Today, a dear friend of the show and someone who's disrupted a huge part of the healthcare industry joins us for an informative chat on the critically important oral microbiome—and from a wider perspective—how and why the human body gets sick. 

Naveen Jain, founder of Viome—a data company that’s changing the world of health and wellness—goes deep on the latest in anti-aging, what's going on in your mouth and how that affects everything else in your body, the perils of mouthwash, the future of AI-powered analytics, business building with the right priorities in mind, and a whole lot more.

Naveen’s company, Viome, is doing just that. You won’t want to miss this exclusive look into the future—for your own long-term health, or for that of society as a whole.
