Description

This week's episode of ReInvent Healthcare is the final in the Nutrigenomics and Epigenetics series.  We cover some of the questions which may be on your mind, including ‘what's the best genetic test?’ A lot of people were concerned, and rightly so, when the popular company 23andMe was bought out by a drug company.  Would their information not be private? Would the genetic information from testing be shared with drug companies for research?  Tune in to learn how to use 23andMe, compared to other genetic tests, as well as top books and resources, and how to explain genetic findings to clients.
