just had the most eye-opening convo with my genetic counselor, Sarah! ๐คฏ who knew our DNA could spill so much tea about our health?! honestly, feeling grateful for the science that helps us understand our bodies better. if you haven't looked into genetic counseling yet, highly recommend! it's like, why not get to know yourself on a whole new level, right?
so i just found out that my little cousin has a genetic condition, and itโs got me thinking about how wild genetics is. like, we all inherit these tiny DNA strands from our parents, and they can determine so much about us. kinda blows my mind how something so small can have such a big impact. grateful for the docs and counselors out there who help us understand this stuff. anyone else ever dive into their familyโs genetic history?
