“Now people have access to their data, but step two is having personal responsibility to understand what that data means, why it’s important, and following it yourself.” 

“There’s a balance that our biology needs to live under. It needs to have some stress, and it needs to have time to relax. It needs to have heavy exercise, but it also needs to have just light movement… You have to find where that balance lies in your own system and it’s always going to be changing. And you’re not going to know this until you check some of these biomarkers.”
