How My Cousin’s Death Led Me to Build Nucleus Genomics

Most companies are born from a market insight. Nucleus was born from a burial.

I was still young when my cousin died suddenly in her sleep. No warning. No explanation. She had a rare cardiac arrhythmia that went undiagnosed and untreated. When I asked my dad, a physician, how that could happen, he told me, "Bad genetics." That wasn’t enough for me. I needed to understand why something so final could be traced back to genetics—and how we could prevent it.

That question, rooted in grief, became an obsession. I studied computational biology. I joined early synthetic biology labs. I tracked the cost curve of genome sequencing like a startup founder studies server costs. And then in 2020, I realized something that changed everything: the cost to sequence a genome had dropped from $1 billion to $1,000. That meant the entire landscape of DNA insights was about to go mainstream. But no one had built the application layer. So I did.

Nucleus Genomics exists because families should not be blindsided by conditions hiding in their DNA. Because no one should need a wake-up call from a funeral to start paying attention. Your genetics impact your risk for almost every chronic disease we’ve ever labeled “inevitable” — from cancer to Alzheimer’s. Knowing your genome isn’t a novelty. It’s a tool for action, prevention, and agency.

I built this company in a Brooklyn bedroom, lying to my parents about being in a lab. I knew this was going to matter. I just didn’t know how many people would need it until after we launched. But if it keeps one more family from the kind of tragedy that brought me here, that’s the only ROI I’ll ever need.

Why Your DNA Is the Most Overlooked Health Metric You Should Be Tracking Now

If you're investing in your health with wearables, nutrition apps, and supplements but ignoring your genetics, you're flying blind. Genetics are the single most powerful variable in your long-term health equation, and yet the least tracked. Every chronic condition you've heard of—cancer, diabetes, Alzheimer's, heart disease—is deeply influenced by your DNA. We don't guess when we treat bacterial infections; we sequence and target. Why should chronic conditions be any different?

Understanding your genome isn't about accepting fate—it's about having the data to make better decisions. If you knew you had a 10x higher risk of sudden cardiac death, wouldn't you want to act? What if the right medication could bring that risk down to near zero? What if a simple test could tell you whether your future child might inherit a life-altering disease?

Technology doubled life expectancy from 1880 to today. In that period we defeated infectious diseases with antibiotics. But today, chronic diseases are the leading causes of death—and they don't strike randomly. They're patterned, inherited, predictable. And now, preventable.

We're entering the era where DNA becomes the application layer for healthcare. That's why we built Nucleus. Because the sooner you understand your risk, the longer and better you’ll live.

How Genetics Can Help Couples Prevent Passing Down Inherited Disease

Nearly 1 in 25 people in the US is a carrier of cystic fibrosis. The odds that two people with this recessive gene have a child together might sound low, but with millions of families, those numbers add up fast—and if both partners are carriers, there’s a 25% chance their child will be born with the disease. This is where using your DNA to make smarter family planning decisions comes into play.

Genetics can now identify these risks long before you even think about having kids. Take my own case: I found out I’m a carrier for cystic fibrosis. That means I now know to screen any future partner for the same gene. If we’re both carriers, we have options. We can still have children without passing down the condition.

That’s where Nucleus Family and Nucleus Embryo come in. First, Nucleus Family tells you whether you’re a genetic match with your partner—meaning, could your shared genes pass down a severe disease to your child. If you are, then through IVF, Nucleus Embryo lets you select embryos that don’t carry that combination. The power of a whole genome test is that it doesn't just help you make informed decisions—it can stop devastating diseases from ever reaching the next generation.

This isn’t speculative. It’s real. It’s already happening. And it’s one of the most important applications of genetic technology today: using science to protect future children from preventable suffering.

How Genetic Testing Before Pregnancy Can Prevent Inherited Diseases in Your Child

There’s a quiet revolution happening in family planning—and it starts with your DNA. Most couples have no idea they could be carrying genetic variants that, if paired with a matching partner, drastically increase the risk of passing down debilitating diseases to their children. We’ve grown used to the idea of newborn screening or pediatric checkups, but what if you could stop the problem before it even begins?

This is no longer hypothetical. With modern genome sequencing and tools like Nucleus Family and Nucleus Embryo, parents can identify inherited disease risk well before conception. If both partners are carriers for a disease like cystic fibrosis, they’re not left with a grim “what if” scenario—they have options. By combining carrier screening with IVF and embryo selection, it’s now possible to ensure a healthy start for future generations.

