Genetic Profiling, Part 1

Podcast

Genetic profiling—is it the future of medicine? Dr. Michael Nova, Chief Science Officer for Pathway Genomics, shares his latest findings: Does genetic profiling provide the key to understanding our biochemical individuality? Is there an “obesity gene” that dooms certain people to fatness? Is DNA destiny? How does epigenetics shape the expression of our genes? Can we overcome our genetic programming through nutrition, exercise, and targeted supplementation? How far along are we in understanding the role genes play in predicting our health? What is the Pathway Genomics test? Does it reveal MTHFR variations that require people to take more methylfolate, B12 and B6? How does it inform our choices about diet, exercise, and nutraceuticals? Are there concerns about confidentiality in divulging genetic findings to employers, insurance companies, and government databases? Why are Pathway Genomics genetic profiles only available via health providers and not direct-to-consumers? Click HERE for part 2.
