Momo Vujicic's Journey and Personal Insights
Momo Vujicic shares his journey into the world of health and science, shaped by his own experience with an autoimmune disease that he could not diagnose for years. His academic background in biochemistry and microbiology led him to investigate the impact of diet on his condition, ultimately discovering that a particular sugar, Neu5GC, found in mammalian food products was a contributing factor. By eliminating such foods from his diet, he experienced a complete recovery within a year, leading to a newfound passion for understanding chronic diseases. This personal struggle fueled his disillusionment with traditional pharma and academia, prompting him to seek innovative solutions for chronic illnesses through Viome, a company he helped co-found to address these issues directly.
