KEY TAKEAWAYS:
- Testing for a specific gene means you may have a predisposition to diseases, but other factors are involved when testing positive, like lifestyle and diet.
- If you test positive for the Alzheimer’s gene, it is best to get educated and do the research into all factors of the disease.
- When talking to your patients, it is important to not overwhelm them with a lot of information at once. Find a few key takeaways and a couple actionable items to present to them instead of digging into everything at once. Then, after a while you can start to build on what they’re already doing.
