Your genetic data is a gold mine of information about your health and ways to prevent chronic diseases.
If you are just getting started with learning about your genes, keep in mind that it is both genetics and environmental factors (diet, lifestyle, sleep, microbiome) that combine to cause problems. Utilize your genetic raw data file as one tool for getting to the root of your health problems — or for preventing issues that may run in your family.
