Naveen Jain joins us on the podcast to discuss how he is disrupting the health and supplement industry by taking a highly personalized approach, the importance of our gut health on our genes, understanding our DNA and genes, what his vision of our future health is, and more. David also shares his experience using Naveen's company, Viome, to better understand the foods he should stay away from and the foods he should eat more of for better gut health.

“Just like you tune your car once a year, you’ve got to tune your body at least a couple of times a year, or your body will give you the signal that something is not right.”
“We have come to the belief that as we get old, there are certain diseases that just happen. There are whales that live to be 400-500 years old. They are mammals. There’s nothing in the mammalian architecture that says we must die at an endpoint.”
“My dad at 63? He thought that was old. Me at 63? I’m thinking ‘Holy shit, I’ve barely started!’”
