Scrubbing In with Becca 0:01:57.040 --> 0:02:04.240 Tilly and Tanya Wrath and I Heart Radio Punk. Hello everybody, 0:02:04.440 --> 0:02:13.320 we are scrubbing in scrub a dub dub um. How's 0:02:13.320 --> 0:02:16.720 it going so good? So? I have been cleaning out 0:02:16.720 --> 0:02:21.040 my apartment and I got rid of two trash bags 0:02:21.200 --> 0:02:24.000 of just like old spices that are expired and just 0:02:24.080 --> 0:02:27.440 kind of like all that kind of stuff, you know. Yeah. 0:02:27.800 --> 0:02:31.720 I found my journal that I used when I did 0:02:31.760 --> 0:02:36.160 the calling in the one, Yeah, which remind listeners that 0:02:36.360 --> 0:02:39.360 what year was that, So I believe I started it 0:02:39.480 --> 0:02:46.399 in uh and into nineteen, so this was I don't 0:02:46.400 --> 0:02:49.360 even know, a couple of years before the pandemic. And 0:02:49.480 --> 0:02:52.160 basically it's a it's a seven week program where every 0:02:52.200 --> 0:02:53.920 day you have homework and you do this thing, and 0:02:53.960 --> 0:02:55.400 you have like a journal that you write every You 0:02:55.440 --> 0:02:57.839 have like one journal that you do all your homework in, right, 0:02:58.320 --> 0:03:00.720 and a lot of the homework involves cutting and pasting 0:03:00.800 --> 0:03:03.799 and kind of making these like collages. So my journal 0:03:03.800 --> 0:03:07.440 has several different collages. But I was looking through and 0:03:07.480 --> 0:03:12.720 I found this one and it is so like specific 0:03:12.960 --> 0:03:16.000 and crazy because this is before I met Red Star 0:03:16.280 --> 0:03:21.600 and I literally like found him, like I brought him 0:03:21.600 --> 0:03:24.440 to me, like I called in the one. So for 0:03:24.480 --> 0:03:27.160 the listeners described for the listeners who can't hear or 0:03:27.240 --> 0:03:31.720 can't see, sorry, um, it's a it's a like a 0:03:31.760 --> 0:03:35.680 picture of a little a little kid and a man 0:03:36.360 --> 0:03:38.840 and they're like in a lake or something right in 0:03:38.880 --> 0:03:43.480 the background, and then there's the words Mr Sunshine across 0:03:43.760 --> 0:03:47.800 the lake and then there's a picture of Gabrielle Union 0:03:48.040 --> 0:03:53.280 and Dwayne Wade. So I love the relationship between Gabrielle 0:03:53.320 --> 0:03:55.120 Union and Dwyane Wade. I've always loved them. I think 0:03:55.120 --> 0:03:58.480 they're just like a really good team. Um, they are 0:03:59.080 --> 0:04:01.119 true partners and I feel like they treat each other 0:04:01.160 --> 0:04:03.960 like king and queen, right, So I love their relationship. 0:04:04.840 --> 0:04:08.720 What I didn't realize at the time Gabrielle union. And 0:04:08.840 --> 0:04:10.680 they have their own kids as well. But she is 0:04:10.720 --> 0:04:16.960 also a step mom. Wow. And Mr Sunshine describes my 0:04:17.040 --> 0:04:19.680 boyfriend to a t like he is just like this, 0:04:19.760 --> 0:04:25.800 like happy positive man. Mark's grimacing, but it's true. I'm 0:04:25.920 --> 0:04:31.120 kind of with Mark, Okay. So he is like a 0:04:31.200 --> 0:04:33.600 ball of sunshine. That guy is happy as a clam. 0:04:34.160 --> 0:04:37.240 I think you are. I think you are missed Sunshine, 0:04:37.279 --> 0:04:40.600 which would then would make Robbie Mr Suntime. I don't think. 