DNA Testing & Health Optimisation Part 1: Personalize Your Longevity Plan, Lower Your Biological Age & Balance Your Hormones | Joe Cohen

Angela talks to Joe Cohen, founder of SelfDecode about the power of DNA testing

Description

Imagine having a personalised health roadmap created from your own DNA—one that tells you which supplements will work best for you, which diets to avoid, what conditions you may be predisposed to, and how to take proactive steps to optimise your longevity and performance. In this powerful episode, Angela sits down with Joe Cohen, founder of SelfDecode, to explore how advanced AI and genetic testing are revolutionising the way we approach wellness. Instead of guessing what might work for your health, Joe explains how we can now tap into science-backed insights tailored to your unique genetic makeup.


From brain fog and fatigue to inflammation, anxiety, and stubborn health challenges, Joe shares how DNA-based tools helped him transform his own health after years of trial and error. He breaks down how to understand your genetic blueprint, combine it with lab data and lifestyle habits, and use it to make smarter choices about everything from supplements to workouts. Whether you're biohacking for performance or trying to get ahead of chronic conditions, this episode will open your eyes to the future of truly personalised health.

Key Takeaways

DNA as a Health Compass: Your DNA holds key clues about your risks, strengths, and how to personalise your health plan.
Not All DNA Tests Are Equal: Many tests look at too few variants. SelfDecode uses millions to give accurate, usable insights.
Genes Aren’t Destiny: Even if you have high genetic risk, your environment and habits can still shape your outcomes.
Precision Supplements: Knowing your genes can guide which supplements actually work for your body.
Tracking Matters: Blood tests, wearables, and advanced genetic analysis together give the most powerful health roadmap.
Smart Lifestyle Tweaks: DNA risk helps guide diet, exercise, and supplement choices so you don’t waste time guessing.
Functional Goals > Diagnosis: This episode shifts focus from diagnosing disease to optimising performance and energy.
