About this episode
Today, a dear friend of the show and someone who's disrupted a huge part of the healthcare industry joins us for an informative chat on the critically important oral microbiome—and from a wider perspective—how and why the human body gets sick. Naveen Jain, founder of Viome—a data company that’s changing the world of health and wellness—goes deep on the latest in anti-aging, what's going on in your mouth and how that affects everything else in your body, the perils of mouthwash, the future of AI-powered analytics, business building with the right priorities in mind, and a whole lot more. And it all comes right back to the base definition, the core understanding, of what biohacking is—using the information and technology around us to live a longer and healthier life. Naveen’s company, Viome, is doing just that. You won’t want to miss this exclusive look into the future—for your own long-term health, or for that of society as a whole. 00:01:44 — What Is It About the Human Body That Causes Us To Be Sick? • Fundamentally changing the way we look at the body • Dave’s homemade mouthwash and why he stopped using it • Power of individuality when it comes to health and longevity • Different impacts of foods on identical twins ( Research ) • What happens in the gut, starts in the mouth • The signals chewing your food sends to your body • Why a healthy oral microbiome means healthy sex 00:09:33 — Viome: Supercharging Human Data Analytics • Reading out the transcript from your body • Determining a diet-based source of bad breath • Viome’s biomarkers and aging score • Looking at RNA va.
