Just what is genetic testing and how can it help your health?

Tune into “The Doctors” show on television today and you’ll get answers.

The show’s “Secrets to Living Longer” episode – which will air at 4 p.m. on Fox in many media markets – features the Navigenics genetic testing services.

Learn how a simple saliva test can help you determine whether you are genetically predisposed to certain diseases such as colon cancer, diabetes and Alzheimer’s disease. The tests can enable you and your physician to come up with a personalized health plan to prevent the conditions, delay them or detect them early.

Navigenics uses only government-certified laboratories and is the #1 physician recommended genetic testing service. We are the only personalized genetic testing company that provides the support of board-certified Genetic Counselors to help you understand your genetic test results and what you can do to take control of your health.

I caught the second part of the show and thought it was pretty cool. Amazing how that one guy’s genetic test showed he was at high risk for colon cancer and he admitted he had a family history of that disease. Really helps show how good genetic testing can be at determining whether you are at risk for a disease.
