Health and wellness coaches can now help people take control of their health in a different way—through genetic testing! Genetic testing can help people identify disease risks and make informed healthcare decisions. Dahlia Attia-King discusses genetic testing options—whole exome and genome sequencing—and how it can help someone identify disease risk and how health coaches can help clients with genetic testing.

In this episode, they talk about:

  • What is whole exome and genome sequencing

  • The cost of whole exome and whole genome sequencing

  • The high costs of genetic testing in the US healthcare system and Panacea’s discounted whole exome sequencing

  • The difference between clinical genetic testing and testing with companies like 23andMe

  • Reasons a doctor would have for sending someone for genetic testing

  • Do health coaches or doctors need to worry about interpreting genetic tests if they refer someone to Panacea

  • Lifestyle changes that could help reduce the risk of genetic mutation-related diseases

  • Would it work to have one family member get tested and share results, or does everyone need their own test

  • Risks of data breaches and Panacea’s approach to keeping the data safe

  • The different types of risks associated with genetic testing – technical, physical, psychological

Memorable Quotes

“Panacea has empowered me as a human being to get in control of my health and not let my genes determine my destiny. I’m determining my destiny.”

“Your genes are not your destiny. And that is nowhere more true than in genetic testing. Because if you can uncover where your genes might be carrying some danger for you, then you can outsmart them, get ahead of it, and be in control.”

“The power of genetic testing is in its ability to give you an idea of what your future could look like and how you can change it.”

BIO:

Dahlia is the Founder and CEO of Panacea and has a BS in Biology and Chemistry from the University of Miami. Dahlia’s experience working for genetic laboratories exposed her to the reality that very few patients were able to access valuable preventative clinical genetic tests. With an additional 6 years in Healthcare IT, Dahlia learned about the technology solutions integral in pushing healthcare into a much needed era of modernization. After embarking on a multi-year journey to unravel the reasons for genetic testing underutilization, she met Dr. Hinco Gierman and they were inspired to create a solution. Panacea was founded with a mission to improve access to clinical genetic testing so that people can get in control of their health and prevent disease. Panacea now offers residents of almost every state the ability to access at-home clinical genetic testing called Whole Exome Sequencing, empowering people to potentially save their own lives.
