			<description><![CDATA[<p>In this episode of Made to Be Whole, host Krista Michener shares key insights from attending the second annual conference of the Alzheimer’s Pathobiome Initiative (AlzPI). Krista explores the role of microbes and infections in Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia, emphasizing the power of interdisciplinary science and the impact of early intervention. Drawing from presentations by leading researchers and advocates, Krista highlights how understanding the complexity of infectious factors and chronic disease can empower patients, providers, and families alike.

			<description><![CDATA[<p>In this episode of <em>Made To Be Whole</em>, host Krista Michener shares her post-conference report from the Intellxx DNA Functional Genomics event. Dive deep into the world of functional genomics, genetic expression, and how personalized genomic insights can create a roadmap for both chronic illness prevention and complex healing. Krista explores how understanding your genetic vulnerabilities—especially in relation to chronic infections and neuropsychiatric symptoms—can empower you to make tailored health decisions. This episode is filled with case studies, practical provider insights, and a meaningful discussion on approaching health as an individualized journey toward wholeness.
