Tonight, I thought it would be nice to check out my genetic profile from 23andMe to find out if they found a gene to explain my insomnia. Months ago the brilliant scientists at 23andMe took ungodly amounts of spit and spent a month mapping out my DNA. It turns out that I am lactose intolerant, have wet earwax, brown eyes, and a propensity towards obesity. Did I mention that the ‘Asian Flush’ that I used to wear as a badge of honor was sorely dismissed by their findings? I am less sensitive to alcohol than others that apparently get flushed (darn it- I have no excuse for blushing).

The good news is I metabolize caffeine faster than the average cup o’ Joe. Great, just what I need is yet another reason to crack open a Red Bull!

More reports to come on my DNA reading. I find 23andMe a much more reliable source than any other predictions to date. The data is straightforward and information accurately updated.