Nucleus Embryo allows parents undergoing IVF to select embryos that don’t carry inherited diseases. It can screen for carriers of cancer-related genes, neurodevelopmental conditions, and more. It’s not genetic engineering—it’s preventive health at the earliest stage of life.

And for those who worry about love vs. genetics—there’s no either-or. If partners aren’t genetically compatible, that’s not a deal breaker. It just means they have a responsibility to plan smarter. You fall in love, you run the test, you make decisions based on better data. Health isn’t random anymore.

Every couple planning to have kids should consider a full-genome preconception screen. Because once a child is born with a preventable disease, it’s too late. A simple cheek swab today could change the trajectory of your family forever.

Why the Whole Genome Is the Missing Link in Preventive Health

For decades, we’ve treated health reactively. A patient walks into a clinic with symptoms, and only then do we begin asking questions. But that model breaks down when we finally have access to full biological context—especially the whole genome.

Your genome doesn’t just tell you about rare conditions or ancestry. It’s the single most powerful diagnostic baseline we have. It gives us the potential to make accurate risk predictions years in advance—before a blood biomarker spikes or a wearable logs a red flag.

At Nucleus, we’ve built the first consumer health platform to combine genomic data with continuous blood tests, biometrics like BMI and age, and real-time lifestyle input. This lets us provide risk assessments that are grounded in both your DNA and your day-to-day metrics. In practice, that means getting alerts not just when your lab numbers look off, but when those numbers make sense for someone with your exact genotype and demographic profile.

But the power doesn't stop there. With enough data—both public and private—we can start building dynamic models based on people who genuinely match you. Think: finding outcomes from 25-year-old Brooklyn-based men with your exact genetic cholesterol profile, who responded to a specific training protocol and meal plan. Then giving you that same adaptive nudge just when it matters.

This is not futuristic medicine. It’s what's possible now, at scale, when the genome is no longer siloed off from the rest of your health data. We're not just adding genetics to the wellness stack. We're redefining the foundation.

Medicine Is Now a Data Problem, Not a Status One

For more than a century, clinical decisions in medicine have heavily leaned on tradition, expert opinion, and limited populations. But that’s no longer good enough. Today, the gold standard in healthcare will be determined by data at scale. Medicine is becoming less about credentials and more about compute.

When we talk about clinical recommendations moving forward, we're no longer asking a single doctor what they think. We're asking what millions of data points—across genomics, wearables, and medical history—can tell us. The real transformation isn’t a new pill or device. It’s that we finally have the infrastructure to understand health for each person, not just a theoretical average patient.

Whole genome sequencing allows us to detect rare mutations that common genotyping would miss. Combine that with longitudinal health data and you get something quantifiably different: individualized recommendations rooted in probability, not anecdote. What lowers LDL levels for one person may raise it in another. Until now, those nuances were invisible. With large diverse biobanks and wearables feeding data pipelines continuously, these differences come into focus. 

The future of medicine won’t be found in white coats or traditional authority. It will emerge from data, algorithms, and meaningful validation. It will be built by platforms that treat genetics and digital health data as the foundation, not an afterthought. And it’s already happening. This is the era where clinical intelligence is learned, not assumed.

Epigenetics vs Genetics: Why Most People Are Skipping the First Step

There’s a growing buzz around epigenetics. If you scroll through wellness blogs or talk to certain researchers, it can sound like methylation clocks and biological age scores are the next great medical breakthrough. But let’s pull back for a second.

Before you base decisions about your health on these trendy tests, it’s important to ask: What do we actually know? And how does that stack up to what we’ve proven about your genetic code itself?

Epigenetics is real. It’s also young. The field has only been studied in depth for a few decades, mostly post-2000s. That pales in comparison to germline genetics, which has been actively researched from Gregor Mendel’s era in the 19th century, through the sequencing of the human genome, to today’s DNA testing technologies.

This isn’t about dismissing epigenetics. It’s about understanding where the science currently stands. Germline genetics has built out detailed, clinically validated ways to understand disease risk directly from your DNA. That’s what drives Nucleus: we look at the entire genome using 99.9% analytically validated tests to identify real, actionable insights.

Epigenetic insights, such as biological age scores, may be intriguing — but they can mislead. You could have a methylation score that tells you you’re biologically 25, and feel awesome about that. But if you have a pathogenic variant that puts you at elevated risk for a serious condition and go undiagnosed, that biological age score won’t save you. Your genome might just hold critical, life-saving clues.

