In this episode, my guest is Dr. Patrick Arnott, Ph.D., the Business Development Director at Metabolon, Inc. We delve into his remarkable career journey, emphasising the transformative influence of effective mentorship, embracing calculated risks, and remaining receptive to career transitions. Additionally, Dr. Arnott sheds light on the pivotal and groundbreaking work underway at Metabolon. This conversation promises to captivate a broad audience, as it unravels the intricate web of factors impacting our health – encompassing genetics, the microbiome, diseases, and lifestyle choices – all of which shape our well-being by modulating metabolite levels within the body and other biological systems. This ought to be of interest to all, as almost every factor that affects health – from genetics and the microbiome to disease and lifestyle – exerts its influence by altering metabolite levels in the body or other biological system.
