Kids have homemade breakfast, faces greased to the gods and Burt’s bees chapstick and I’ve been getting 6+ hrs of sleep. My secret? Creating a delusional space by clicking “not interested” in current events. 😊 keeping epigenetic damage to a minimum. 🧬💪🏾 it’s a good day to have a good day! 💗

Saw this and I have thoughts as a genetic counselor. Worry about the future is a privilege and you sound like an asshole if you judge on that. GCs know what it’s like to tell someone they have a gene with a high risk for cancer and see them NOT have the recommended MRI/ surgery ahead of time (🧵)

Thinking of all the genetic counselors who made content on TikTok 🙏🏾. Of the younger ppl who have had genetic testing, I’ve heard a lot say that podcast influenced them but not short form contents. maybe bc influence is all ubiquitous? Would love to see some data on influence+uptake of testing.

They may have 50% of my DNA 🧬 but for sure 100% of my attitude 🤣🤣! Happy Founders’ Day to my pretty Sorors of Alpha Kappa Alpha, Inc! I know I’ve got AKA GCs in the mix, too! 💚💗💚💗

Interesting read, since we know environment plays a big party in dementias. How many genetic counselors are asked about genes linked to dementia daily?? I’ll just add this to my spiel of possibilities 😩

Getting older means realizing the line “Maybe not in time for you and I” in the Someday at Christmas song now, in fact, applies to you. 💔🎄

At Disney thinking of a patient my 1st yr as a genetic counselor who, after being told she had breast cancer AND a gene that meant aggressive treatment the week b4 Thanksgiving. She asked if it could wait bc she was going to Disney w/her grandkids. I was stunned #genechat 1/2

Good luck to everyone traveling to see family this holiday with big genetic testing results to share. Bc genetics are a family thing, this is a key time to alert family if there’s a concern. Please show those who have tough news to break some grace. 🙏🏾 #genechat

I’m at Disney and ppl have been FULLY DECKED OUT in Christmas attire. The older I get, the more annoyed I am with Thanksgiving erasure! Can we be grateful first…and be gluttonous with food before presents? Sheesh…

Please don’t call these ppl stupid. Two things here: Desperation to receive medical advice is a symptom of our fractured healthcare system. Trust- ppl will share info if they trust you and we still have a ways to go as clinicians to do that. First step is speaking in plain English and honesty.
Users on X have been submitting their X-rays, MRIs and other medical images to the platform’s AI chatbot, asking for diagnoses.

We had someone come by and clean the house yesterday (my raising makes it hard to pay for things I’ve been made to do!) and…never in all my days have I felt that money brings true happiness 🫠 House looks great and I feel amazing…

Was thinking this exact mantra when I saw someone say that Threads is also toxic. Beloved, if everywhere you go becomes toxic…anyway, what a wonderful opportunity to rebuild an algorithm to reflect what you really need to be human. ☺️
