“aging is just a disease" such a great quote! 👏🏻

[@carolarmstrong4156]

I was a dental hygienist for 32 years when I saw the connection before science is now proving it. The value of our mouth function and health should have always been on the High Priority list. It’s important to recognize and join mouth health totally included with health insurance coverage.

[@organizer14]

Thank you all for your courageous and important contributions!

[@sandybayes]

Finally, the tip of the iceberg is beginning to emerge in actually treating and preventing disease by not only examining biological data but also using that data to guide us in treating what is discovered. Thank you for helping to give widespread attention to this realistic and systematic approach to maximizing healthy longevity.

[@bvssrsguntur6338]

Apt observation

[@winnersofchampions]

I love Naveen’s enthusiasm about what he’s doing. His one pointed focus towards his goals of healing humans of all diseases, is amazing. Naveen, can you please lose the EMF headphones though?😂

[@romeolives1027]

Epic and fire conversation!

[@doreeneclose6295]

I can't wait to have a computer, rather than a doctor, who types into the computer for the manic 15 minutes we get in an appointment. 😂😂

[@bvssrsguntur6338]

Totally agre

[@user-xv1nm2rt1w]

Thank you so much Peter for your inspiring and intellectually stimulating videos and your immense contribution towards the advancement of humanity. Your books and videos have impacted me a lot. Kudos sir, looking forward to meeting you my mentor in person soon.

[@trojanthedog]

They say if you want to be fit hang out with fit people. Feel and think younger hang out with younger people. Longivity seeking people should form clubs and organisations where they can develop communities.

34:52 What IF... everyone can also get an app connected with our "biological model data" and scan ingredients and product labels to Tell us if good or not for any of us individually. (NEXT step. Can tell if good for your family. Having also the biological model of other family members, recorded inside) This will be a game changer. Also, other applications can go together, like tailored recepies, etc

[@organizer14]

Awesome! Thank you for sharing! How to collaborate with you to add another dimension as well?

[@TheisBrandon]

Fantastic

[@jo2joyful]

In addition to using food as medicine, what about using nature as medicine. And assimilating nature as fully, reverently, and joyfully as possible. Especially because it's free and available to all.

[@McTaz343]

Wondering how this (viome) program compares with the lifeforce program (I am currently engaged with LF - so the question is (I think) replace or augment

[@elvaroy5448]

Peter, I enjoy your Moonshots podcasts. I'm certain that I'm not the first to say that it bugs me when you say a URL and you say "backslash" when you mean a "forwars slash" or just "slash." Minor thing.

[@Tracey66]

I didn’t realize this was a hour and a half ad for the Viome company. 😢

[@sandybayes]

My hope is that costs for this approach to wellness can be made affordable to people until insurance companies adopt this method for health care.

[@xrpcryptonaire6712]

I wholeheartedly agree. I've followed a vegan diet, and I've observed nutritional deficiencies in others who adopt extreme diets including the vegan diet. While excessive consumption of red meat can be problematic, it's crucial to focus on the quantity of foods. Additionally, an often overlooked consideration is the potential impact of blood types and individual coagulation responses to different foods for people with various blood types.

[@sandybayes]

I believe that the concept of blood types for food selection has been disproven. Our bodies are so much more complex.

[@mikestormmagic]

I used Viome twice and meh, it just didn't work for my gut or me. I'm sure it's improved now, hopefully!

[@No2AI]

AI is going to be a double edged sword …. No free rides .

[@Sci-Que]

I went online and asked Bard to do a consumer report eval. Below is what Bard Returned. Pros: Can provide personalized insights into your gut microbiome May help you to identify potential health problems May help you to make informed decisions about your diet and lifestyle Cons: Results can be inaccurate or misleading Services can be expensive Customer service has been criticized That said, I know some people will complain no matter what, and I very much like what I heard here.

[@biancaleva]

I'm telling my wife STOP smoking, she ended up with triple bypass and she is still smoking. Will she listen to AI? Will food industry start making healty food?

[@seans4893]

100% ideology, 0% evidence. But its ok to dream once in a while.

[@GingerPeacenik]

Sure, yeah, right...right after they CAUSE IT!

[@rigaleb]

Isn't this exaggerated personalization makes you incapable of adaptation to the environment? I mean, it's good for various diseases, but to personalize everything sounds a little bit like the social media echo chambers.

[@antoniobortoni]

Compassion give you more and more, is technology love, the care and love of your mother better and more intelligent that will make better children, more strong, more healthy, the idea that disease make you strong is stupid, its like hard environment will make you better, the truth is loving good environment is really good, personalise medicine should be way better than mediocre medicine...

[@rigaleb]

@@antoniobortoni i totally agree that we shouldpersonalize treatments and avoid toxins. But there also has to be a balance between adaptability and confort. NOT DISEASE! BUT ADAPTABILITY.

[@faza553]

MEDICAL SERVICES ≠ healthcare

[@antoniobortoni]

Bravo, about food compasion is the way, rats in citys have a bigger brain and more complicated social life than rats in the fields, because they eat cook food, in a few generation of rats life their brain get bigger, we humans did the same, wen we started eating good cook food easy to digest our ancestors brains get bigger by only few generations, we can do the same again nutrition update 2.0, really good cook food plus supplements and some control in a few generations we could become even more powerful brains society..... evolve depends of circumstances, good circumstance and good challenges and the brain and body evolve like crazy even in one live generation, the best sport for the brain and health is ping pong, plus good difficult education, plus yoga and meditation and you will see the benefits in the first days, is powerful, are the best practice for health, plus fasting, so any country or company that promote that will have a REALLY BIG economic rise, if i have to much bigger companies i would do a test and make obligatory to my workers jajaj fasting, yoga, meditation, ping pong, good food, supplements and make close look at their health to see if make me more money, i am sure it will make ton of money. You can evolve in years...

[@WattisWatts]

That intro sounds like a silly infomercial.
