Ep. 49: The Test Your Doctor Isn’t Ordering with Natalie Samson

What if your DNA could tell your doctor exactly how to treat you from the get-go, before you spent years being dismissed, misdiagnosed, or prescribed the wrong medication? This week Alex is sitting down with genetic counselor and founder of Golden Genetics, Natalie Samson, to cover everything from diagnostic cancer-screening panels to functional root-cause genetic testing that can reveal your predisposition to insulin resistance, inflammation, celiac disease, obesity, and mood disorders. We also dive into pharmacogenomics, a groundbreaking field that reveals how your body will actually respond to medications including SSRIs! Alex and Natalie also explore the genetic components behind conditions that disproportionately affect women and are notoriously difficult to diagnose like PCOS, endometriosis, gut issues, and chronic inflammation. Natalie even explains fertility testing, genetic carrier screening, and the emerging science of epigenetics. Women MUST be their own advocates within our healthcare system, and this episode will give you the info to do just that!Get your 4P score!Work with Golden Genetics: www.goldengenetics.comFollow Natalie: @geneticswithnatalieFollow "Glow Up And Speak Out" on IG: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@glowupandspeakout⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Shop Alex’s faves in beauty and wellness on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ShopMy⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.Subscribe to our newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ HERE!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Links and Discounts!Prolon: Tap the link below for 15% off your 5-day nutrition kit to get ALL of the benefits of fasting (including cell autophagy) - while still eating!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://partners.prolonlife.com/ALEXANDRAFERRARA⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Plant People: For 15% off any doctor-formulated supplement, enter code: GLOWUP at checkout.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.plantpeople.co⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Fatty15: Click the link below for 20% off your Fatty15 Starter Kit 90-Day Supply of supplements for healthy aging.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠FATTY15 + GLOWUP⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠K.
