In this episode, Mikki speaks with Professor Michael Snyder, Chair of Genetics at Stanford University and a global leader in personalised medicine. They explore how our genes, gut microbiome, and lifestyle choices interact to shape metabolic health—and why we all respond so differently to the same foods. Mike shares insights from his groundbreaking research using wearables and genomics to track health in real time, the future of personalised nutrition, and how continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) can help anyone understand their body better. They also discuss the link between viral infections and diabetes, why strength training matters more than you think, and how food truly functions as medicine.
Highlights:
- The genetics of metabolic individuality and why “one-size-fits-all” diets don’t work
- How CGMs reveal surprising glucose spikes and help improve long-term health
- The microbiome’s crucial role in metabolism and disease risk
- Subtypes of diabetes and what they mean for treatment and lifestyle
- Why Professor Snyder believes health tracking is the future of preventive medicine