So yes, the frontier of “omics” is exciting — proteomics, epigenomics, and more. But don’t skip step one. First, you need to understand your genome. You quite literally come from your DNA. That’s the ground truth. From there, new technologies can enhance what we know — but they don’t replace what’s already proven.

In this post, I break down how we think about epigenetics at Nucleus, why whole genome testing is the foundation for any personalized medicine strategy, and how to critically evaluate the claims around newer diagnostics.

The Future of DNA-Powered Medicine: Proactive Health, Reproductive Engineering, and the End of Symptom-Based Care

Today, most people wait for symptoms before they act. A cough, a bump, a screening ten years too late. But the tools to completely change that equation already exist. And they start not with a stethoscope, but with a saliva sample.

At Nucleus, we’re building toward a future where everyone owns their molecular data—from DNA to blood to the microbiome—and where the earliest warning signs of disease are visible long before any symptoms appear. This isn’t predictive in the abstract. It’s grounded in the real clinical utility of germline DNA testing. We’ve seen it firsthand—when people discover they carry genetic markers that dramatically increase their risk for devastating diseases and, more critically, gain the ability to act on that information.

Genetics is the foundation, but the stack we're building goes far beyond—into quantified health, integrated diagnostics, and proactive intervention. Imagine monitoring molecular signals in real time, identifying risk trajectories before they manifest, and applying that not just to adults, but to newborns and even preconception.

The same platform that helps you understand your Alzheimer's risk today could be helping you optimize your child’s health tomorrow, right from birth. That’s why we’re not just building a product. We're building a health and reproductive operating system—one that empowers individuals with agency over their health decisions across their entire lifetime.

Medicine doesn’t need more gatekeeping. It needs more participation. And the sooner patients lead the way, the faster we’ll unlock this future.
Nucleus didn't start in a boardroom. It started in a bedroom in Brooklyn, fueled by grief and a relentless question: how could someone die in their sleep from 'bad genetics' and no one saw it coming? 

My cousin’s sudden death wasn’t just a family tragedy. It revealed something broken in our healthcare system: we treat the outcome, not the root. That moment sent me into computational biology, genome sequencing, and ultimately building Nucleus Genomics from the ground up. 

We created the world’s most comprehensive consumer genetic health test not out of curiosity, but out of necessity. Because this story shouldn’t repeat itself. Knowing your DNA risk can mean the difference between doing something and doing nothing. Between life and death.

If we can help people make better health decisions before disease strikes, we can rewrite millions of outcomes before they’re headlines.
Everyone is tracking something now: sleep, steps, heart rate. But what if the most powerful metric for your future health isn’t on your wrist — it’s in your genome?

Half of us will die from chronic conditions like cancer, heart disease, diabetes, or Alzheimer’s. These aren’t just lifestyle diseases — they’re genetic too. And understanding your genetic risk isn’t about being curious. It’s about being prepared.

My cousin died in her sleep from a preventable condition we didn’t know she had. If we had access to her DNA insights, she could have taken a simple beta blocker and reduced her risk by 10x.

That’s why I built Nucleus. This isn’t just about extending life. It’s about changing the story before it’s written.
Most parents would do anything to protect their children’s future. But what if the most important protection starts before they’re born?

I’m a carrier for cystic fibrosis. A silent risk I would have never known about without genetic testing. If my partner is also a carrier, our child could be born with a life-threatening condition.

This isn’t rare. 80% of children with a recessive genetic disease are born to parents with no known family history.

With whole genome sequencing, families now have the power to know in advance—and act. At Nucleus, we built Family and Embryo to help eliminate these invisible risks. It’s not about playing God. It’s about using information to prevent unnecessary suffering.

Because some diseases can’t be cured. But they can be avoided.

And that’s the future we’re building.
If a disease is preventable, why are we still letting millions of children inherit it?

Most people don’t realize they can be carriers of genetic conditions like cystic fibrosis without ever showing symptoms. Two healthy people can have a child with a severe, life-altering disease—unless they screen beforehand.

This is where whole genome testing changes everything. It gives couples visibility into whether they're a genetic match—and if they aren’t, they still have options. With Nucleus Embryo, parents undergoing IVF can screen for the exact hereditary conditions they’re both carrying and select embryos that are unaffected.

We’re not talking about selecting eye color. We’re talking about preventing suffering. We’re talking about a permanent break in the chain of inherited disease.

