What if your blood could reveal the future of your health - years before symptoms ever appear?

In this episode of Eye on AI, Craig Smith sits down with Ash Anwar, co-founder of Molecular You, to explore how AI and advanced biomarker analysis are transforming how we detect and prevent disease. 

From a real-life case where stage 1 pancreatic cancer was caught early, to the science behind tracking 250+ dynamic biomarkers, Ash breaks down how Molecular You is shifting healthcare from reactive treatment to proactive longevity. 

They dive into the limitations of genetic testing, the power of machine learning models trained on clinical data, and how personalized action plans are helping individuals take control of their health in real time. 

If you're curious about the intersection of AI, diagnostics, and the future of preventive medicine—this is a conversation you won't want to miss.
