Dear Rosies,

Welcome to the Rose Woman Podcast, where we explore the cutting edge of health, wellness, and personal empowerment. Today, we have a very special guest - Dr. Michael Snyder, a leader in the field of functional genomics and proteomics, and one of the major participants of the ENCODE project.

He has also combined different state-of-the-art "omics" technologies to perform the first longitudinal detailed integrative personal omics profile (iPOP) of person and used this to assess disease risk and monitor disease states for personalized medicine. Dr. Snyder is the cofounder of Personalis, SensOmics, Qbio @qbioinc, January AI, Filtricine, Mirvie, Protos, Protometrix (now part of Thermo-Fisher). Affomix (now part of Illumina).

This is an episode that just might change the way you think about your health and the future of healthcare - don't miss it.

In this episode, we cover:

Importance of measuring health frequently while people are still healthy to detect early signs of disease
