The Daily Dive: What I Learned About My Health From Exploring My DNA

This episode is something special I did in conjunction with 23andMe and the SPIT podcast which you can hear on iHeartRadio.  I took a look into what my DNA says about me.  Beyond what my ancestry says, with a focus on my health.  Throughout this process I learned about two genetic variants that could impact myself or my family and also that I have a typical likelihood of developing type 2 diabetes, which has always been a concern since it runs in my family.  There’s also fun stuff I learned from my DNA… I won’t be losing my hair anytime soon and why I experience itchier mosquito bites.  Stacey Detweiler and Alisa Lehman from the 23andMe team both join me to go over some of my results and help understand more about my DNA.   Next, I go a little deeper into what the results I got specifically mean to me.  Things I’ve experienced with my family and in my past and why this process has been eye opening in some cases.  The best thing to come out of this has been the information learned and knowing what to do next to improve my health.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Is Precision Medicine the Future of Healthcare?

Why do certain medications work for some patients but not for others? Environment and lifestyle play a part, but scientists are now beginning to understand that DNA is also a key factor. That’s why precision medicine, which involves tailoring treatments to meet individual patients’ needs, could very well be the future of healthcare, resulting in less guesswork and fewer complications. In this episode, Baratunde is joined by Dr. Rick Kittles, a pioneering geneticist and professor at City of Hope’s Comprehensive Cancer Center; Dr. Julie Johnson, Dean of the University of Florida College of Pharmacy; and Roxane Gay, also a doctor (of rhetoric and technical communication!) and author of critically-acclaimed books like Hunger and Bad Feminist. They discuss the intersection of genetics and disease treatment and prevention, what the lack of diversity in data sets means for underserved populations, and why we’ll all benefit when we stop treating healthcare like it’s one-size-fits-all.
