Joe Cohen, founder of SelfDecode, used genetic testing to biohack his way back to health when he couldn't find answers from traditional medicine. He shares the importance of understanding your genetics to create a personal plan that gives you the greatest results with the least amount of effort. We also dive into Th1 vs Th2 balance, lectin sensitivity, the pros and cons of a plant-based diet, and the risk assessment tool he created for learning your viral risk.SHOW NOTES: 1:21 Welcome to the show!3:47 Joe Cohen’s Bio5:38 The beginning of Joe’s journey8:02 Figuring out your own “kryptonite"10:12 Food Sensitivities10:39 The problem with “specialists"11:58 Lectin Sensitivity & Cannabinoids14:02 Dr Gundry’s work14:36 The power in knowing your genetics16:50 Immune-modulating effects of plants17:23 Th1/Th2 Balance19:10 Discussing Plant-based & Vegan diets19:36 Genes involved in Th1/Th221:37 Balancing the Th1/Th2 system23:19 The role of herbal supplements24:44 What to know about Lectin Sensitivities27:09 Explaining SelfDecode testing30:44 What do YOU want to improve?33:28 User experience: genetics & lab work37:04 Gene Packs38:20 Renee’s experience comparing labs to genes40:25 How he used to experiment with his health42:43 Our bio-individual “blueprints”43:10 Simplifying the biohacking & health efforts47:04 COVID Discussion48:54 The role of genetics51:09 Joe's genetic propensity to COVID53:22 Risk assessment tool56:38 His one piece of advice for takeaway1:01:33 SelfDecode vs SelfHacked1:02:38 Where to find him1:03:05 Thanks for tuning in!RESOURCES:SelfDecode - Use code BIOHACKERBABES for 10% offSelfHacked.comIG: SelfDecodeIG: MrBiohackerSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/biohacker-babes-podcast/donations
