#56 Naveen Jain on Taking Control of Your Gut Health
b'
When it comes to improving your health, focusing on whole, natural foods is, of course, better for everyone. However, there is no such thing as universally healthy food. The truth is food affects different bodies differently. What\\u2019s good for me, could be causing problems for you, and visa versa. By understanding your personal gut health, you can be the one in control of whether or not you get sick.
WELCOME TO THE DARIN OLIEN SHOW.
I\\u2019m Darin Olien, the \\u201csuperfood hunter.\\u201d On this podcast, you\\u2019ll hear honest conversations with extraordinary people that inspire me. I hope that through their knowledge and unique perspectives, they\\u2019ll inspire you, too.
Although our ideas and approaches to life may differ, our ultimate goal is the same. We want to save the planet. So we\\u2019re going to try, one conversation at a time. If you\\u2019re interested in expanding your view of the world while learning new angles on health and nutrition, you\\u2019re at the right place.
Naveen Jain wants to change the world by putting you in control of your gut health.
Naveen is an entrepreneur driven by the desire to make the world a better place. Every single one of the seven companies he\\u2019s founded was created for that purpose. His latest venture, Viome, is a uniquely designed biology company set on \\u201cmaking illness optional.\\u201d By ordering a test kit from Viome, you\\u2019re able to learn key information about your gut health that will change your whole approach to preventing disease. Each personalized test measures your overall gut health by measuring your gut microbiome, mitochondria, and immune cell function. Your test results provide you precise nutritional recommendations geared to change the trajectory of your health.
In this episode, Naveen breaks down why it\\u2019s so incredibly important to individualize nutrition. He, like me, is a huge believer in food as medicine. However, he knows that diet is not a one size fits all kind of thing. We have to understand our own biological make-up to know what kinds of foods work best for our bodies.
I really hope you all pay close attention to this episode and consider ordering your own test. No, Naveen isn\\u2019t a doctor. He\\u2019s what he calls an \\u201coutsider\\u201d to the medical-industrial complex. But with the help of experts all over the world, he\\u2019s developed this amazing company, and this amazing way to help us all take control of our own health.
