Joe Cohen, founder of SelfDecode, used genetic testing to biohack his way back to health when he couldn't find answers from traditional medicine. He shares the importance of understanding your genetics to create a personal plan that gives you the greatest results with the least amount of effort. We also dive into Th1 vs Th2 balance, lectin sensitivity, the pros and cons of a plant-based diet, and the risk assessment tool he created for learning your viral risk.
