My guest this week is Joe Cohen, CEO of SelfDecode
In this episode, Joe and I discuss his journey to find a cure for his own chronic health issues and how that spurred his interest in genetic testing. We discuss what to look for when choosing a genetic test, how to use it effectively and how not to use it. We talk about how he and his team created one of the most advanced AI’s when it comes to analyzing genetic data and how he built the amazing team that he has. SelfDecode offers complete genetic testing and the ability to plug in raw data if you have already had the testing done elsewhere. There are some things to be wary of when it comes to some DNA testing companies so we appreciate Joe’s coaching on that.

DrinkHRW.com To get the most out of any therapy it is crucial to address the foundations of health. Molecular Hydrogen addresses these foundations through its ability to help to manage reactive oxygen species (ROS), inflammation and improve metabolic balance. I drink molecular hydrogen water every morning before anything else and have my clients do the same. Anecdotally we have seen improvements in blood sugar control, pain from arthritis and even cognitive function in a Parkinson’s patient. Ongoing research is demonstrating the many ways that molecular hydrogen can support human health.
