Genetic Testing - Powerful tool for health & wellness? Or fuel for worry?

from A Functional Approach with Dr. Jim Chialtas · host Jim Chialtas, DACM, L.Ac.

In this 54th episode, we discuss concepts around genetic testing. The identification of Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs), otherwise known as mutations to one base pair of DNA, can be linked to many different disease expressions and/or physiological mechanisms in our bodies. Testing for them can be helpful in understanding what we may have in store for us, and how we may want to address our healthcare. But is there such thing as too much information? How might this impact a person's sense of happiness for the life they have left to life? Can knowledge of a genetic trait lead to destructive behavior by mistake? These are things that one must consider before testing like this. There are always risks and benefits. Certain people may benefit while others suffer. Listen and explore these concepts and more!