Preventive genome testing isn’t just good science. It’s basic parental responsibility in 2024.
The genome isn’t just another data point. It’s the foundation.

At Nucleus, we’ve integrated the full genome with blood, lifestyle, biometrics, and more—all in one platform—because real prevention means understanding your risk from every angle.

The future of personalized care starts by tying your DNA to your data. We’re not talking fragments of your genome or surface-level screening. We’re talking about the entire code that drives everything from cholesterol to cancer risk.

When your Apple Watch, your blood test, your age, and your genome all speak the same language, you don’t just get information—you get action steps. That’s where care gets personal. And predictive. And powerful.
What’s disrupting healthcare isn’t a new pill or a better clinic. It’s data. And it’s not coming from where you’d expect.

For the longest time, medicine was shaped by clinical tradition and siloed publishing. A few data points, a few experts, and a lot of intuition. That’s no longer the case.

The future of care will be built around large-scale, longitudinal datasets that combine full genome sequencing, wearables, blood work, and real-world evidence. Models will get smarter with every data point. Recommendations will get more tailored, more predictive, and more preventative. It won’t be based on the best guess of an authority figure—it will be based on numbers.

That’s why at Nucleus, we didn’t just build another test. We built infrastructure for the next 20 years of medicine. The real revolution is happening in the validation sets, not the headlines.
There’s a lot of hype around epigenetics right now. But before we rush into the latest trend, we need to be honest about where the field actually stands.

Epigenetics has only had a few decades of serious research behind it. Germline genetics has had over a century. The science, the tools, and the clinical impact are simply not on the same level yet. 

At Nucleus, we focus on what’s proven: reading the entire genome at the highest fidelity possible. That means giving people meaningful, actionable insights into disease risk from the start—before symptoms even begin, before the noise of biological age scores and methylation models. 

We’re not against epigenetics. It’s interesting, and the research will evolve. But let’s not confuse motion with precision. The foundation of prevention is still your DNA. That’s where everything starts.
Most people think of DNA as ancestry. Where your family came from. What percentage Neanderthal you are. 

But your genome tells a much deeper story about your future.

We’ve seen young people take a test with Nucleus and uncover genetic markers that could have killed them. Then take proactive steps to prevent the disease. That kind of agency is powerful.

The future is a full-stack health and reproductive platform that begins with sequencing, analyzing, and ultimately engineering DNA. Across preconception, birth, and lifelong health. From wearables to the proteome and everything in between.

This shift isn’t just about more data. It’s about who gets to act on it. At Nucleus, we believe that person should be you—not a hospital system. Not a physician. You.

Participatory medicine means putting health ownership in the hands of the individual. Because no one cares more about your future than you do.
My cousin died in her sleep from a genetic condition no one even knew she had. That moment changed everything for me. I dropped out, locked myself in a room with 18 notebooks, and built the DNA test I wish she had. That’s how Nucleus was born.
If you're both carriers for a disease like cystic fibrosis, your child has a 1 in 4 chance of inheriting it. But today, you can run a genome test, identify the risk, and prevent it entirely. Same swab. Same software. No disease. That’s the power of Nucleus Embryo.
Two carriers of the same genetic condition have a 25% chance of passing a serious disease to their child. With Nucleus Embryo, that risk can drop to zero.

This isn’t futuristic. It’s real.

Your DNA, your partner’s DNA, one test. Then pick the embryo free of disease.

