There is so much that's happening now in the field of scientific wellness. There are so many bright and incredible people that are on this train, building all the different pieces of it. It's an exciting space to watch as this all emerges. In this episode we have a conversation with Dr. Nathan Price, the Chief Scientific Officer of Thorne HealthTech. He was previously Associate Director at the Institute of Systems Biology. Along with the founder of the ISB he has a new book called The Age of Scientific Wellness. We talk about how to intervene to achieve wellness without having to face the challenge of the relatively high toxicity profiles of current therapies. We also touch base on an approach to finding out which molecules or biomarkers are most important for identifying chronic diseases early without having to run a 20 year study and why it is important to focus on what patients care most about right now. The conversation then evolves in to a discussion about how to handle the complexity of decision that rapidly increases when you start considering things like genomic data. Nathan also explains how he has overcome interpersonal challenges in the past and the importance of looking after your wellness. He also highlights what Thorne Health Tech has been doing to take the 'ick' factor out of the personal testing of one's microbiome.
