In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Matthew Dawson, the founder and CEO of Wild Health, and leader in genomics-based precision medicine. Dr. Matt breaks down what precision medicine truly means--how it goes beyond traditional healthcare to create highly personalized plans based on your unique genetic blueprint and blood work. We explore some of the most important genes to assess for optimizing health, performance, and longevity, including the ApoE gene. He shares powerful insights into the future of medicine and why understanding your genetics is crucial for extending healthspan. Plus, we open up about our own personal Wild Health test results and how they've shaped our individual wellness journey. This conversation is packed with actionable insights you won't want to miss!
