In this series, we’re exploring the balance between what you can and can’t control when it comes to your health.






On this episode, Chuck Gaidica is joined by Care Management Physician of Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan, Dr. Angela Seabright. Together, they explore the role of genetics and family history in our health.






In this episode of A Healthier Michigan Podcast, we explore:

• How genes provide a blueprint for how the body functions, and genetic mutations can increase the risk of certain diseases.
• How genetic testing can help identify inherited disease risks, but should be done with guidance from a doctor.
• How advances in genetics and gene therapy offer hope for future treatments that can target the root causes of diseases.
• How even though individuals can't change their genetic makeup, they can take control of their health through positive lifestyle choices.





While we can’t change our genetics, aging brings its own set of challenges. In our next episode, we’ll talk about how to embrace the changes that come with age while focusing on what you can control to thrive at any stage of life.
