Become a Mindvalley Viome Certified Nutrition Coach | Live Webinar by Naveen Jain

Everyone. So everyone, we see people trickling in right now. And with me is Ajit Nawalka who is the head of Mindvalley Certifications. He's the founder, co founder of Certification Division, something that I've been so excited to collaborate with Ajit on. And of course below me, depending on what you see on your your your view is Naveen Jain, the brilliant, dynamic founder of viome whose videos have been blowing up on the Internet lately. Welcome everyone, now to Shonadine. How diverse and vast the mindvalley audience is. I'm going to ask that you post in the chat a hello and then the country you're from. So, hi, Cameron from Austin. Well, country or city? Hello. Ray from oh, it's scrolling so fast I can barely read this. I see Sweden. I see Ghana. I see Medellin, Colombia. I see Genevieve from Canada. I see greetings. Mer from Philadelphia. Dayanira from Colombia. Hello, Bijou from India. Hello, Lena from London, England, which is where I'm at right now. Hello, Raj Kapoor from Alexandria, Virginia. Dagmar from Spain. Anna from Berlin. Marian from La Bo from Denmark. It is amazing to have all of you guys over here. We have close to 700 people joining us and thank you for showing up. Now, this webinar is about one thing. It is about nutrition certification. And if you showed up on this webinar, it means that you watched a video on our social channel or you got an email and you were excited to look at the possibility of being trained by mindvalley to become a mindvalley Biome Certified Nutrition Coach. Okay? Now I don't need to tell you about the benefits of coaching and what the coaching industry is about because a lot of you already have a coaching certificate. But maybe you're a management coach, maybe you're a life coach, maybe you're a mindset coach. But there is one really interesting thing that's happening in the world right now. It is the confluence of new technologies which are changing our understanding of the human body. And that those technologies merging with AI which are allowing us to understand patterns in terms of what's going on in our bodies, primarily that part of us that is non human. You see, what's most fascinating about the human body is that you're not completely human. You're roughly 4% of your body mass non human. And within your body, you have over 100 trillion non human cells called your microbiome. And this microbiome, as you're about to learn from our brilliant guest Naveen, controls so much about you that it's absolutely dazzling. From your weight to your skin condition to your moods to even your intelligence. And we are just on the cusp of discovering how deep this microbiome is. But the problem is a lot of our understanding of nutrition, even nutrition coaching from, from a nutrition training across the Internet is based on an outdated paradigm of one size fits all right of the classic food pyramid. Eat these products and you'll be good. But that's not true because while all of us are human and we all have the same human DNA, all of us depending on where we grew up, depending on the foods we ate, depending on our parents, have different microbiome. And your microbiome determines what foods actually give you benefits and what foods don't. So Naveen is going to go take you through an incredible 30 to 40 minute break journey of the microbiome. And for those of you who attended our last webinar this past weekend, you heard Naveen dazzle you with, with, with this incredible story. It was so mind blowing. People were, were in awe because this is new science and Naveen being the founder of Volume is at the cutting edge of it. But before we get there, I want to invite Ajit Nawalka to tell us a little bit about Mindvalley Certifications which is his company. Ajit is the greatest trainer of coaches in the world. And in the last two years Ajit has worked with brilliant scientists, brilliant teachers like Naveen and he has helped their knowledge and then translate this to coaching paradigms so that he's able to create really powerful coaches that have empathy, that have, that have listening skills, that know how to create transformation but more so know how to build a business. Ajit, thank you.

