Getting Started: Learning from your genes

There’s a ton of research on genetics that has been published in recent years.

I’ll explain that research – and how to apply it to your life. My goal is to spread the word and educate people on how to use their genetic data from 23andMe, Ancestry.com, or other sources.

Personalized health information that you can actually use!  And clearly referenced so that you can go read the research yourself. Yep – all free with no catch.

So pour yourself a cup of coffee and start reading.