0:04:40.760 --> 0:04:43.560 I don't think you've ever called him Mr Sunshine, but 0:04:43.600 --> 0:04:46.520 I think people refer to you as Sunshine all the time. Okay. 0:04:46.600 --> 0:04:51.640 And we have a dog together named Sunny Sunshine. That's 0:04:51.680 --> 0:04:55.359 more significant than any of the other things. So with Sunshine, 0:04:55.760 --> 0:04:58.440 this is the name is Sunny Sunshine. Her name is 0:04:59.279 --> 0:05:04.440 Her name is Sunny Sunshine, Radha. Since when was her 0:05:04.440 --> 0:05:11.039 middle name Sunshine? Talk? It is Sunshine? Okay. When you 0:05:11.160 --> 0:05:16.279 found imagining Tanya like going to her head house. She's 0:05:16.279 --> 0:05:18.800 going to bring this all together, and she's like, Sunny 0:05:18.839 --> 0:05:21.960 doesn't have a middle name. It's Sunshine. No, it is 0:05:22.000 --> 0:05:24.279 Sunshine because we wanted to name her Sunshine, but we 0:05:24.279 --> 0:05:28.040 thought Sunny was cuter. Prove this somewhere anywhere. We might 0:05:28.040 --> 0:05:31.279 need a text from Robbie. Robbie's kids who play with 0:05:31.320 --> 0:05:34.120 Sunny of the time at least know that her middle 0:05:34.200 --> 0:05:36.920 name is Sunny and her last name is rad. Wait. Wait, 0:05:36.960 --> 0:05:39.599 please wait, Tanya, please don't text him. Can I text 0:05:39.640 --> 0:05:42.760 him and ask what her middle name is? Yeah? Please 0:05:42.800 --> 0:05:45.359 don't promise. I'll leave it here and I'll put my 0:05:45.400 --> 0:05:52.200 hands up like this, Hi, what is Sunny's middle name? 0:05:54.200 --> 0:05:56.920 Or maybe you can say full name. No, that's good, 0:05:57.000 --> 0:06:00.080 I'm gonna say middle name because that feels like my me. 0:06:00.120 --> 0:06:05.880 I'm like doing something where I'm doing something with Phoebe. Okay, 0:06:06.279 --> 0:06:09.839 So anyways, I think it's really cool and I a 0:06:09.880 --> 0:06:11.840 lot of those things I think you put on there, 0:06:11.960 --> 0:06:15.440 and I think this is really cool about manifesting and 0:06:15.560 --> 0:06:17.800 vision boards and stuff. Is that you put it on there, 0:06:17.839 --> 0:06:21.520 not actually knowing exactly what it's gonna look like, but 0:06:21.680 --> 0:06:24.599 being able to look back and go like, oh my gosh, 0:06:24.640 --> 0:06:26.800 who would have known? And I haven't still touched that 0:06:26.920 --> 0:06:30.880 journal in years. I like literally found it because I've 0:06:30.920 --> 0:06:32.680 been kind of cleaning out and going through stuff in 0:06:32.680 --> 0:06:35.359 my kitchen. It was like in my sadly it was 0:06:35.360 --> 0:06:39.760 in my junk drawer, but um, I started flipping through 0:06:39.800 --> 0:06:42.640 it and so I was like, really kind of taken 0:06:42.680 --> 0:06:46.520 aback by that. Well, Um, I can't believe that was 0:06:46.560 --> 0:06:48.960 in two thousand eighteen, Like my mind is blown up. 0:06:48.960 --> 0:06:52.040 Feels like last year we were talking about calling him 0:06:52.040 --> 0:06:54.159 the Wind, but it's a seven week program and I 0:06:54.160 --> 0:06:56.640 didn't really I didn't do it every single day for 0:06:56.680 --> 0:06:58.000 the seven weeks. I think it took me a little 0:06:58.040 --> 0:07:02.919 bit longer. So one time him, you've really put in 0:07:02.960 --> 0:07:05.480 the work. You really couldn't. Amongst us, I will have 0:07:05.560 --> 0:07:08.200 to say that it is possible that when you do 0:07:08.279 --> 0:07:12.400 these vision boards, you are then free to retroactively justify 0:07:12.520 --> 0:07:15.400 everything that's on them, and you've done this in the past. 0:07:18.960 --> 0:07:21.120 Was on one and then like three years ago he 0:07:21.200 --> 0:07:23.000 was a guest on the show and you're like, holy crap, 0:07:23.040 --> 0:07:25.280 my vision board came true. I think that's a stretch 0:07:25.360 --> 0:07:30.440 because John Legend and my boyfriend went to the same college. Okay, again, 0:07:31.320 --> 0:07:35.120 if if you would, if you hadn't met somebody totally 0:07:35.160 --> 0:07:40.040 different than Robbie, you