In this episode, I'm joined by entrepreneur and founder and CEO of Viome Life Sciences, Naveen Jain. Ultimately, who we are all comes down to one thing: our microbiome. By showing us how everything about our health from our DNA to our brain function hinges on the health of our gut microbiome, we can begin taking steps to reclaim the health we deserve. From the origins of our microbiome, choosing the right probiotics, understanding lab work, and the top things that disrupt your gut, this episode is your go-to guide for all things microbiome health.

Naveen Jain is a serial entrepreneur and philanthropist on a mission to solve the world's biggest challenges through innovation. He turns big dreams into action, spurring massive cultural and technological change. Jain is CEO and Founder of Viome Life Sciences, a global healthcare company on a mission to make chronic illness optional, and Founder of Moon Express, the only company with permission to harvest resources from the moon. As a sought after thought leader, he has received various industry-praised accolades including Fast Company’s Most Creative Person and Ernst & Young’s Entrepreneur of the Year.
