With endless amounts of information at our fingertips, we have quickly evolved into a self-diagnosing society where knowledge is power. Dr. Jessica Langbaum is the director for the Alzheimer's Prevention Registry (www.endALZnow.org), and she helps us untangle the risk and reward of genetic disclosures. She explores potential risks by choosing at-home DNA kits instead of teaming up with a healthcare provider or genetic counselor, who are better equipped to guide you on what the results mean and how to integrate them into your life. We also discuss The Registry, a program that works to support Alzheimer’s disease research and to educate the public by sharing reliable information about Alzheimer’s and Alzheimer’s prevention efforts.
