Some of you might be saying "No, don't send your genetic material to these personal genotyping services. They might do something nefarious with it!" The service I went with, Sequencing.com, has an iron-clad privacy forever policy that allows you to totally delete your data from their servers which is what I intend to do after getting our reports back. But ultimately, I decided to send our genetic material for sequencing because, after reading a couple of books on genetics, I'm convinced that the information you get about yourself from genotyping is so empowering that it's worth almost any nefarious thing that they might do with our data. But I don't think this is even that big of a concern because of the very serious laws that a company like Sequencing.com is bound by.
👇 After we get our personal genotyping results back in a few months I anticipate I'll do a podcast interview with Dr. Brandon Colby; founder of Sequencing.com and author of "Outsmart Your Genes." If you got questions about genetics drop them below as a comment and I'll pose them to him...
Thanks Jonathan! Definitely seems like a positive step in defining a truly realistic health and life path, with the exception of false and/or misleading information- but alas, if you make an attempt at applying some of the provided information and it doesn’t seem to work, then make adjustments accordingly…it also puts the placebo effect into play in some respects, as far as suggestion and thereby susceptibility to suggestion are concerned. Having learned to distrust so much, both in the medical information and just information in general, the persuasive argument has become a tedious one concerning anything new or ‘advanced’. 😉👍

Good point! Have you gotten your genotyping done?
