I believe that the more you know about your health, the more you can do to improve it. This belief in [[Locus of Control| our ability to determine our own future]] is part of what makes me a runner, and what makes me a proponent of genetic testing. I'm a big fan of [http://refer.23andme.com/a/clk/1Y8vsR 23 and Me], the genetic testing company, and when the price came down to under $100, I immediately went ahead with the test. To give you a sense of what information the testing gives you, I've included some screen shots and printouts from my results. If you go ahead with the testing, or you already have been tested, then I'll accept any sharing invitations on 23 and me so you can see my full details. If you'd like to support this site, then please use this [[http://refer.23andme.com/a/clk/1Y8vsR 23 and Me] referral link to 23andme.com].
