IN THIS EPISODE OF THE HUMAN UPGRADE...

Dave’s good friend, entrepreneur and philanthropist Naveen Jain, joins the show to talk about the future of human biology and wellness. What’s new right now, what’s emerging, and what’s on the horizon. He’s been a guest several times before (see the Links & Resources section below!) and there’s always something new to learn when he and Dave get together. This time, they explore testing the human biome.

Naveen’s a guy with enormous vision who builds companies and partners with others to tackle and solve the gnarliest problems affecting the health of our people and planet. 

He always encourages curiosity and big thinking: ““Curiosity is what drives the humanity forward. The day you stop being curious is the day you die.”

In this discussion, you’re going to learn ways innovation can change human biology from a micro and macro level—from your cellular health to broader planetary issues. You’ll also learn how you can test to find out what’s happening within your gut, cells and immune system. With that knowledge and personalized recommendations, you’ll have the power to change your health for the better.

Naveen founded, Viome, the worlds’ largest database of microbial gene expression. Its AI-driven personalized therapeutics platform and applications identifies predictive markers of chronic diseases. Viome does this by using a functional analysis of microbial, mitochondrial and human gene expression. “We actually see everything,” Naveen explains. “As long as an organism is alive, we see it. So whether it is a bacteria, virus, fungus, mold, it doesn't matter. We see everything.”

In particular, Viome’s Health Intelligence™ Test looks at:

  • gut microbiome
  • mitochondrial function
  • immune cell function
  • cellular health
  • stress response
  • biological age


The more data can inform what’s happening inside of you, the more resources you’ll have to improve your health.

More about Naveen Jain:

Naveen wrote the award-winning book, Moonshots: Creating a World of Abundance and created Mindvalley, Masterclass programs. He’s behind XPrize, a global future positive movement and is on the board of Singularity University
