Dr. Matt Dawson is the CEO and co-founder of Wild Health- a refined medical service providing personalized, genetics-based care. Dr. Dawson’s curiosity surrounding the role of genetics first peaked when he watched a friend adopt a personalized treatment plan for chronic disease and heal much more effectively than he had when following a generalized treatment protocol. It was fun to review parts of my genetic test results with Dr. Dawson in this episode along with discussing the insight genetic testing offers into one’s understanding of their unique physiology. 

WHAT WE DISCUSSED: 

[8:28]- What led Dr. Dawson to pursue longevity medicine?

[12:21]- What are genetic SNPs?

[15:43]- How can genetic testing be used to personalize someone’s dietary approach?

[26:58]- According to Dr. Dawson, how can one elevate their healthspan? Does a calorie deficit have the potential to increase one’s lifetime? 

[39:25]- What is the root cause of high morning blood sugar? 

[44:37]- What is the process of working with Wild Health?