The most powerful preventive medicine tool ever invented.
Medicine used to be about intuition and pedigree. Now it's data pipelines and AI models. If you're not building with full-genome datasets, wearable streams, and real-time feedback loops, you're not building the future of healthcare.
Everyone's talking about epigenetics like it's the next revolution. Here's the truth: the science is early, the claims are shaky, and you're not changing your DNA. If you're skipping genome testing for a methylation score, you're playing in the dark. Your risk for cancer, Alzheimer's, or cardiac disease? That's in your genome. Not in a trendy biological age calculator.
This didn’t start as a company. It started with a personal tragedy. One that raises a question that most people never ask until it’s too late. What if you could predict the biggest health risks in your life before they happen? What started as one unanswered question from a first-generation kid in Brooklyn turned into a mission to build the most advanced DNA health test in the world. Because when disease is a problem that can be solved, waiting in the dark isn’t just risky—it’s a choice.
You track your sleep, your workouts, your food. But what’s actually driving your health risk? Chronic diseases like cancer, heart disease, Alzheimer’s — they don’t come out of nowhere. Genetics is the hidden layer most people ignore. This is what we’re solving at Nucleus. Knowing your DNA isn’t about curiosity. It’s about preventing what could take you out early. And sometimes, it’s not diet or exercise that matters most. It’s the medication or strategy your body actually needs — because of your unique code.
Most people don’t realize they might be a carrier until it’s too late. But imagine finding out before you even decide to have kids. That’s what happened to me—I found out I carry the cystic fibrosis gene. If my partner is also a carrier, our child faces a 1 in 4 chance of inheriting the disease. That’s not a guess. That’s fact, backed by genetics. So what do you do with that information? That’s where it gets powerful. You can test your partner. You can screen embryos. You can eliminate severe disease before a child is ever born. This isn’t futuristic. This is happening now. And once you see it, you can’t unsee it.
You can’t cure most genetic diseases after birth. But what if you could prevent them before life even starts? Kian explains how parents who carry the same hereditary condition like cystic fibrosis can choose embryos that are free of it. It’s not science fiction. It’s Nucleus Embryo. This is the most profound shift in preventive healthcare we’ve ever seen. All it takes is information from your DNA and the right technology.
Why hasn't your doctor ever told you this?

Nucleus is the first to combine your whole genome with your bloodwork, age, sex, and BMI. One continuous health model, with real-time recommendations. Not fragments, not partial insights—your entire biology in one place.

This isn't theoretical. It's already live for our whole genome users.

The genome isn’t just a diagnostic—it’s the master key that makes every other health signal exponentially more powerful. The next era of preventative care isn’t coming. It’s here.
What does it actually take to reinvent medicine? It's not tradition. It's not hierarchy. It's massive datasets, genetic insight, and relentless statistical analysis. In this clip, Kian lays out the foundation of how public bio banks and private innovation are building the future together. And the real kicker? Medicine is becoming data science. That shift changes everything.
Everyone’s obsessed with epigenetics right now. But if you haven’t even looked at your own DNA, what are you really optimizing?

This clip is a reset. Kian breaks down how epigenetics is decades behind in research, and why your germline DNA still holds the clearest answers to disease risk prevention.

Think your 'biological age' is 8? Cool. But what if your DNA says you’re carrying a rare mutation with life-altering consequences?

Before you biohack, make sure you’ve read the original code.
What if optimizing your child's health didn’t start at birth—but before it?

This moment zooms in on something most people haven’t fully wrapped their heads around yet: The future of preventative medicine starts with sequencing, analyzing, and engineering DNA across the entire reproductive journey. From before conception to after birth, the real goal isn’t just longevity for adults, but building a world where your child’s health is fully programmable from day one.

There’s a compelling moment where Kian explains how sequencing a newborn's genome isn’t the end—it’s the beginning. That’s when the next layer of innovation kicks in.

