Euan Ashley, a professor of genomics and cardiovascular medicine at Stanford, discusses the incredible effects of exercise on health. He explains how exercise acts as a powerful medical intervention, transforming our bodies at the molecular level. Ashley highlights gender differences in exercise benefits and the evolutionary history that shaped our physical activity. The conversation also touches on the tantalizing idea of an 'exercise pill' that could mimic workout benefits without sweating, pushing the boundaries of exercise science.

Professor Euan Ashley discusses the groundbreaking work in human genomics and the physiologic effects of exercise from the MoTrPAC initiative. Topics include rapid whole genome sequencing, the science of exercise, targeted drug development, biologic aging, long COVID fatigue, personalized exercise routines, customized training for athletes, and the impacts of extreme exercise on heart health.

Dr. Euan Ashley, a pioneer in genomic sequencing, discusses the use of precision medicine to predict, prevent, and diagnose diseases. Topics include his work with genome sequencing, advances in technology making sequencing cost-effective, the transformation of healthcare with pathogenic labels, the Undiagnosed Disease Network, and the benefits of exercise. Euan is a professor of medicine and genetics at Stanford University and author of The Genome Odyssey.
