It is important to keep in mind that there are potential downsides to genetic testing. There is a tendency to view genotype results as a definitive diagnosis and to assume that you absolutely have certain traits, when this is not what a genetic analysis measures.
The analysis only measures your risk for different outcomes, or the likelihood that your phenotype will express what your genotype predicts. Meaning, your results only suggest that there is a greater or lesser chance that you may exhibit certain traits or responses.
There is still much to be learned about genes and their interactions with diet, exercise, and the environment and how they can affect your overall health.
