If a crystal ball could reveal your risk for developing heart disease, breast cancer or Alzheimer’s disease, would you pay to take a look? Would you believe what is predicted and would you be willing to change your behaviour to prevent or reduce the risk of this disease?

These are the questions we need to ask as we enter this new age of genomic medicine to enable us to understand the power of our genetic potential. It is widely accepted that our genes do not determine our destiny, like the probability of rain in next week’s weather forecast. Appreciating that polygenic scores have inherent uncertainty is key because this uncertainty leaves room for us to take action.

We know that for many complex diseases, behaviour and how we respond through diet and therapeutic interventions are just as important as genes in setting the stage for what is to come. We have the power to prevent or modify the trajectory of the disease.

Join us for a powerful and fascinating session that will empower you to understand how the information gained through genetic testing can be informative and supportive of your long-term health goals so you can take immediate action. The future of your health is in your hands.

Key learnings:

1. Understand the strengths and weaknesses of genetic testing
2. Know which tests provide the most valuable information at present
3. Learn what makes a gene dirty and how to apply epigenetic strategies to ‘clean genes’ up
4. Learn practical dietary and lifestyle factors shown to influence gene expression