This is where the reel should anchor. The question is no longer when you get sick—it’s can we make sure you never do.
Start with Kian saying he’s a first-gen American and then immediately dive into the emotional hit: his cousin dying in her sleep. Let the viewer sit with that shock. Then follow Kian’s raw reaction when he asks his dad what happened and hears 'bad genetics.' It’s the moment everything shifts. From confusion to obsession. From personal tragedy to a world-changing mission. End the clip where he says he had to study genetics. This isn’t just a founder story. It’s why Nucleus exists.
Everyone’s tracking sleep, steps, and calories… but ignoring their DNA. Kian explains how your genes are the hidden blueprint behind most chronic diseases—cancer, Alzheimer's, diabetes. He breaks down how genetics determine risk, and how knowing this can help you act early and save your life. This clip flips the health-tracking narrative: wearables help you respond, genetics helps you prevent.
Most people don’t realize a simple saliva test could actually prevent your child from ever getting a deadly genetic disease. Kian explains how he discovered he’s a carrier for cystic fibrosis and why he asked his girlfriend to get tested too. The twist? Even if both parents carry the same gene, there’s still a way to make sure their child doesn’t inherit it. This clip breaks down the real-life decisions people are making right now thanks to advances in genetic screening.
Imagine finding out you and your partner are both carriers for a serious genetic disease—but there’s a way to make sure your child never gets it. That’s the power of genome testing before having kids. In this clip, Kian breaks down how couples can avoid passing down cystic fibrosis using Nucleus Embryo, a product that lets you select embryos without the harmful gene. It's not hypothetical. It's already happening. And it might be the single most impactful preventive step any parent can take.
Most health apps just read your data. Nucleus actually uses your full genome with your bloodwork, age, BMI, sex, and lifestyle to predict your health risks. That cholesterol spike you saw? It might’ve been written into your DNA. But it’s not just about knowing—it connects the dots across people like you. Your Apple Watch workout. Your diet. Your genetic risk. It’s all part of one real-time feedback loop. This isn’t tracking. This is precision prediction.
Start with Kian making the point that health advice from small sample sizes isn’t enough. Then jump into his breakdown of how massive, diverse biobanks are changing everything. He explains how genetic data plus wearables are finally creating statistically valid models that can actually personalize care. The big hook is when he stops and says: medicine today is data science. That’s the punch. Not your status. Not your stethoscope. The real revolution is happening behind the scenes with computers, AI, and massive datasets. Clip ends with how public and private databases are combining to make personalized medicine real.
Start with the hype: people chasing their 'biological age' or trying to hack their health with trendy epigenetics tests. Then drop the reality check: most of this doesn't matter if you've never looked at your actual genome. Kian breaks it down — why you could have a biological age of 8 and still be on track for early-onset Alzheimer's. The wake-up call: knowing your DNA could literally save your life. Ends on a point that hits — people are skipping the foundational test that actually sees the risk coming.
Imagine finding out at 16 that your DNA holds the blueprint for a condition that could take you out at 25. Now imagine being able to stop it before it ever happens. This clip opens with high-stakes reality Kian has seen firsthand: young people discovering life-threatening genetic markers through Nucleus. The power moment? When he explains that it's not just about knowing—it's about acting. It’s real-time, data-driven prevention, not wishful thinking. The future of health isn’t coming. It’s already here, and it starts with your DNA.
Kian shares the heartbreaking moment that changed everything. His cousin died in her sleep from a preventable genetic condition. That tragedy sent him on a mission to decode the human genome and build the world’s most advanced DNA health test. This is the moment that sparked Nucleus.
Wearables track your sleep. But what if you’re tracking the wrong thing? 

Start with Kian saying most people—no matter how healthy—are still at high risk of dying from chronic disease. Then he explains why wearables alone won’t save you from cancer, Alzheimer’s, or heart disease. These killers are heavily driven by genetics, and without understanding yours, you’re guessing.

The key insight: You’re optimizing lifestyle while ignoring your personal blueprint. That’s like exercising with no training plan. Close with the point that genetics lets you know exactly what to screen for or what drugs could save your life—especially when lifestyle alone doesn't cut it.
If you and your partner are both carriers for a disease, your child could inherit it. But there's a way to stop that before it begins. Kian explains how one genetic test can help future parents screen for risks and use embryo selection to avoid passing down debilitating conditions. It's not science fiction—it's happening right now.
Most people wait until their child is born to think about health. But what if you could prevent inherited diseases before pregnancy even starts? Kian explains how Nucleus lets couples detect if they’re genetic matches—and if not, how they can still have a healthy child by selecting embryos without those disease-causing genes. This is how cystic fibrosis and other debilitating illnesses can be avoided entirely. It’s not just planning a family. It’s optimizing a future.
Most people think a blood test is the gold standard. It’s not. The genome is. Your DNA predicts what’s coming before anything shows up in your blood. That’s why we started with whole genome sequencing first — it’s the foundation. From there, everything else makes sense: bloodwork, wearables, lifestyle data. When they all speak to each other, you get clarity instead of noise.
Why is the future of medicine being shaped by data, not doctors in white coats? This clip drops the punchline: the medical world is no longer built on tradition or hierarchy. It runs on massive datasets, AI models, and genomic analysis over time. And it’s already reshaping how we discover drugs, personalize care, and validate treatment outcomes. The healthcare system isn’t catching up—it’s being rebuilt from the genome up.
Everybody’s talking about epigenetics like it’s the future of health. But without understanding your actual DNA, you're missing the whole point. Whole genome testing has 150 years of science behind it. Epigenetics? We’re barely a few decades in. Your biological age might say you’re 8, but your genes could be hiding a life-threatening disease. You have to start with your genome. No shortcuts.
Most people think genetics is just about ancestry or disease risk. But this clip flips all that. Kian lays out a radical future where your DNA isn’t just sequenced and stored — it’s actively used to engineer your health, your fertility, even how your child is born. And here’s the twist: patients, not doctors, are the ones in charge. The ending ties it all together with an idea most people aren't ready for — that genetic longevity won’t stop at adults. It’s starting at birth.
