A biochemist and a bodybuilder walk into a bar…

We’re all trying to optimize our health by eating clean, working out, and implementing certain bio hacks, but how precise are you in your attempts? Dr. Anthony Jay thinks you can get really specific by looking at your DNA and analyzing what your genes say.

Dr. Anthony Jay started out as a “virus designer”. He would make viruses in a lab to help transport DNA into certain cells. He now works at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota researching stem cells, epigenetics, and infrared light and is the President and CEO of AJ Consulting Company.

Learn how you can optimize your healthy by analyzing your DNA.

*DISCLAIMER: Dr. Jay's recommendations are based on Kris’s specific DNA results and not meant to be taken as truth for each and every person. To learn more about getting your own specific recommendations please reach out to Dr. Jay.
