Let’s be frank, before 23andme and Ancestry DNA, you probably weren’t talking too much about your DNA. For sure, you might have wondered about your family tree and done a bit of digging with some of your family photo albums and scrapbooks. But, did you make an appointment with your doctor knowing why a DNA test is important? Did you know how it can help to fine-tune your health?
The New York Times recently published an article claiming that employee wellness programs yield little benefit. This claim was based on an 18-month study of 33,000 BJ’s Wholesale Club employees participating in the workplace wellness program. While the workers became more engaged in their health, there were no significant changes in clinical markers of health or healthcare spending.
PHOENIX, AZ. (January 27, 2019) – Fitness fads come and go but Advanced Genomic Solutions (AGS), an international leader in genomic testing, is bringing a health trend that they believe will last.

We all know that person (I was going to say child but I still do this myself) who goes to the Christmas tree, picks up a wrapped present, shakes it and then tries to guess what is inside. Not to brag but I have been pretty darn accurate in the past with my guesses! Playing the 'guessing game' makes gift-giving... and gift-receiving... a heck of a lot more fun! What are the best gifts this holiday season? Have you thought about which gifts are useful or just clutter up a shelf? Are there any repercussions? Am I giving what is best? Am I protecting them? Well there is much more behind gift giving than wondering if the recipient will like it.
If you are like me, you have at least one person on your list every year that seems to “have everything.” These people can always be hard to shop for and find the right gift. So this holiday season why not give them a gift that will last a lifetime, and can give them unique insight to improve their health? Have you guessed what it could be yet? Well, if you are thinking an AGS Genetic Test then you guessed right!