would find ways to make that book. Guy, 0:07:40.280 --> 0:07:44.320 That's not true. Mark, Listen, sometimes it is easy to 0:07:44.400 --> 0:07:46.840 do this. And then I had the vision board with 0:07:46.880 --> 0:07:49.720 this cabin that I literally ended up staying in. But 0:07:49.840 --> 0:07:53.800 that was more like a direct, Like that really was 0:07:54.600 --> 0:07:57.360 a direct. I'm gonna put my hands on just to 0:07:57.360 --> 0:07:59.320 show you, guys, one more photo. I'm not texting him, 0:07:59.360 --> 0:08:02.120 I swear I already got a respond to this, so 0:08:02.160 --> 0:08:05.000 funny hold on. And so there's also this picture that 0:08:05.040 --> 0:08:07.880 I put of this couple kissing on a bed and 0:08:07.920 --> 0:08:09.960 the words right above it say in the right love, 0:08:10.080 --> 0:08:12.840 we will discover new love for ourselves. And he's done 0:08:12.880 --> 0:08:16.720 that for me. Okay, but I think this is what 0:08:16.840 --> 0:08:19.720 Mark saying that anyone that was not so specific get 0:08:21.240 --> 0:08:24.680 thank you. But I I think that the key here 0:08:24.760 --> 0:08:30.240 is that you manifested a love that you cherished and 0:08:30.280 --> 0:08:32.319 who loved you, and it was what you were looking 0:08:32.360 --> 0:08:35.439 for and you found that. And I think that's the 0:08:35.480 --> 0:08:39.040 main focus of finding this journal is not so much 0:08:39.160 --> 0:08:44.440 the specifics, but more about you calling in the one. Guys, 0:08:44.520 --> 0:08:47.360 it was pretty exciting for me. Okay, but if you 0:08:47.400 --> 0:08:51.000 had met a different guy, totally different, who doesn't have kids, 0:08:51.160 --> 0:08:53.640 and like, look at this. Look he's right there with 0:08:53.679 --> 0:08:56.040 a little boy. He was with his nephew last weekend, 0:08:56.120 --> 0:08:58.440 and he's so great with kids. I totally see how 0:08:58.480 --> 0:09:01.040 this comes together. And Mr Sunshine on our first date, 0:09:01.240 --> 0:09:02.920 he had to get his sunglasses out of the glove 0:09:02.960 --> 0:09:05.440 comparment because the sun was in his eyes so brightly. 0:09:05.480 --> 0:09:08.480 I mean, you, guys, how perfect is this? Okay explained 0:09:08.480 --> 0:09:12.280 the Dwyanne Wade and Gabrielle Union connection. I still can't 0:09:12.320 --> 0:09:15.040 explain that with Robbie. Oh my gosh, you just don't 0:09:15.040 --> 0:09:17.720 get it. Mark, you just fell in fact that she 0:09:17.920 --> 0:09:20.400 is a step mom. You would have found a way 0:09:20.480 --> 0:09:22.560 you have said. Oh my god, you guys, he loves 0:09:22.640 --> 0:09:25.960 basketball and I put Dwayne Wade and Gabrielle Union on 0:09:26.000 --> 0:09:28.320 my vision bar I can't believe it. Guess what, I 0:09:28.360 --> 0:09:30.440 didn't even know he was an athlete. And by the way, 0:09:30.600 --> 0:09:34.400 Robbie does love basketball. There's another tie in there. It 0:09:34.559 --> 0:09:37.640 is what team did he play for? I'm not sure. 0:09:37.679 --> 0:09:42.280 I don't like basketball. Okay, wait, you guys, this mess, 0:09:42.480 --> 0:09:47.640 this thread is the funniest thing. So I just said, Hi, 0:09:47.800 --> 0:09:51.160 what is Sunny's middle name? And he says l L 0:09:51.280 --> 0:09:55.079 hi dot dot dot Not sure. She has many middle names, 0:09:55.120 --> 0:09:58.400 not sure if anything official. I think it's Randy Moss 0:09:58.400 --> 0:10:02.560 Sonny Randy Moss, yeah, rad, but it has changed several times. 