Can 23andMe Be Used To Detect Chronic Illness? 

Lam: 45% curl, 30% mao, 25% lank

“Update your website” They seriously should but that sass made me smile Edit BABY CAELUM JUST HUGGING THE CAMERA THERE 😍

that small "heck it" is such a mood

I actually found this video really interesting and definitely not boring

If someone thinks this stuff is boring, they don't have to watch... But I think making another video would be really beneficial to some of us! It's up to you!

I'd love a second video too. Hanging out and talking about your genes should be more common imo

If I had had science teachers as excited about all this as you are I probably would have had an easier time enjoying science

"That sounds fake, you're not a person."

Lamb :*screams* Aaron: *pencil thin moustache* hello have you been helped yet? Can I take your order?

P. S. I named one of my rats after you and now his name is certifiably Aaron Answeetie 😂❤️🐀 (he is SO sweet)

this might sound weird but your voice is so calming and soothing thank you for making your videos they make stressful days so much easier

Learned more in this video than I’ve ever learned in school.

Just watched a conspiracy video about 23 and me. This video slides into my sub box. Coincidence????????? Probably.

I DIDNT KNOW THAT NOT EVERYONE SNEEZES FROM LOOKING AT BRIGHT LIGHT AS WELL! It was so weird growing up. My dad had that quirk, but not my mom

"but u know what? heck it." this is a BIG mood

I'm majoring in Biology and your science explanations were so on point it made me so happy!

11/10 video I put this on in the background while I drew and ended up just watching it Genetics is my JAM

I legit dated a guy name John Johnson once

Yes to part two! Your enthusiasm for this and extended explanations of what these things mean made it interesting :)

Aaron you are really smart. Sorry for the simple comment, but I think it is cool when people really do their research and find the facts. Good video. I want to do 23andMe someday.

When my video was loading, all I saw was the lamb on Aaron’s shoulder and it was hecking adorable

Make a part two! These results are really interesting and it’s pretty cool to watch you go through them. Also damn, Aaron linguini knows his stuff about biology haha

it would be 19 & me for lamb, he's got 38 chromosomes

I know you are always worried about being animated enough but honestly aaron i love your videos bc you are chill and talk about important and interesting things without screaming of being too much. You help when i feel overwhelmed and i love your videos

THE MATHEMATICAL EQUATIONS HXDJSJSJDJJSJ Helo, Math Man Also the bio nerd in me LOVES GENETICS and has a m i g h t y need for a part 2 to this

YESSSS! Please make a part 2! This is sooo interesting! I have a chromosome mutation/translocation 8;9 to be exact and I reaaaally want to do the 23&me test to find out more. I met a geneticist at the hospital 10 years ago but he didn't know enough about that translocation to say if it gave me more chances of having certain illnesses. It's rare but both my grandma and my mom had the same. Oh also, Concerta is a stimulant. I used to take it but had to stop because I get too many side effects from stimulants. I'm now on Atomoxetine or brand name Strattera and that one isn't a stimulant.

9:58 IM SHOOK I ALSO THOUGHT EVERYONE SNEEZED WHEN THEY LOOKED AT A BRIGHT LIGHT

I like the way you explain things tho I always understand and find it very articulate

Calum is such a good Lamb

Your cat is beautiful

I would love a part two!! This was really interesting :) but then again, I’m a biology 🧬 geek 🤓

Came here and got a biology lesson aye lol

This was fascinating! Part two please :)

This is so cool!!!! PLEASE make a part 2!

Oh my god, your so perfect cat dad! My heart melts. Very interesting video! Thanks!

THE SNEEZING THING DOESNT HAPPEN TO EVERYONE WHAT ???

I had a distant uncle called John John

Literally BIOL1107K flashbacks when you were talking about cell division 🤣 please make another one of these videos, I thought it was really interesting!

Aaron this was an interesting video... Yes Please & Thank You, to a part 2. 😊 Don't even think that you're boring people, bc I'm still playing back everything in my mind like a game of memory (the kids game) Anyways Lamb ❤❤❤😏 & I loved that unexpected ending. Yeah for that little Geo Cat stamp !! 👨🏻‍🎨

This is so interesting already I can't wait ahh

i love this!! pls part 2

Hi I just wanted to let you know I absolutely love this video and your nice and clear explanations about genetics :D also I love genetics and human biology too so that's a cool match

Ayyy I spy the word misophonia I feel represented

This was a really cool video, I hope you're having a good day!

Hey, high key wanted to thank you for making this. I’ve been really sick and in a lot of pain for the last two years. Turns out I have Crohn’s disease and not one doctor believed me or my pain for 2 years of monthly Er visits. I got an endoscopy and was told that there was nothing wrong except gastritis. It then took my another year to convince them to give me an colonoscopy. Nothing was found, and my gastric pediatrician told me that there was NOTHING wrong with me told me it was just bc I have anxiety. I got upset with him and he discharged me from the practice bc I refused to believe him. After using livewello I showed some of the results (both gene variations for crohns I got from both parents) to my new adult gastrointestinal doc and he agreed to give me a pill formed endoscopy, which found severe ulceration, scaring, constricting, and bleeding. I’m finally being treated and I don’t think I would have ever gotten that pill had it not been for livewello and I wouldn’t have known about that if it wasn’t for you. For real, thanks and I wish u many spoons. Edit: Also it’s great that other people can know about this bc it’s a start to taking your health into your own hands.

Part 2 Please!

"update your website " made me cackle laugh so loud

I worked a lot on genetics like this in my co-op job during uni and 23 and me actually has quite the extensive process for sequencing your genetic code, they use a microchip next generation sequencing process. The thing is is that DNA doesn't completely dictate what happens to your phenotype, as it's a probability and not a fact as it relies on many other factors like environment etc. Also the page on their site should have a whole list of the health things they're testing for. Unless it was only the ancestry you tested for, because there's also a health one you can get at 23 and me. Anywho, good video!! You should do a part 2.

