What if your smartwatch could detect illness four days before you feel symptoms? Dr. Michael Snyder, Stanford's pioneering geneticist and father of deep data profiling, has turned this science fiction into reality. And his groundbreaking work measures 135,000 biological markers compared to the mere 15 tests done in a typical doctor's visit.

In this mind-boggling conversation with Méline, Dr. Snyder shares how he discovered his own diabetes through genomic sequencing and continuous monitoring, catching it well before any doctor would have. His research reveals that we spend 11-15 years of our lives in poor health, but emerging technologies could change everything.

Most fascinating of all? Only 16% of your lifespan depends on genetics - the rest is lifestyle. Dr. Snyder's lab has proven that smartwatches can detect Covid with 80% accuracy, often days before symptoms appear, and that continuous glucose monitors will transform how you eat forever.
