Your DNA is not your only story. Genomics based Medicine with Wild Health

In most cases, your genes have less than five per cent to do with your risk of developing a particular disease, in fact the vast majority of diseases, including many cancers, diabetes, and Alzheimer's disease, have a genetic contribution of 5 to 10 per cent at best.
To learn more about this I brough Dr Mike Malin and Dr Mike Stone from Wild Health on the podcast today to talk about all genomics based medicine. At Wild Health, they combine an in-depth genetic analysis with extensive blood work and a lifestyle assessment to provide you with a fully comprehensive picture of your health like you’ve never seen it before. You’ll receive a 50+ page report covering everything from your optimal diet, exercise and supplement routine to your risks of chronic disease and prevention strategies.
You also get paired with a dedicated doctor and health coach who will help you understand and apply the biggest opportunities for maximizing your health.
What I personally love is that they focus on brain health too - everything from dementia & Alzheimer's risk to overall inflammation.

They even look at specific genes around your circadian rhythm to help you optimize a sleep routine.
