Genetic Potential for Health and Performance

I’ve had a natural curiosity about how genetics can influence our health, fitness, and even our sleep patterns. From 23andMe to Ancestry.com results years ago, it’s been an eye-opening journey—especially with my background in public health and nutrition—learning how something as personal as our DNA, and now RNA (courtesy of Naveen Jain), can guide us toward optimal performance and longevity.

1. Muscle Composition: The Gift of Elite Power Genetics

Let me start with one of the more entertaining aspects of my 23andMe results. Apparently, my muscle composition is on par with elite power athletes.

2. Sleep Patterns: Wake Up, Like Clockwork

Another fascinating tidbit is how accurate my sleep data was. According to my results, I’m likely to wake up around 8:09 AM, which is spot on for me. It just goes to show how much of our daily rhythms and habits are influenced by our genetics.

3. Alzheimer’s Risk: Awareness Through DNA

On a more serious note, I discovered that I carry one copy of the APOE4 gene, which slightly increases my risk of developing Alzheimer’s later in life. Given my family history, this was a relief—it could have been worse—but it was also a wake-up call. This is where Naveen Jain's connection to RNA comes in. He explains in his book, The Youth Forumla, that while our DNA doesn’t change, how our genes are expressed (via RNA) can fluctuate depending on lifestyle factors like diet, exercise, and gut health. This revelation was deeply personal and underscored the importance of understanding not just genetics but also gene expression.

4. Why I’m So Into This: Enter Naveen Jain’s Work

My fascination with DNA and now RNA testing aligns perfectly with what Naveen Jain is doing with Viome, a company using cutting-edge science to provide personalized health insights. Naveen's book, The Youth Formula: Outsmart Your Genes and Unlock the Secret to Longevity, just came out, and it’s packed with insights on how gene expression determines our health outcomes. The real kicker? It’s not about what genes you have—it’s about what triggers them and how we can control that.

If you're like me, curious about how this applies to your health, Naveen Jain will be speaking live with Shanee Moret in an interview that you won’t want to miss. They’ll discuss how RNA is the future of personalized health, and yes, I’m planning to pick up a Viome kit during Black Friday to dive even deeper into my own data.

5. The Big Picture

For me, this isn’t just about satisfying my curiosity. It’s about taking proactive steps toward understanding how my body works and making lifestyle choices that optimize my health and performance. The science behind personalized nutrition and health has never been more accessible, and I’m excited to be on this journey.

Stay tuned as I continue to explore how these genetic insights shape my health journey, and let’s see what I uncover next with Viome!
