Genes for Good

Hey guys i wanted to share an awesome free way to get your DNA tested! The process is a bit of a pain but I think it will be worth it in the end.
Type in Genes for good in the search bar on Facebook and when you click on the page it will give you an option to use the app. Sign up and the it will ask you to fill out a lot of tests to collect data on the DNA they will get from you later.

once you finish the tests it will have you give them your address and they send you a spit kit. once you send it back it takes a long time to get your results because there are so many people already ahead of you. It took me 3 months to get my results and honestly i was very disappointed.. BUT! you can download your data and upload it into the website https://www.gedmatch.com also for free and they will break it down for you and you will have so much info! I am currently waiting on my code to download my data so i still do not know what mine is.. all Genes for good showed me is that i'm European.
If you have any questions about genes for good or want me to post my results once i get the code leave a comment down below! https://apps.facebook.com/genesforgood

Or a family member who fights addiction, obesity, or mental illness?Odds are you do. We aim to work toward cures for generations yet to come by generating and analyzing an enormous database of health and genetic information. The Genes for Good research study is a way to collect this information. This research will provide valuable biological insight into the causes of common diseases, and thus informing treatment and prevention efforts. To make the biggest advances, we need tens of thousands of participants.Learn about Yourself. As a participant in Genes for Good you have a unique opportunity to learn about your health, behavior, ancestors, and how you compare to other study participants. Using plotting tools we visualize information you provide to the study in the App itself. If you like, you can also download your uninterpreted genetic data. After all, it's your information and you should be able to do with it what you wish."

Hello there i am Chelsea! I am gonna try this blog thing and i will probably fail miserably. I feel like there is so many people out there that think like i do or need to see something from different perspective. My mind is always going crazy thinking about what ifs and silly things that have no significance. I suffer from Chronic Depression, Rheumatoid Disease, Anxiety, and Bi-polar disorder. I really have no plan for where this blog site thing will end up or if anyone will actually read it. This will probably end up being me rambling on about every situation i run into and not a specific topic.  Cayson I have two sons ages one and five. my kids are my life, I will most definitely end up with some mommy madness blogs lmao. Cayson is in transition kindergarten and Brantley goes to daycare.  Brantley I live in Oklahoma and i am buying a trailer with my boyfriend Edward of almost 10 months(met on march 23 2017) He is my other half for sure I carry all the crazy and he ca

Its 10:34 at night and Brantley has finally fallen asleep after 3 hours of crying. I know its not super late but i have been done with today since 1pm. Momming is hard. I had never realized how much it takes to be a mom. Messy hair, smeared make-up if i even had time to put it on that day. snot, throw up, and god knows what else I'm wearing by the time i crawl into bed. I get so jealous of those moms that always have it all together. The skinny mom that looks like she has never been pregnant. Always wearing make up and having her hair fixed. Follow a budget and a schedule.. i want to be that mom but I'm not. I am a mess. I smell pretty bad right now. I know i should get up and shower but that takes effort that i just don't have. He fell asleep on my face. Cayson has been peacefully asleep for a while he has a smile on his face.. maybe i was good enough today. Does every mom feel like this at the end of the night?  My house is a mess and I am laying here thinking of