0:10:02.600 --> 0:10:06.120 So I said, like the dead EMERGI and he goes. 0:10:06.200 --> 0:10:09.080 I just asked the kids. They also said Randy Moss, 0:10:09.440 --> 0:10:14.320 Randy Moss. There you go. That is not that is 0:10:14.360 --> 0:10:18.160 not that is not her official middle name. He said it. 0:10:18.840 --> 0:10:22.240 He said what is Tanya saying? And I said Sunshine 0:10:22.240 --> 0:10:24.560 and he goes, l O L. I mean that has 0:10:24.600 --> 0:10:31.240 been tossed around. No, Randy Moss, shiner. I'm calling her 0:10:31.240 --> 0:10:36.240 Sonny Randy Moss from now on, you guys. There's no 0:10:36.440 --> 0:10:39.199 official birth certificate for a dog, so there's not like 0:10:39.440 --> 0:10:44.800 Tanya Tanya. This is this is actually important. Randy Moss 0:10:45.160 --> 0:10:54.199 is an professional athlete, as is Dwayne Way. Bring it on, Becca, 0:10:54.640 --> 0:10:58.839 bring it on. I'm telling you, I'm I'm trying to 0:10:59.600 --> 0:11:02.400 bring out your bachelor journals and see what you manifested. 0:11:02.559 --> 0:11:06.040 I literally have life in general organized my place so 0:11:06.080 --> 0:11:08.079 well that I have no idea where it is, but 0:11:09.720 --> 0:11:11.959 I will locate it and find because I do want 0:11:12.000 --> 0:11:14.360 to read some of those excerpts because they're pretty funny. 0:11:14.360 --> 0:11:18.120 But um, yeah, we'll just stick with with yours today. 0:11:18.160 --> 0:11:20.800 But when you said that, I was immediately like, I 0:11:20.800 --> 0:11:22.200 need to find the journal, and then I was like, 0:11:22.640 --> 0:11:26.520 where would that be. It's in a nicely labeled ben somewhere. 0:11:26.679 --> 0:11:29.400 I do know that. I'm just so happy I didn't 0:11:29.400 --> 0:11:31.440 throw in my journal. My gosh, I mean, that is 0:11:31.480 --> 0:11:34.400 some gold right there. I would never think you'd throw 0:11:34.440 --> 0:11:37.560 away your journal. Like that feels so off Brandford. I 0:11:37.640 --> 0:11:39.880 gave my book, My Calling in the One Book to 0:11:40.200 --> 0:11:43.880 somebody else, Well, that makes sense, like you're passing it on, 0:11:44.040 --> 0:11:47.800 but like a journal feels like so I imagine your 0:11:48.240 --> 0:11:52.959 your you know, excerpts are very um in depth and 0:11:53.280 --> 0:11:57.160 something that you want to keep for your wedding one day. Honestly, 0:11:57.160 --> 0:12:01.080 they're kind of embarrassing. No, I I'm so shocked at 0:12:01.080 --> 0:12:04.840 the way I wrote as a twenty six year old, Like, 0:12:04.920 --> 0:12:07.360 that's what talked to me the most. Reading the Bachelor Journal, 0:12:07.400 --> 0:12:11.959 I was like, wait, sounded like a high school or two. 0:12:12.120 --> 0:12:15.920 That's how mine sound, like, I'm like I hope that 0:12:16.040 --> 0:12:22.680 and like my fear is that, like yeah, yeah, I'm 0:12:22.720 --> 0:12:26.320 with you there. Um. Today we're actually going to be 0:12:26.360 --> 0:12:29.760 talking about twenty three and me and it's kind of 0:12:29.920 --> 0:12:32.520 like just switching gear as a tad, you know, like 0:12:32.600 --> 0:12:37.880 from manifestation to like actual DNA yes, um, And we're 0:12:37.960 --> 0:12:43.120 going to be talking about like kind of how important 0:12:43.120 --> 0:12:46.880 it is to know your background for you know, multiple reasons. 0:12:46.880 --> 0:12:49.240 But Tanya sent hers in, you haven't gotten your results 0:12:49.320 --> 0:12:51.480 right now. I haven't. But we're going to kind of 0:12:51.480 --> 0:12:53.400 talk through like what are you're like, what are you 0:12:53.480 --> 0:12:56.920 hoping for from the results and what are you looking for? 0:12:56.960 --> 0:13:00.440 Are you nervous about anything? You expecting anything? Are you 0:13:00.480 --> 0:13:04.000 nervous about anything? I don't know. Doesn't it tell you 0:13:04.040 --> 0:13:08.600 like health stuff? It's yeah's health stuff. And I'm