In today’s episode, I speak with Dr. Kamal Obbad, the co-founder of Nebula Genomics. Kamal is a Harvard and Gates-Cambridge Scholar with research experience at Google. Recognizing a gap in the consumer market for Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS), he co-founded Nebula Genomics to democratize access to comprehensive genomic data. Kamal aims to make personal genomics mainstream and accessible. 
We chat about the significance of whole genome sequencing and its potential to improve health and wellness. Kamal gives us a lesson on what the genome is, the importance of studying the whole genome sequence for health optimization, and why it has previously been so cost prohibitive to secure whole genome sequencing. 
In this episode you will learn:
- Understand the concept of personal genomics and its potential impact on health and wellness.
- Learn about the difference between whole genome sequencing and other genetic tests.
- Gain knowledge about the complexity of DNA and the importance of non-coding regions in genetic analysis.

Summary 
Join me in conversation with Hannah Went, a leading figure in epigenetics research, as we explore the science behind biological age testing and its potential impact on personalized healthcare.  
Hannah attended the University of Kentucky and graduated with a degree in Biology. Through work in the integrative medicine industry, Hannah saw an opportunity for methylation-based age diagnostics and started TruDiagnostics in 2020. TruDiagnostic is a company focusing on methylation array-based diagnostics for life extension and preventive healthcare serving functional medicine providers. Since TruDiagnostic’s inception, they have created one of the largest private epigenetic health databases in the world with over 30,000 patients tested to date. Hannah has since created Everything Epigenetics where she shares insights on how DNA regulation has an impact on your health.
