Thank you so much for sharing!
This is fun!
In France there is both Michelle and Michèle but the latter is according to the orthographic rules 😊 So; good for you! It's a pain typing I think but I learned the shortcuts for accents, a French keyboard to me is pure torture. I prefer using the shortcuts since I don't have to use the accents all the time.
My family is very mixed as well, I have French, Dutch, Spanish, Norwegian, and Arabic blood in my veins. I consider myself European and not attached to any particular country or state. I also embrace and celebrate differences. How wonderful to all be so different. There once was a song where they sang 'Free your mind, the rest will follow, be colourblind, don't be so shallow'. I would blare along but could not bear singing it all, I would replace it with 'don't be colourblind' 😹 I wanna see all colours!
Escoffier! Wow, yes, that's a nice extra to have up your sleeve 💖
I would really like to have my DNA tested.
You mention 23AndMe, this would be the best, you think? I heard about others as well and am still thinking about it, also because of the costs I would need to do this right in one go!

I mentioned 23 and Me only because that's the one that came to mind. I think my husband bought us a couple of those kits; however, at the time I had just learned that the info may be shared and used against us by insurance companies. True of all DNA testing, I believe. Have no idea what my husband has done with those unused kits.
Bear in mind, after concerns were expressed by customers, they may have changed their policies re: privacy. After all, here in the USA we have this thing called HIPPA.
Well, you're quite a mix! I am self-described as tri racial. Others would consider me Eurasian. However, in Asia many cultures do not consider Filipinos true Asians. To their mind, true Asians include Chinese, Japanese, Koreans. Redskins include all of the native Americans. So, according to "true" yellow Asians, I have some brownskin in me, too, from those islands.
If you determine the best DNA sample kit, by all means, please share!
Many of us who suffer with certain diseases (in my case cutaneous mastocytosis which has escalated to MCAS-GI) have specialists who submit DNA samples, blood samples, bone marrow biopsies to look for specific genes to confirm the diagnosis or determine the best treatment protocols.
Oops! Just noticed this thread is about EXERCISE! Going to start another comment that is "on topic."
