourself by whatever means available. And once we feel safe,
Speaker 1: the real work of reawakening our potential begins again. There
Speaker 1: are all kinds of things we can do to begin
Speaker 1: that journey of health and wellness. Me and my fellow
Speaker 1: host of Good Risings talk about it. Daily diet and
Speaker 1: daily exercise our paramount and our well being, as is mindfulness.
Speaker 1: But building those things upon a foundation of knowledge is
Speaker 1: like building our house on stone instead of sand. Instead
Speaker 1: of following along with fat diets that don't fit your
Speaker 1: body's needs, find out what your body actually needs. And
Speaker 1: by the way, I've encouraged members of my own family
Speaker 1: to do their own genetic screening. If any of you
Speaker 1: have family members of generations past like I do, you'll
Speaker 1: find out it takes some extra convincing. That said, every
Speaker 1: single family member that I've approached and spoken to about
Speaker 1: twenty three and me have been as motivated by what
Speaker 1: they learned as I was, and it's been the impetus
Speaker 1: for major major lifestyle changes to We're approaching the end
Speaker 1: of our conversation on genetics based health. We've delved into
Speaker 1: the empowering aspects of getting to know our ancestral roots
Speaker 1: in more detail. We explore inherit traits my conspiracy theory
Speaker 1: that mosquitoes do prefer to bite me and that I
Speaker 1: might very well just be a secret musical genius. We
Speaker 1: dope into my personal health specific results, my increased likelihood
Speaker 1: of type two diabetes, kidney disease, and weight gain, and
Speaker 1: how lifestyle changes impact those outcomes. We discussed the fact
Speaker 1: that marginalized communities are less likely to have access to
Speaker 1: good medical care, and that approaching conversations with doctors equipped
Speaker 1: with knowledge of oneself sets us up for success long term.
Speaker 1: We got a little more metaphysical with some thoughts on
Speaker 1: the mind body connection, and we're wrapping it up by
Speaker 1: honing in on more important aspects of the conversation, which
Speaker 1: is taking action. I think it's pretty clear how personal
Speaker 1: this experience has been for me. Like I said in
Speaker 1: the beginning, it's my job to find cutting edge aspects
Speaker 1: of the health and wellness industry, and I wouldn't be
Speaker 1: sharing this information with you or my own family if
Speaker 1: I didn't wholeheartedly believe in the power the genetic reports
Speaker 1: offer in motivating you to take back control of your health.
Speaker 1: Twenty three and Me is all about real science, real data,
Speaker 1: and genetic insights that can help make it easier for
Speaker 1: us to take action in our own journey of health.
Speaker 1: Over twelve million people have used the service. Seventy of
Speaker 1: those people reported making healthier choices after receiving their results.
Speaker 1: Of those people reported eating healthier diets, fifty one percent
Speaker 1: of those people reported setting healthier goals, and forty of
Speaker 1: those people reported increasing exercise. I think we all know
Speaker 1: firsthand how difficult it can be to get motivated or
Speaker 1: to motivate someone who's just not interested in health. Out
Speaker 1: of twelve million people, almost nine point four million reported
Speaker 1: making healthier choices after receiving their reports, but they seventy
Speaker 1: six percent to assess rate. I actually don't know if
Speaker 1: anything or anyone has been quite that successful at motivating
Speaker 1: people to take their health more seriously. But I think
Speaker 1: that's because it's tailored specifically to you. It's your d
Speaker 1: n A. Although it doesn't change the fundamentals of fitness
Speaker 1: and nutrition, having your genetics report is empowering to re
Speaker 1: prioritize certain aspects of a healthy routine like I did,
Speaker 1: so if you need a little extra nudge, this might
Speaker 1: be the way to get it done again. The tests
Speaker 1: can discern detailed ancestry interesting traits, genetic risks related to health,
Speaker 1: which includes a full gamin of elements and carrier status
Speaker 1: is not just the ones I mentioned personally, also pharmacogenetics,
Speaker 1: and you can also receive a wellness report which analyzes
Speaker 1: things like alcohol flush reaction, caffeine consumption, muscle composition, exercise, sleep,
Speaker 1: and much more. And like we've been discussing all week,
Speaker 1: this information is not only useful in making informed decisions
Speaker 1: about our health and wellness, but it can also be
Speaker 1: a lot of fun. It's a great conversation piece, something
Speaker 1: interesting to share within your family and alongside family members.
Speaker 1: You can even link your profiles to see which genes
Speaker 1: you inherited. I actually think it's the perfect gift idea too.
Speaker 1: To clarify, the carrier reports are for those of you
Speaker 1: out there thinking about starting a family. This report allows
Speaker 1: you to discover if you're a carrier for genetic variants
Speaker 1: linked to certain inherited health conditions. It's the kind of
Speaker 1: thing that can sometimes be passed onto children, especially if
Speaker 1: it's a trait that shared within a partner. That's a
Speaker 1: set of over forty reports, which include cystic fibrosis, sickle
Speaker 1: cell anemia, tay sex disease, and more. Like I mentioned earlier,
Speaker 1: one of the most helpful aspects of this entire experience
Speaker 1: was that I am now able to have more informed
Speaker 1: conversations with my healthcare providers. If any of you have
Speaker 1: ever felt like you were being talked at rather than
Speaker 1: talked with when speaking to a healthcare provider, learning more
Speaker 1: about your unique genetic makeup can allow you to change
Speaker 1: this feeling and take control back in these conversations. Furthermore,
Speaker 1: twenty three and ME customers can find a genetic counselor
Speaker 1: in their local area if they would like to speak
Speaker 1: with someone further about their reports. Now, I know that
Speaker 1: some people feel worried about sharing their DNA, but let
Speaker 1: me tell you, twenty three and ME really eliminated any
Speaker 1: potential concerns that I may have had. Because your data
Speaker 1: is encrypted, protected and totally under your control, you decide
Speaker 1: what you want to know and what you want to share.
Speaker 1: Wrapping it up today, I just want to say that
Speaker 1: I am so happy that I decided to embark on
Speaker 1: this journey and discovering my genetics over a year ago
Speaker 1: because our DNA truly is amazing and we all deserve
Speaker 1: to be able to access, understand, and benefit from the endless,
Speaker 1: interesting and diverse things our genetics can tell us. This
Speaker 1: is the cutting edge of health. It's a future we
Speaker 1: all have in store information everyone will one day have,
Speaker 1: and it will change how we interact with healthcare and
Speaker 1: empowering us to take control of our own personal wellness.
