26: Why should you take a DNA test? The next step in wellness.

To celebrate National DNA day this week, today’s episode is all about DNA and genetics as I interview former Olympic medalist and founding team member of the award winning Circle DNA, Andrew Steele. Why should we test? What is DNA? Why does it matter? All these questions are answered. We discuss all things genetic, genome, epigenetics, nature nurture debate, personalized wellness and more. Andrew shares his story about why he moved away from professional sports to now pioneering at home DNA testing. I love Circle DNA as it's finally democratizing DNA testing and making something that was so out of reach accessible for all and affordable.

A little bit about the NOT PERFECT podcast. Thank you for reading this and thank you for being here. The intention for this podcast is to share conversations on the subjects that can nurture our life from the inside. Just like physical exercise takes work and commitment, I believe our emotional health requires the same attention. Life throws curve balls unexpectedly and these can feel much more manageable when we know more about our mind. I hope these episodes are helpful in sharing tools, tips and insights into our brilliant hardware that can feel faulty but always fixable. I would love to hear from you if you have any feedback or guest suggestions, please find me on instagram @poppyjamie and @happynotperfect.
