What the Most Measured Human Can Teach Us About Health
Dr. Michael Snyder of Stanford may be the most measured person in the world. He joins hosts Momo Vuyisich, PhD and Guru Banavar, PhD to explore what deep, continuous data reveals about our health — how he predicted his own diabetes, why microbial activity beats a list of microbes, how wearables can flag trouble before symptoms, and what a future of at-home measurement could look like. Plus food, h
Gut Health PRO
Your gastroenterologist can spot a polyp, but what about the bloating, pain, and irregularity that fill most GI visits? Hosts Momo Vuyisich and Guru Banavar talk with gastroenterologist Dr. Michael Bass about Viome's Gut Health Pro: why measuring microbial activity (not just which bacteria are present) reveals what's actually driving symptoms, how food modulates the gut, and what the science says
The Future of Medicine is AI
Entrepreneur and investor Vinod Khosla (co-founder of Sun Microsystems, founder of Khosla Ventures) joins Momo and Guru to explore how AI is reshaping medicine. Learn why expert medical knowledge is now nearly free, how daily engagement drives preventive health, why many supplement studies mislead, how AI reads molecular and microbiome data at scale, and what regulation and reimbursement must chan
Preventative Lifestyle Medicine
In this episode, Momo and Guru welcome Dr. Dawn Mussallem, who shares her inspiring journey from heart transplant patient to leading preventive medicine advocate, and her passion for health and longevity. Together, they explore cutting-edge diagnostics, personalized nutrition, and celebrate the power of resilience.Find out more about Viome and Viome Life Sciences at https://www.viome.com/ and http
Translating Microbiome Science to Precision Nutrition

Discover how complex molecular data translates into practical dietary advice tailored to your unique biology.
Gas Production!
Join Momo and Guru as they explore the fascinating world of gut microbiome, gas production, and their impact on health with experts Dr. Eric Patridge and Dr. Matthew Molusky. Learn how bioinformatics, molecular science, and personalized nutrition converge to reveal insights into gut health and disease prevention.
From Poop to Data: Understanding the Language of Microbes
Discover how Viome's RNA sequencing and bioinformatics turn microbiome data into personalized health insights and wellness breakthroughs.
Why "Healthy" Foods Spike Your Sugar
In today's episode, Momo and Guru explore a vital question: Why do different foods affect blood sugar levels differently in people? This topic is crucial for anyone interested in personalized nutrition, as understanding your unique biological response can significantly impact your metabolic health.Guests:Damon Tanton, MD Medical Director of Clinical Practice AdventHealth Diabetes InstituteEric Pat
DNA is Not Your Destiny!
Your DNA isn't your destiny — RNA is. Two PhDs unpack gene expression, microbiome science, and what your body is actually doing right now.
Your Microbiome is Your Best Friend
Explore the fascinating world of the human microbiome, its functions, and its impact on health with experts Momo and Guru. Discover how microbes influence everything from vitamin production to immune response and how to optimize your microbiome for better health.
Are There Universal Superfoods?
Momo & Guru argue no food is universally healthy — your microbiome determines how you respond to even the most celebrated superfoods.
Biology sets the table; AI serves the meal
Momo and Guru introduce the science behind personalized health, explaining how biology, the microbiome, and AI can help move us from one-size-fits-all medicine to truly individualized nutrition and prevention.
