Summary
Dr. Lee is a pioneer in using cutting-edge technology to provide preventative healthcare. In this conversation we cover the science of genetics, the current state of research, where it's helpful, where it's not helpful, what we all need to know, and what we all need to watch out for. Juliet and Kelly have both had their DNA analyzed and seen Dr. Lee as patients, so we are able to get into specific examples of what can be learned and acted on, and whether they found it useful.

| 0:13.9 | And this is the Ready State. |
| 0:22.1 | Hey guys, Kelly and I'm Kelly and I. You got it. You've got it. You've got it. |
| 0:23.2 | Hey guys. |
| 0:24.7 | Kelly and I wanted to get an expert take on the current state of genetics, research, and science, |
| 0:28.5 | given the growing number of DNA testing products and marketing around them. |
| 0:31.8 | So we invited one of our favorite physicians, Dr. Richard Lee, over, for a conversation. |
| 0:36.2 | He's a family practice physician at Stanford. |
| 0:38.3 | What's interesting right now is that there are a lot of information coming out of the genetic realm. |
| 0:43.3 | Like we have this brand new, it's a nascent technology, understanding your own personal genomics. |
| 0:48.3 | You know, I mean, it's incredible, right? |
| 0:50.3 | Yeah, you can get tons of information. |
| 0:52.3 | I mean, companies like Habit, we got 23 and Me, we can really peel back and understand sort of this nurture nature dialogue. But what do I do with that information besides find out where my ancestors are from? You can get all this information, but there's no one out there to interpret it. What was amazing about the first time we met with Dr. Lee when he had his first company called |
| 1:11.2 | Gene Solve. It was one of the first times we'd seen a physician do a big subjective interview, |
| 1:17.7 | do a genetic test and a blood panel, and really integrate those things, where we could actually |
| 1:21.8 | take hard steps that impacted our quality of life and performance. Right. He took all this |
| 1:26.6 | information and gave us actionable things to do that really changed our health. |
| 1:30.3 | This was a, you know, we have become big fans of actionable genetics and nutrigenomics, |
| 1:36.2 | and this was the entree in. |
| 1:38.1 | We're excited to bring this conversation to you guys. |
| 1:41.1 | Here we are. |
