This is trend following radio, where great thinking comes alive.

Nobel Prize winners, legendary traders, bestselling authors, and the pros that know what drive us irrational human beings.

I am your host, Michael Cobell, not filtered, raw, honest.

That's my passion.

My guest today is a biologist, entrepreneur, and inventor.

His invention led to the automated DNA sequencer.

This was the enabling technology for the Human Genome Project.

My guest today is Lee Hood, and we discuss a wide-ranging topic centered around the age of scientific

wellness. A young man of only age 84, and as we learn, a biological age of 15 years younger,

Lee has had a diverse and interesting life to get to the point where he wants us all to think about

health care in a completely different way. Look, health care comes down to us, our DNA, our genome,

it comes down to our phenome, our environment, all the forces coming down on us.

If we can measure all of this in a very detailed level, our health care, our lifespan, it all changes.

Without any further delay, let's jump right into my conversation today with Lee Hood.

Let me jump in, Lee, with my rudimentary basic understanding, and then we can open it up to you and you can kind of lay out your big picture.

Because I think this is one of those episodes where someone in your position, someone with your experience really just needs to lay it out from the outset.

But for me, as a rank amateur, I see, okay, we have our

genome. You've been involved in that world for a long time, the building block of life, us.

Then we have our phaenome, which is us interacting with our environment, all the things around us.

And then ultimately, if we're looking at these issues, we can start to

think about a digital measurement of it all. And if we can allow ourselves to connect those three,

you see an opportunity for health care that's never been imagined yet or we've not executed yet in the course of human history.
