Summary
Viome sponsored this episode.
IN THIS EPISODE OF THE HUMAN UPGRADE™… entrepreneur and philanthropist Naveen Jain joins the show in person at the Beverly Hilton to talk about new developments in the human biome—particularly the oral microbiome. Turns out, there may be more density in your gut microbiome, but there’s more diversity in your oral microbiome.
Naveen’s company, Viome, built an AI-driven platform that analyzes the interaction between food, your body’s biomes, and your cells from at-home tests. Your results are used to develop precise ways of eating and taking supplements that prevent and can even help reverse chronic disease. They’ve so far collected 425,000 samples showing 600 trillion data points.
The newest Viome test kit takes a look at your oral health.
Viome prepares custom supplements, probiotics and prebiotics with the exact ingredients in the exact dosages you need based on your personal test results. This customization is important because supplements are not universally healthy, more isn’t better, and consuming nutrients and biotics you don’t need can actually do more harm than good. Custom formulations work with and for your own physiology.
Viome testing also helps you see your personal health trends over time. Your tests could show different results at six months or a year. Then, your supplements would be adjusted to your changing physiology. Check out Viome’s at-home test kits:
- Oral Health Intelligence: coming soon!
- Full Body Intelligence (gut, cellular, oral health)
- Health Intelligence (gut, cellular health)
- Gut Intelligence (gut health)
- Cancer Detect (oral & throat)

| 0:04.3 | This episode is recorded live at the Beverly Hilton, which is my all-time favorite hotel |
| 0:11.4 | in LA where I hold the biohacking conference. |
| 0:14.6 | And I'm here in town on business, which gave me a chance to hook up with my good friend |
| 0:18.6 | Naveen Jane, who is CEO of Vile. |
| 0:22.4 | If you're new to the show, what is that? |

| 0:28.9 | about Vile and about Naveen. |
| 0:31.9 | He is a mentor and advisor for me, and I'm an advisor for Vile and an investor in Vile |
| 0:37.1 | so you know, full disclosure, I have an interest, but it's not going to change my life. |
| 0:41.1 | If you do or don't get a Vile test, it will probably change yours though, which is one |
| 0:44.9 | of the reasons we're talking. |
| 0:46.6 | But Vile is one of the preeminent biohacking companies. |
| 0:51.8 | The definition of biohacking when I wrote it is the art and science of changing the environment |
| 0:56.3 | around you and inside of you so that you have full control of your own biology. |
| 1:01.1 | Well, we just didn't know how to measure the environment inside us, which is where Vile |
| 1:05.8 | am started, and now it's getting into the environment around us even, like what's coming |
| 1:09.6 | in. |
| 1:10.6 | So, Naveen, it's been what, nine years or something? |
| 1:15.2 | I think more like seven, but who's counting? |
| 1:17.3 | So it's been seven years that the before time has always kind of muddled up in me. |
| 1:20.8 | I'm all about the future, so are you, but you're better at counting the past than I am |
