The Best Use of Your 23&me Results
You may have gotten the 23&me kit in the last couple years from a relative for Christmas, or may have purchased it for yourself just out of curiosity and to be part of the new hype. Most people enjoy learning about their origins including that they are 1.75% Northern European or 3.1% Jewish. I agree, these discoveries are super fun and well worth the investment (I am not going to discuss what the company does with your data which has been the topic of hot debate, up to you to decide if you feel comfortable with that!).
Used for more “serious” purposes, 23&me can help establish paternity (although not a test that the courts acknowledge), help relatives find each other, expose twisted fertility doctors among other things.
As a health and more specifically, neuroscience nerd, my favorite part though is the health report. 23&me not only tells you about your origins but also shows you your genetic predisposition to certain well established illnesses. So cool! I have discussed the implications for Alzheimer’s in another blog post. Here I want to talk about the fact that there is a super cool tool available to doctors like I am that can translate your 23&me results into a comprehensive list of PERSONALIZED supplement recommendations.
This is personalized medicine at its finest! Just contact us at hello@pearlbh.com and we will give you the instructions. Even better, we can ship the supplement package to you monthly so you don’t even have to worry about any of it. Contact us today for details.