like 0:13:08.720 --> 0:13:11.600 pretty sure that I'm a hundred percent serbian because it's 0:13:11.640 --> 0:13:15.120 like both my parents and their parents are and their 0:13:15.160 --> 0:13:17.439 parents are, so I feel like I'm hand to handle 0:13:17.480 --> 0:13:20.880 p What if you were what what would you be 0:13:20.920 --> 0:13:23.920 if you were? I don't know, but then I would 0:13:24.600 --> 0:13:29.679 look at my grandparents differently. What if you had something 0:13:29.760 --> 0:13:35.440 totally different? Would that totally shake you up? It would 0:13:35.440 --> 0:13:39.960 be kind of interesting. Well, that's such everything. I've heard 0:13:39.960 --> 0:13:42.800 so many crazy stories about it, of like people thinking 0:13:42.960 --> 0:13:45.280 one thing their whole life and then just innocently doing 0:13:45.320 --> 0:13:48.200 this test and getting the results and being like, but 0:13:48.200 --> 0:13:49.960 there's a lot of health befits to like you can 0:13:50.040 --> 0:13:57.480 kind of see if you're predisposed, predisposed, pre preconditioned thinn 0:13:57.800 --> 0:14:03.440 don't second pre disposed to certain like illnesses and ailments 0:14:03.559 --> 0:14:05.360 and diabetes and things like that. So there's a lot 0:14:05.400 --> 0:14:08.600 of also health benefits as well. Mark, you did it right, 0:14:08.760 --> 0:14:11.360 I did it. I'm looking at my ancestry results right now. 0:14:11.400 --> 0:14:16.240 I'm nine point seven percent European, mostly Northwestern European, about 0:14:16.240 --> 0:14:22.800 a quarter of Ashca Nazi Jewish. I'm primarily from Norway, Sweden, Germany, England, Ireland, 0:14:22.840 --> 0:14:25.800 which none of that is terribly surprising, but it's still 0:14:25.800 --> 0:14:27.720 fun to look at, fun to check out, and then yes, 0:14:27.760 --> 0:14:30.360 you do the health stuff on here, nothing alarming, that 0:14:30.480 --> 0:14:33.040 was nice. It's really fun to dig into. Plus they 0:14:33.040 --> 0:14:35.080 have all kinds of like i don't know what you 0:14:35.160 --> 0:14:38.360 call them, like cute little quirks about you, like you know, um, 0:14:38.400 --> 0:14:43.240 you are more disposed to like um butterflies, but no, 0:14:43.360 --> 0:14:46.600 more like foods more like sto as opposed to sweet foods, 0:14:46.680 --> 0:14:49.600 or like asparagus really makes your piece smell like stuff 0:14:49.640 --> 0:14:51.280 like that, I'm not I'm not kidding. That was actually 0:14:51.280 --> 0:14:53.760 in the But doesn't asparagus make everybody's piece smell? Can 0:14:53.800 --> 0:14:59.160 they tell us how? I've never I've never had that 0:14:59.400 --> 0:15:02.040 with asparagus, Like I'm never like, oh my god, like 0:15:02.120 --> 0:15:05.560 people described, I've never experienced that. I'd like to smell 0:15:05.640 --> 0:15:09.120 you your p after you have asparagus. Okay, we'll set 0:15:09.160 --> 0:15:12.720 that up. Okay, we'll have to do that on another day. 0:15:13.000 --> 0:15:18.720 As Asparagus order detection likely can smell the asparagus order 0:15:18.760 --> 0:15:21.520 in your urine, and I can't. They nailed that one. 0:15:22.680 --> 0:15:25.280 Kind of vague no, kind of but they say they 0:15:25.360 --> 0:15:27.680 say you're more likely or not as likely, like, for example, 0:15:27.760 --> 0:15:30.880 in caase bitterness, you're likely to have a cleft chin. 0:15:31.000 --> 0:15:33.600 I do, You're likely to have to tach your lobes. 