GENETIC COUNSELLING WITH KATHERINE HOLZER
In this episode we are joined by a very interesting guest, Katherine Holzer who is a Genetic Counsellor in the States.
So first things first we find out what exactly Genetic Counselling is and why Katherine chose this fascinating field.
She takes us through common genetic conditions that are tested and why genetic counselling is so beneficial.
The different types of genetic tests from at home ones to those done in the lab and the pros and cons of each.
We discuss price ranges and testing times.
If DNA testing for food allergies/ intolerances or to prescribe a certain diet lives up to its hype.
We look into the limitations of genetic testing and its future.
This was a really eye opening podcast for us all and again highlighted the importance of health needing a multidisciplinary and holistic approach.
We hope you enjoy it!
