About a year ago, I did a genetic test. You've probably done one of these before,

too, you're spitting a little tube and sending it away in the mail. And they tell you where you're

from. And I learned that I am Scandinavian and from the Baltics and Irish and Scottish,

a little bit from Turkey in the Middle East. I wasn't aware of that. So it was pretty interesting

to learn for about 10 minutes. And then I thought, hmm, now what do I do? That's kind of genetic

testing 1.0. The 2.0 version is already available. And you can get this from a certain doctor,

specialized doctors. You can learn about your potential susceptibility to neurodegenerative illnesses,

your body's ability to detoxify your susceptibility to certain cancers. And a whole lot more

in the 3.0 version. Hopefully we'll start to be able to learn things about the way that nutrition

affects our unique body. I'm sure that you know somebody, if not personally, through social media,

who is just a fitness beast. I'm sure you've seen these people on social media who run

like 20 marathons in 20 days or I think there's somebody who's done 365 marathons and 365 days.

It just seems impossible, like physically impossible, like their knees would literally turn

to sand. And people will often refer to these people as genetic freaks. And freaks is probably

an extreme word, but probably genetic anomalies to some extent. Yeah. And the question is,

are we all genetic anomalies? And the answer is yes. And some of us might have some really hidden

talents that we don't really know about. I get really excited about this nerdy data stuff. And I

especially get excited about when it will become cheaper and more accessible and maybe even something

we could get from our phone or our watch. On this week's show, we'll talk about nutrition and

genetics and genetic testing and where all of this is going. Hopefully. If you're new here,

it's the Lucas Rockwood show. I'm a yoga teacher, a teacher trainer. I'm a serial entrepreneur.

I'm the father of three kids, but first and foremost, I'm a student. So I like to learn things.
