79. Why Genetic Testing Can Be A Valuable Tool For Dancers


Listen Later

Do you have more slow twitch or fast twitch muscle fibers? Does your body process B vitamins quickly making you more sluggish sometimes? Maybe you’re like me and you have no idea. So what if a genetic test could tell you specific information like that and even more like information about nutrition, and heart health, plus caffeine and sleep? 

Today I talked with Sarah Haslock Johnson, founder of Dance RX, which I’m telling you, is so exciting. It’s an at-home genetic test and wellness resource, specifically crafted with dance optimization in mind. In this interview, we talked all about Dance RX, but also what it takes to be a good teacher, the industry-wide mental health concerns that were part of her motivation to create Dance RX, and more. So this is the story of Sarah’s journey and the power of Dance RX.
