What if chronic disease isn’t a breakdown, but a biological response to the world we’ve built? In this episode of The Healthy Brain Toolbox, I sit down with Dr. Howard Urnovitz to explore personalized evolution, how environmental pressures shape our DNA, and why ancient viral remnants in our genome may influence immunity, brain function, and disease risk.

We challenge conventional thinking—from germs to AI-driven genomic insights—and explore a bold new approach to brain health and preventative medicine.

Key Takeaways

• Personalized evolution: Why your DNA is adapting in real time
• How pollution, pesticides, and pathogens are flipping genetic switches
• The myth of junk DNA and what it’s really doing
• Why chronic illness may be your genome’s SOS signal
• The revolutionary RNA test that could change diagnostics forever
• How AI is decoding the chaos of our genetic operating system
• The surprising link between long COVID and neurodegenerative diseases
• What “Don’t Anger the Ancients” really means
