59. Better Testing Leads to Better Health Outcomes, with Dahlia Attia-King of Panacea

All Too Well

Did you know that DIY genetic tests like 23&Me miss 90% of genetic mutations? THAT’S A LOT OF MISSES. We’re only just beginning to crack the code on what we can detect and how we can use that information to change future outcomes, and Dahlia Attia-King, founder and CEO of Panacea is at the forefront of this movement. Listen as she breaks this info down into simple language that we can all understand—this is important stuff, guys!

****MAJOR DEAL ALERT: Listeners can use the code ERICA50 for 50% off their order at seekpanacea.com

WE COVERED:

* How current guidelines for doctors to order genetic tests are missing about half of the people with harmful genetic mutations.

* Even when insurance does cover testing, it can cost upwards of $10,000, making it prohibitively expensive.

* How testing herself for controls led Dahlia to a shocking discovery about her own health

* 50% of the time, family history is not a good indication—everyone should get a test to understand what they are carrying

* The range of diseases that can present in genetic testing

* Whether or not you want to know
