Have you heard of or thought about doing 23&Me test? Well this week we dive deep into the only direct to consumer genetics company with FDA approval and the first to return health reports with our very first Geneti-SIS on the show, Dr. Altovise Ewing. We understand what this means for Black people specifically in regards to accuracy. We also give you all the TEA about 23&Me around the partnership they have with GSK and what went down with the FDA. Lastly, we will hear from our special guest, Casey Gerald on his experience on 23&Me and what his thoughts are around access to health tests.
