In this episode of Death Clock, Brent sits down with Dr. Michael Snyder, a Stanford geneticist and leader in precision health research, to explore how wearable technology and continuous biomarker tracking are changing the way we understand disease risk. Dr. Snyder explains how devices like smartwatches can detect early signs of infection, how continuous glucose monitors reveal individual metabolic responses to food, and why dense, longitudinal data may allow us to catch illness long before symptoms appear. They also discuss the limits of consumer health tech, the risk of false positives, and how to think about data without becoming overwhelmed by it. He's a fascinating guest, hope you enjoy.
