Microbiome, Genes, and Disease: Connecting the Dots for a Healthier Future with Naveen Jain

Gutsy Health | Nutrition and Medicine

Show Summary:

“Our DNA doesn’t determine our destiny when it comes to disease. Instead, it's how our genes are expressed that influences our well-being. By understanding this dynamic process and caring for our microbiome, we can shape our own path to a healthier life.”

Over the years, the medical-healthcare industrial field has studied molecular phenomena to manage and treat chronic diseases to improve our health.

But what if we shifted our focus toward prevention through a comprehensive and systems biology approach? Picture a life where you not only live disease-free but also experience vibrant health, joy, and overall well-being.

We are so thrilled to have a very special guest, Naveen Jain, the visionary founder, and CEO of Viome. In this episode, we go beyond discussing the heart, mind, and soul, and explore the fascinating relationship between our microbiome, gene expression, and how understanding them better can help prevent diseases.
