The general take
Sean Kelly found 23andMe useful for discovering health risk information—specifically learning he carried the Alzheimer's gene (APOE4) from his father—though the discovery was frightening to receive at age 18. He takes the genetic health data seriously enough that it influences how he approaches brain health overall.

…discussing genetic testing for alzheimer's risk and apoe4 gene carrier status
“I take brain health super serious because I have the Alzheimer's gene from my father. You have APOE4? Yeah. I remember taking that 23andMe test, I believe. So that scared me when I was 18 years old.”
