All-American football star, 1st Round NFL Draft pick and Co-Host of 2 Pros and a Cup of Joe, LaVar Arrington shares the journey he took learning about his ancestry and health. All it took was a little spit and after submitting a DNA sample kit to 23AndMe, both LaVar and his producer Lee DeLapp received reports that unveiled a treasure trove of information.
Being a mentor and coach to young athletes, LaVar explains how valuable this information is in giving an advantage on and off the field. Whether it's how to optimize your nutrition, better understand your sleeping cycle or learning about health predispositions, information garnered from 23AndMe reports helps with all that.
