YouTube Description
as posted by the channelIs chronic disease really genetic — or is it mostly environmental?
In this episode, we sit down with the Founding CTO of Viome to break down how RNA, the microbiome, and AI are reshaping how we understand health, aging, and disease prevention.
We explore why DNA only tells part of the story — and why RNA (gene expression) is the real-time signal that shows what’s actually happening inside your body. From gut health and oral bacteria to biological age and personalized nutrition, this conversation reveals how modern science can detect disease years before symptoms appear.

🌱 Which diets are associated with slower biological aging
🧪 How AI analyzes 10,000+ biomarkers per person
⚠️ Why environment beats genetics in most chronic disease
