Today, I am blessed to have here with me Joe Cohen, founder of SelfDecode, SelfHacked, and LabTestAnalyzer. He is a thriving speaker and entrepreneur that has been independently researching health and science for over 15 years. Growing up with a myriad of health issues that conventional medicine failed to solve pushed Joe to study his own genes to get to the root cause of his problems. After fixing his chronic health issues with a personalized gene-based approach to health, he knew that he needed to share this information with the masses. Founding SelfHacked, LabTestAnalyzer and SelfDecode was Joe’s way of helping people take their health into their own hands. Now, Joe regularly speaks at events alongside the world’s top health experts and continues to work on enhancing his company’s products to provide people with access to cutting-edge tools and information designed to optimize health. In this episode, Joe talks about how his health started to crumble in his early twenties. When he decided to study the body to improve his health, Joe learned how genes could be the answer to optimizing his life. We talk about the critical markers for your body and how SelfDecode can be a life-changing tool for your health journey. Joe dives into all the things affecting your health like diet, sleep, stress, and environmental toxins. Tune in as we chat about the importance of light exposure, exercise, and Joe explains why your genetic risks are not the end of the world.