0:15:33.680 --> 0:15:36.360 I do? You know that sort of thing? Wow? All right, 0:15:37.560 --> 0:15:41.680 so yeah, we're gonna get back into this with reps 0:15:41.760 --> 0:15:43.600 from twenty three and me, so we'll be right back 0:15:43.600 --> 0:16:00.240 with them. All right, you guys, so we're bad. Can 0:16:00.280 --> 0:16:02.520 we have a Lisa and Stacy here from twenty three 0:16:02.520 --> 0:16:04.800 and me, and they're here to answer all of our 0:16:04.880 --> 0:16:08.680 questions that we have about the twenty three in the process, 0:16:08.800 --> 0:16:12.280 so please welcome them in to the scrubbing in oh R. 0:16:16.600 --> 0:16:19.040 So I want you to kind of talk about you know, 0:16:19.080 --> 0:16:21.440 when you when people here twenty three and me, they 0:16:21.480 --> 0:16:24.520 think that it's like just ancestry they're going to see 0:16:24.520 --> 0:16:26.800 like where they came from. But there's so much more 0:16:26.960 --> 0:16:31.400 to it than that, right, Yes, I'll take this on UM. 0:16:31.880 --> 0:16:35.880 So there is a whole world of health information within 0:16:35.920 --> 0:16:38.640 twenty three and me that is super exciting. I'm a 0:16:38.680 --> 0:16:42.080 genetic counselor, so my background is all about genetics and 0:16:42.120 --> 0:16:45.880 thinking through health UM. Overall our Healthless Ancestry service, there's 0:16:45.960 --> 0:16:49.800 over sixty five health report and they touch upon you know, 0:16:50.000 --> 0:16:54.119 your potential chances to have a genetic um increased likelihood 0:16:54.200 --> 0:16:57.720 for a different conditions. They also write information about genetic 0:16:57.800 --> 0:16:59.840 variants you might pass on to your children and just 0:17:00.000 --> 0:17:04.120 neural wellness, exercise, weight, diet, all sorts of things UM. 0:17:04.160 --> 0:17:06.640 And then there's even the Way Through Plus membership that 0:17:06.720 --> 0:17:10.840 adds another twenty plus reports and ongoing features throughout the year, 0:17:10.920 --> 0:17:14.320 So a lot of health information. I have a question 0:17:14.400 --> 0:17:18.000 about it, like, when you get information about health, is 0:17:18.040 --> 0:17:21.720 it kind of is it specific like percentages or what 0:17:21.760 --> 0:17:23.600 does that look like for people when they get it? 0:17:23.680 --> 0:17:25.919 Is it just like this is something you're likely to 0:17:26.040 --> 0:17:31.720 maybe uh experience, or how does it work? So it 0:17:31.960 --> 0:17:36.199 can vary. So there's two different ways of thinking about 0:17:36.680 --> 0:17:39.920 genetics and your health. So one is you may have 0:17:39.960 --> 0:17:42.760 like one or two genetic variants, and those are just 0:17:42.800 --> 0:17:45.520 like the DNA differences between people, we just call those 0:17:45.520 --> 0:17:48.320 genetic variants. Um, you may have one or two that 0:17:48.359 --> 0:17:52.399 like really might impact a certain condition. Um, where you 0:17:52.920 --> 0:17:55.479 if you have that variant, your your chances of developing 0:17:55.480 --> 0:17:57.600 that condition, you know, maybe like three times or four 0:17:57.600 --> 0:18:01.080 times higher than the average person. And so in those conditions, 0:18:01.119 --> 0:18:03.720 we might tell you you have this genetic variant. Here 0:18:03.840 --> 0:18:07.120 is how it it potentially impacts your health. How many 0:18:07.119 --> 0:18:10.680 people with that variant go on to develop that condition? Um. 0:18:10.720 --> 0:18:14.080 There's a whole another side of this, which is conditions 0:18:14.119 --> 0:18:16.760 that you might be more familiar with, like type two diabetes, 0:18:17.160 --> 0:18:21.000 migrating things like that, where there's not just one smoking gun, 0:18:21.000 --> 0:18:22.960 there's not just one or two genetic variants, but it 0:18:23.080 --> 0:18:26.320 might be thousands or tens of thousands of genetic variants 0:18:26.359 --> 0:18:28.600 that all have this like tiny