We hear a lot of different – and sometimes conflicting – opinions about how to take care of our health. I’m very excited about receiving only the most relevant information to me, based on my DNA.
This has been a big catalyst in getting me to make life-changing health decisions. I’ve shared my results with my doctor, made significant health changes, and lost the weight I’ve been trying to lose for years.
I was adopted, so I don’t have any specific information about my family history. Now, having my DNA information really makes me feel that I finally have an identity and that I’m the one controlling my destiny.
MoreMy risk results were invaluable. After I received my Navigenics results, which indicated a high risk for glaucoma, I went right in for an eye test that indicated a jump in my eye pressure. I’m so glad that we were able to catch this before it became a problem.
I found it really easy to get my Navigenics results, to understand them, and then to follow up with a Genetic Counselor. She made it very clear to me what steps I could take to lower my risk – and how various lifestyle changes might help me.
Even though I’m on the younger side, my results got my doctor to check my eyes for macular degeneration. Guess what? She found three tiny spots—the very beginnings of the condition. I wouldn’t be getting early care to ward off this vision-stealing illness without the empowering results my genetic test provided me.
I've heard people say, 'Gee, I wouldn't want to know.' But, how could you not want to know? I think it's important to know as much as you can, so you can make decisions that will enable you to control your life, how long you're going to live, and especially what the quality of your life is going to be.
I assumed that I knew my family history, but after I saw my high risk for diabetes, I realized that I didn’t know as much as I thought. I was surprised by my results, so I asked my mother if there were any risk factors in our family that I didn’t know about. It turns out that there is diabetes in my family, but until that moment, it had never been discussed.
At first, I didn’t realize I’d be getting updated results. There was so much information contained in my first batch of results that it seemed really valuable all on its own. So when I received my next set of results, I was pleasantly surprised and really pleased, because it made me realize I’d always be learning something new about my health, and that gave me more assurance that I could influence and control how my health may unfold over time.
