After a Recent Medical Scare, I Did At-Home Genetic Testing

Advocate for your health.

I feel incredibly lucky to receive these follow-up results and am so grateful that, almost two years later, the deeply unsettling panic that once upended my entire world has now faded into a distant memory. But all this has also made me more aware of how important it is to advocate for my own health.

Listen to me: your annual exam is incredibly important. And while it's easy to make excuses and skip that annual appointment — or even to conveniently neglect it out of fear of the unknown — please don't. The point of preventative exams is to catch potential issues and address them early on. We are fortunate to live in such a medically advanced world, so take advantage of that fact!