little effect. And what 0:18:28.640 --> 0:18:31.359 we do then is we add all that up to 0:18:31.400 --> 0:18:34.200 sort of give you this overall predisposition where we tell 0:18:34.240 --> 0:18:37.280 you might be at increased likelihood and in those cases 0:18:37.280 --> 0:18:39.120 then we can give you like a percent chance, right, 0:18:39.160 --> 0:18:41.359 how many people like you? What percentage of people like 0:18:41.440 --> 0:18:44.920 you actually have that condition? And so you can kind 0:18:44.920 --> 0:18:49.720 of get that like, um exact number on it for yourself. Yeah, 0:18:49.760 --> 0:18:51.680 that's really helpful. Have you all had I mean, I'm 0:18:51.720 --> 0:18:55.000 sure there's so many stories of people who maybe never 0:18:55.080 --> 0:18:59.439 even considered something specific about their health being a chance 0:18:59.800 --> 0:19:02.520 for them, and then they do this test and get 0:19:02.560 --> 0:19:05.040 it back and get the results, and maybe they go 0:19:05.080 --> 0:19:06.919 in for a check up and catch something that they 0:19:06.920 --> 0:19:11.360 wouldn't have caught sooner had they not seen that possibility. 0:19:11.400 --> 0:19:13.080 I don't know if I'm worrying this right, but have 0:19:13.160 --> 0:19:15.240 you all had any stories like that or seen anything 0:19:15.240 --> 0:19:18.920 where people like it literally could save a life if 0:19:18.960 --> 0:19:23.119 they caught something early. We do. We actually get a 0:19:23.160 --> 0:19:25.960 lot of customers writing in and we have a whole 0:19:26.000 --> 0:19:29.120 team that works on these amazing customers stories to get 0:19:29.119 --> 0:19:32.000 them out there. And you know, the ones that I 0:19:32.040 --> 0:19:34.920 think come most of mind that come up a lot 0:19:35.080 --> 0:19:38.639 are associated with brc UM. So this is if you 0:19:38.640 --> 0:19:41.679 have a variant, it greatly increases your chance for breast 0:19:41.800 --> 0:19:44.320 and a varian cancer and women there's also other certain 0:19:44.359 --> 0:19:47.800 cancers as well, and it cannot big effect for meals too. UM. 0:19:47.840 --> 0:19:50.119 And this is something that a lot of people have 0:19:50.160 --> 0:19:52.679 no idea they have these variants. We only test for 0:19:52.680 --> 0:19:55.840 a selectree and we're not diagnosing cancer right there. Stuffining 0:19:55.920 --> 0:19:59.920 limitations testing right, UM. But if you have this very 0:20:00.040 --> 0:20:02.639 and UM, it's really important to get it confirmed right 0:20:02.680 --> 0:20:05.760 You need to get confirmatory testing. But it is such 0:20:05.840 --> 0:20:08.719 that you there's a lot of different actions that you 0:20:08.800 --> 0:20:11.480 can take. The greatly reduced your risk for cancer because 0:20:11.480 --> 0:20:14.359 we're talking about very high numbers here, UM. And the 0:20:14.440 --> 0:20:16.919 very tests for a really common people that have Oscepanazi 0:20:17.000 --> 0:20:20.000 Jewish ancestry to one in forty. So so many people 0:20:20.119 --> 0:20:23.680 don't know that. And ultimately we have these amazing stories 0:20:23.680 --> 0:20:26.840 of women who have found out um, some were adopted 0:20:26.840 --> 0:20:30.080 and had no idea they had Osponazey Jewish ancestry. UM. 0:20:30.200 --> 0:20:33.359 Somewhere conceived via sperm donor and had no idea, right, 0:20:33.440 --> 0:20:36.040 or some knew that had Ashtonaze Jewish ancestry, but had 0:20:36.040 --> 0:20:38.920 no idea that there were these you know, increased likelihood 0:20:38.920 --> 0:20:41.000 that they could have these variants. Um. And so just 0:20:41.080 --> 0:20:44.760 incredible stories of the actions people are able to take 0:20:44.920 --> 0:20:48.399 