I love genetics so much. I studied it in high school and I get overly happy about you tubers learning theirs.

Definitely want a part 2. Also loving the input from Caelum.

Aaron AnSweetie! Also that ending was fantastic

*zooms in* "update your website" *the cutest smile ever*

Text commentary made my day!

Aaron: doesn't want video to drag on Also Aaron: continues to go through several results 😂 as a genetics and genomics major, I would love to see another video!

Hi Aaron, if you're interested in other genetic websites, I'd recommend Prometheus. It tells you the geneotypes of every gene that your test includes, and is regularly updated with scientific info/research on the genes. It's pretty easy to use, as you can use a drop down menu to search for genes related to certain conditions, or use a search bar. It also tells you how frequently a genotype occurs in the population, and whether it's "good" or "bad". It does have its flaws. A lot of the descriptions are written in a very scientific way, so I think that can get really confusing for people who haven't studied genetics/medicine. However, I like that it's not gimmicky like other websites. It shows you all genes tested and so you can find out about things that other sites don't bother testing for, and it's actually almost half the price of Livewello.

This is the most educational 23andme video I've ever watched a youtuber make

i love this vid and ur voice is so calming and also it was really cool how you explained stuff especially for ppl who don’t know a lot about this stuff, nice!

TIL that my nerdiness extends to genetics. I loved this video and would totally watch a part 2!

god please do part 2

Part 2 please! Its nice to know more about you.

I'd love a second video. The way you explain it makes it really interesting, and your videos are soothing so it doesnt matter what you make, it can't be boring

I'm actually really interested in the concept of "Genes related to empathy," so if you make a part two, please include the results from that test! 💜

There's a site called promethease.com that does these analyses (usually for free) using your 23 and me raw data and shows how your genotypes relate to each of the very many things they test for.

Dude i loved this video. genetic things are so interesting to me!

I was expecting to be bored, so I passed at first.... then I was bored, so figured I would watch. Not bored now!!! 🤓😂

You're such a sweet person! I'd personally love a part 2 {perhaps with your cat as a guest star?}. Regardless, I'm looking forward to any future content :)

hi! this video was really interesting. i studied pharmacy at university and one of my favorite topics covered was pharmacogenetics. basically, the core idea is that each individual has a slightly different way of metabolizing certain drugs and these differences may affect the efficacy of the treatment. so that's why some drugs may work better than others for an individual. also really cool to see you being critical of the claims these tests make and how they are not always accurate

I love it!!

Lamie, also, I’m slow, you shaved the sides of your head! I’ve always liked it like that, also Also, I knew you were more then Italian, but being mostly Italy Italian doesn’t surprise me, I hope to god you don’t get altimeters, lamie lamie lamie, yes more about this :3 I could listen to you talk for hours and lol at the rubber band part, me all day every day

I found this super interesting too, would be keen for a part 2! I enjoy how you took the time to break down a lot of the information! As someone who finds genetics intriguing but knows very little, that was so helpful.

Where were you when I was learning basic genetics! 🧐🤔🤷🏻‍♂️ You’d make s good teacher, FYI! ❤️

Good job, Aaron ❤️

I really enjoyed this. Thank you for sharing!

i would LOVE a part 2!!!!

Aaaaa I wanna! See more ,,,, it's so nice listening to you talk about this stuff?? Pls do another one!

This is so cool. Please more!!!!!

its not boring at all!! i love long videos and this theme is hella interesting

Bring on part 2! Really enjoyed this and hope you have a great week too!

I am so glad you made this! Yes it is long, and yes The Lamb is having a love crisis, but I have been wanting to take these tests for ages now but didn't know if I should because you never know how good the results would be. Thanks for the tip about livewello!

This video was so perfectly timed because I just learned about genetics in bio and so I understood everythig you were talking about.

This was super interesting and I really appreciated your breakdown of genetics. I'd be down for a part 2!

“But you know what? Heck it.” Bless Aaron Ansuini ✨✨✨

Please make a part 2!! I love hearing you talk about subjects that interest you (like genetics). So yeah that’s all I hope you have a great day ❤️

Part two please! Would love that😊❤️

This was fascinating! I'd heard of 23andMe, but I had no idea that they had a health option, and I certainly didn't know quite how much you could find out from it. At the moment it's a little out of my budget, but I definitely want to try it one day.

Not boring at all, would love to see more!

Stumbling on this so late but HOLY COW! This video was so informative and helpful! Thank you so much

14/10 would love another video like this, it was super interesting and also your videos in general are very relaxing to watch.

My dude I'm here for anything whether short or long. I'm here for you. Thanx for making the video

Hi yes I love your videos so much, part 2 would be amazing, but only if you feel up for it! I definitely feel this video will come in handy when I have trouble falling asleep, your voice and choice of music are both excellent :D

I would find it really interesting if you‘d make another video like this one :) your knowledge is interesting and I‘m always happy when I hear stuff that I know from uni XD

Yes for another video!

Whaaaaaaat I never knew the sneezing thing, I thought it happened to everyone too!

20 minutes videos in my opinion arent really that long lol! I'd love to see more!

Ah! I know why you flush to alcohol ☝️ with EDS it's common to be alcohol intolerant (Meaning your body can't break it down the same way. Or some other vague science I've forgotten). I have this too, and learned the hard way. Now I don't drink anymore at all except one or two on special occasions 😁

I would really enjoy a second video like this

GG stands for Giovanni Giovanni

What Aaron says: wello What i hear: abuelo

Omg the bright light sneeze! I sneeze! I literally didn’t know this was a thing people couldn’t do

I think second part would be super interesting :3
