What if your medications are working against you?

Jim Wallace, former CEO of DecisionRx and Author of "Precision Medicine: AI and the Science of Personalized Healthcare," joins CareTalk to expose the massive issue of medication misfires and how pharmacogenomics can help fix it.

From his time at SpaceX to leading innovation in personalized medicine, Jim explains why your DNA holds the key to safer, more effective care—and why you might not want to wait for your doctor or insurer to catch up.
