Summary
Did you know that scientists can look at your gut microbiome composition and tell with 90% accuracy if you are obese or lean? Scientists have also discovered that certain gut microbes help shape your body and keep obesity at bay — which means if you're having trouble losing weight, your microbiome could be the culprit. This will be a two-part interview with Viome CEO, Naveen Jain. Naveen is an entrepreneur and philanthropist driven to solve the world's biggest challenges through innovation. In today's Part 1 episode, Chalene and Naveen discuss the huge importance the gut microbiome plays on our overall health. Plus, Mr. Jain informs us of a test anyone can take that can predict the future of your overall health in regard to nearly every chronic disease so many suffer from.

| 0:00.0 | Hi, Chilin. This is Nidia. And I just wanted to share with you something very important to me, something very special |
| 0:08.5 | that resonated with me when I was listening to one of your podcast episodes today. I'm a one-through |
| 0:16.3 | oneer and I fell in love with it and I've been doing it for a year already. But on this new face that I started, |
| 0:22.8 | my mom decided to do it with me. She went to the doctor today, all her blood work is in great |
| 0:29.6 | shape, blood pressure, everything. She lost 14 pounds. She has lost two sizes. Sadly, we didn't take any |
| 0:37.4 | pictures, but I just wanted to share this with you because she loves it. So I'm very excited and |
| 0:45.1 | I knew you needed to hear this. So thank you, Tim Johnson. Thank you, Chilin, for this great idea. It |
| 0:51.6 | changed my life and it's changing my mom's life. Thank you so much. |
| 0:57.1 | Yo, welcome to this edition of the Chilin Show. Get ready to have your mind blown. |
| 1:03.5 | Today, we're talking about your gut microbiome, your digestive system, and all the good guys and |

| 1:23.9 | been looking at is either DNA or 16S. But the technology we'll be talking about today is simply |
| 1:32.5 | next level. Welcome to the Chilin Show. Chilin is a New York Times best-selling author, |
| 1:38.0 | celebrity fitness trainer, and obsessed with helping you live your dream life. |
| 1:42.7 | Okay, so as a matter of fact, if you've been following me in social media, you might remember |
| 1:47.1 | back in 2017, I spent a lot of time testing different gut microbiome testing kits, |
| 1:54.8 | and I won't list them all, but one of them I was blown away by, and that was the company that |
| 2:00.6 | we're going to talk about today, volume. But I was also very careful not to talk about it back then. |
| 2:08.0 | In fact, I mentioned to my followers on Snapchat and on Instagram, like, this is mind blowing, |
| 2:13.0 | and at some point, if I feel like it's the right thing to share with you, I will. But if you know |
| 2:19.3 | me, I'm pretty careful. I'm more than a little bit careful about what it is I talk about, |
