This episode is something special I did in conjunction with 23andMe and the SPIT podcast which you can hear on iHeartRadio.  I took a look into what my DNA says about me.  Beyond what my ancestry says, with a focus on my health.  Throughout this process I learned about two genetic variants that could impact myself or my family and also that I have a typical likelihood of developing type 2 diabetes, which has always been a concern since it runs in my family.  There’s also fun stuff I learned from my DNA… I won’t be losing my hair anytime soon and why I experience itchier mosquito bites.  Stacey Detweiler and Alisa Lehman from the 23andMe team both join me to go over some of my results and help understand more about my DNA.

Next, I go a little deeper into what the results I got specifically mean to me.  Things I’ve experienced with my family and in my past and why this process has been eye opening in some cases.  The best thing to come out of this has been the information learned and knowing what to do next to improve my health.
