Healthy As A Mother

#56: Genetic Testing and Your Fertility Journey with Natalie Samson


Listen Later

In today’s episode, Dr Leah interviews Natalie Samson, a Board-Certified Genetic Counselor who approaches genetic testing a little differently than your average genetic counselor. We talk about preconception testing, carrier testing, and how impactful that may be along your fertility journey. Dr Leah shares the pivotal moment in her fertility journey when she finally did carrier testing and it explained so much. We discuss the benefit of genetic testing to reduce the risk of developing conditions or diseases, if miscarriage is genetic, and the role our diet and lifestyle play in our genes. We talk about why getting your genes tested with big companies like Ancestry or 23 and Me may not be the wisest option, and so much more. Let's dive right in!
