Summary
In this conversation, Dr. Miles discusses his experience with genomic testing and shares his results. He initially investigated a company called Nebula Genomics, which claimed to use blockchain technology to store and protect personal genomes. However, Miles discovered that the company was not actually implementing this technology. He then shares his own genetic predispositions, such as a high genetic score for insomnia. Miles emphasizes the importance of taking genetic test results with a grain of salt and considering other factors like lifestyle and environment. He also highlights the need for continuous learning, socializing, good sleep, exercise, meditation, and a healthy diet to mitigate potential health risks.
Takeaways
Genomic testing can provide insights into genetic predispositions, but it's important to take the results with a grain of salt and consider other factors like lifestyle and environment.
Family history plays a role in genetic predispositions, and it's important to be aware of potential health risks based on family members' experiences.
Maintaining good sleep hygiene, exercising regularly, and following a healthy diet can help mitigate potential health risks.
Genomic testing may not provide highly insightful information, but it can be interesting for science and health enthusiasts who want to learn more about their genetic makeup.
