Genetic testing is more than just ancestry results. It can be one of the most powerful tools for supporting your child's long-term health and making informed medical decisions. In this empowering episode, Dr. Elana is joined by board-certified genetic counselor, Natalie Samson, to explore how DNA testing can help personalize everything from supplements to nutrition, vaccine protocols and emotional well-being.

Natalie makes complex science feel easy to understand, offering real-life examples for moms who want clarity, not confusion. Dr. Elana also shares how genetic testing helped her tailor supplement plans, prepare for pregnancy and feel more grounded in her family's health decisions.

Whether you are planning for pregnancy, navigating chronic symptoms, or facing vaccine decisions, this episode offers trusted education and encouragement so you feel informed and prepared.

Dr. Gabriela Sheets is a human biologist and mama who has spent over a decade researching the early development of the infant microbiome (how babies acquire important microorganisms in and on their bodies). Her research has earned her numerous grants and awards, yet her passion lies in sharing this information with those who can make the most difference for the next generation: moms! In her time away from her deliciously wild three-year-old, Gabriela consults with mamas, practitioners and companies in all things microbiome. To make this valuable and actionable information more widely accessible, Gabriela is developing a series of online educational programs for young families and practitioners. Most recently, she has teamed up with Needed to support their prenatal program and to co-develop their upcoming infant/kids line. Gabriela believes we can support human thriving, one mama and baby at a time!