and this empowerment. Um. So we've seen it from you know, 0:20:48.560 --> 0:20:50.480 the v r A type two diabetes. We get a 0:20:50.480 --> 0:20:53.399 lot of stories that people saying, this makes me realize 0:20:53.400 --> 0:20:55.840 I need to take action. Right, there's some things that 0:20:55.960 --> 0:20:59.680 I can do just living that healthy lifestyle that can 0:20:59.760 --> 0:21:03.320 really have a big impact on reducing your chances. So 0:21:03.400 --> 0:21:05.280 we get a lot of these stories. Um. It's one 0:21:05.280 --> 0:21:06.760 of my favorite parts of what I do because I 0:21:06.760 --> 0:21:09.600 get to hear these stories and so you really get 0:21:09.640 --> 0:21:12.520 that feeling of Okay, it's there's there's a reason of 0:21:12.560 --> 0:21:15.000 what we're doing behind this, Right, we're actually impacting people 0:21:15.160 --> 0:21:18.480 live And I know the test is is I did it? 0:21:18.560 --> 0:21:20.720 So it's easy, Like you get the test and you 0:21:21.320 --> 0:21:23.919 fill up a tube to like a certain line with 0:21:24.000 --> 0:21:26.119 like your spits you just like spit in it or whatever, 0:21:26.520 --> 0:21:28.920 but is there like it Let's just say you didn't 0:21:28.920 --> 0:21:31.200 spit to the line or if there is like would 0:21:31.240 --> 0:21:33.520 you send it back to somebody else, like to somebody 0:21:33.520 --> 0:21:35.320 and say like do it again or like does that 0:21:35.320 --> 0:21:39.520 ever happen? Yeah, So we have some quality control measures. 0:21:39.520 --> 0:21:41.399 So when you send that too off to the lab, 0:21:41.680 --> 0:21:43.480 they're going to check to make sure that we can 0:21:43.840 --> 0:21:47.359 you know, get enough DNA so you know your your spit. Basically, 0:21:47.440 --> 0:21:49.359 what we're looking at is like the cheek cells that 0:21:49.440 --> 0:21:51.399 sort of come along for the ride in your spit. 0:21:51.680 --> 0:21:53.679 So sometimes there's not enough cells in there, so we 0:21:53.680 --> 0:21:55.520 can't get enough DNA out, so the lab will do 0:21:55.600 --> 0:21:57.680 those like sort of quality controls, or there's not enough 0:21:57.720 --> 0:22:00.800 spit or you know that it doesn't run really and 0:22:00.840 --> 0:22:02.880 so if any of that happens, that sort of gets 0:22:03.240 --> 0:22:06.159 kicked back and generally, well said a replacement kit so 0:22:06.200 --> 0:22:08.720 you can give it a second try, um, you know, 0:22:08.760 --> 0:22:11.280 to to to get that full experience. We do whatever 0:22:11.320 --> 0:22:13.119 we can. I was happy that it was I was 0:22:13.160 --> 0:22:15.080 happy that it was spit because I don't know why 0:22:15.119 --> 0:22:18.320 I thought DNA testing was like blood or like, you know, 0:22:19.359 --> 0:22:22.399 so I was like, I don't know what you're gonna say, 0:22:22.520 --> 0:22:25.639 is just like I'm not I don't know about pricky, 0:22:25.760 --> 0:22:28.240 like sending the blood and then they're like, no, no, 0:22:28.359 --> 0:22:30.919 just spin. I was like, oh, great, three it is. 0:22:33.000 --> 0:22:36.000 It's a lot of spit. But yes, it's a way 0:22:36.040 --> 0:22:40.000 better collecting than than blood in my opinion, way easier, 0:22:40.280 --> 0:22:44.200 way less dramatic. Um. Tanya and I were talking about 0:22:44.200 --> 0:22:46.600 so Tanya, both of her parents are Serbian and her 0:22:46.720 --> 0:22:48.760 their parents are Serbian, and she was like, I feel 0:22:48.880 --> 0:22:51.680 like I would be a Serbian and I was. I 0:22:51.720 --> 0:22:53.840 was saying, like, what if your results came back and 0:22:53.880 --> 0:22:57.520 it was totally different than what you expected. Do you 0:22:57.560 --> 0:23:00.320
