67: Than Our Genes: Understanding Autoimmune Risk with Genetic Counselor Amber Sher

67: Than Our Genes: Understanding Autoimmune Risk with Genetic Counselor Amber Sher

Are we defined by our genes—or are we more than what we inherit?

In this episode of Autoimmune Adventures, we sit down with Amber Sher, certified genetic counselor and host of the podcast Gods and Genes, to explore the role genetics play in autoimmune disease and comorbidities—without fear, shame, or oversimplification.

We talk about:

  • What genetic susceptibility really means (and why it’s not inevitability)

  • Why autoimmune diseases often cluster in families

  • How healthcare providers can compassionately address parent guilt around genetics

  • Why we are more than our DNA—and how understanding genetics can be empowering, not paralyzing

Amber brings clarity, compassion, and hope to conversations that are often filled with confusion or fear, reminding us that genetics may shape the hand we’re dealt—but they don’t determine how we play the game.

🎙️ Episode release date: January 13