Ashen, thank you for a wonderful introduction. Hello everyone, people from the world, so excited to see all almost 900 of you joining us on this amazing life transforming webinar. And I say this not lightly. I don't say this because you know it sounds good. I say this because it really transformed my life. See and I'm sure and post it in the chat if you identify with this. Right. A few years ago, if you were living anything close to California, you heard the experts on social media. You were told the vegan diet is the best diet. It's going to save our planet, it's going to heal the world and, and it is the best food that you can eat. How many of you identify with that? You've heard Some kind of diet is my favorite diet. Can we say that in the chat? Yes, like see so many of you. All right. Oh yeah, that's. Vegan diet was the thing. And my now wife, then girlfriend Nita, fell for that trap. She was like, all right, vegan diet. That's what I'm going to eat. I'm going to eat vegan food every day. She would not touch dairy. She would not touch meat. She would not touch chicken. No eggs, nothing. Only vegan food. And then about five years ago, me and Nita, we were married now, and we said, hey, we would love to have babies. That's why we got married. We're like, I love to have a child. She said, I would love to have a child. And we said, let's have a child. And we were trying. We were trying to get pregnant. We were consulting the doctors, all of that fun stuff, and nobody could tell us why we were not getting pregnant. The most common answer, which is kind of bullshit, but the most common answer would get, well, your wife is 35. It's hard to get pregnant at 35. And then we saw this ad from this weird company that we didn't know anything about at that time called viome, which said, test your microbiome and you will know what food you should eat. We look at the ad. Neeta is a former dentist, so she's very, very interested in science. So she takes this test, and she takes the test and says, dude, the test says that I shouldn't be eating most of the food that I'm eating because it's actually bad for my gut. Now I realize why I'm bloated all the time. Now I realize, even eating all the healthy foods, why I'm not healthy. And so she looked at the recommendation. The recommendation was, you should be trying game meat. Game meat would be things like lamb and bison and so forth. So she goes ahead and starts trying that diet. Now she's okay to eat all of the meats and so forth. So she tries it out, she tries it for three months, and lo and behold, we get pregnant. Three months. And it had. We've been trying for, like two years before this, with all the doctors, all the support we could get. That's how powerful. Knowing what precisely you must eat is so much more important than what's a healthy diet. If you're following the trends right now, you might be going, oh, the only healthy diet right now is eat all the meat you can. Well, one person's meat might mean somebody's poison. It is not about generic advice. Generic advice is how we got here. Generic advice. If you look at the horrible American food pyramid, you would realize is why we got fat and sick. If we were to make progress in our lives, we must reconsider how we eat, what we eat, what nutrition is for us and it needs to be specific. That got us so excited into ym and then when Vishen said, hey, we know Naveen and we could do something with him, we were like, absolutely. So we spoke to Naveen and we said, Naveen, we'd love to do with this, this video. And Naveen said, we would love to do this with you because a lot of people take the Wyoming test, but the unfortunate thing is that they don't follow through. How many of us have known what is good for us and we don't do it? Let's be honest and say that in the chat like we know this is good for me. And then you kind of fall for the traps of life, right? So many of you. Yup. Me. Yes, I do. Yes, I do. And it's not that we don't want to change. It's because we don't understand how to coach ourselves to change ourselves, how to change our own habits, how to change how we, how we change and transform our behavior. Which is why we brought the best of technology that is in nutrition today, which will tell you exactly what you need to eat. And you'll hear more about it from Naveen. Best of that technology, which is biome, which is nutrition coaching. And we said let's integrate with the best and the highest tested habit coaching that we have found in the past 12,000 coaches that I've trained myself. So we are integrating one of the most powerful technologies that you would find in science and technology and in psychology so you could have a truly transformational life. Now here's the thing. If you have ever seen any of the nutrition coaching and if you are a nutrition coach yourself, take a step back and think for it for a second. Most nutrition coaching that is available out there does only one thing. First of all, they never talk about habits, which is why most of these nutrition coachings fall on their face. And secondly, they talk about the most generalized thing that you can possibly read. Like you can Google that stuff. You don't need to become a nutrition coach for that. You can Google. Generally it's considered spinach is good for you, which it is not. And you'll learn more about that probably later today generally you will learn avocados are good for you, but they're not. And you will learn more about that today. So we said that this market, this whole industry has need to change. We need to have a Different dialogue. We need to talk to people differently, we need to give education differently. Which is why we are, and I am personally and we all are so, so, so excited to partner with Wyoming mindvalley, which is the greatest personal growth company that is right now, ym, which is one of the greatest transformation in food and systems around food company right now and say let's partner together and create arguably the best nutrition coaching program that is in the marketplace. And that's our intent. And with that I'll pass the mic back and we have over 1,000 people now joining in, so celebrating that. And Vishen, passing the mic back to you.

Thank you, Ajit. So what we're going to do is we are going to, to, we're going to go on a journey. So you guys understand the concept of the GUT microbiome and what it means to us. And then, sorry, let me just turn on the light. It's rapidly getting darker where I am, the sun setting here in London and then we're going to spend about 30 to 40 minutes. But Naveen, who's going to educate us on what we need to know, some incredibly mind blowing facts on the research he's done and what science is telling about our microbiome. And that's going to take us to about around 45 minutes past the hour and then after that we will talk about our certification. After you guys understand the concept of the microbiome, we'll talk about our certification. For those of you who are excited about signing up to become certified by mindvalley, okay, it's now I, many of you are wondering like is this, like what is the price for this? We, because mindvalley is so big, we create really powerful, well structured certification programs. But we always pride ourselves that we are able to charge lower than the competition. We, we always charge lower than the competition because we have economies of scale. That's one of the reasons why we've been able to become the size that we are. So whatever you think the price may be, you may probably thinking 7, 8, 10,000. I can tell you it's actually significantly less. Okay. But we need to show you what it's about before we show you the pricing, how the payment plan works, how you guys can enroll. Because the biggest thing is not the price. The biggest thing is the time commitment. You need to commit time to become a certified coach. We want great coaches. Now with that let's bring up Naveen Jain. Naveen, welcome.

First of all, Vishen, what an honor to be here again and thank you Ajit.

Well Naveen, you're one of the best speakers I put on webinars. You always dazzle an audience, so it is exciting to be able to interview again. Naveen, the last time we were speaking with with a live audience, there were around 3,000 people joining us this past week, the past weekend, and you shared the story of the microbiome. It was beautiful. I'd love for you to take us through that story again, but let's just.

Step back for a second and saying, you know, what is this microbiome and why do we even care? Well, what's really interesting is that all of us share 99.8% of the same genes. That means literally any two human beings you meet, they may look completely different. They may look white and blonde and, you know, and one could be completely black and with a green eyes or dark eyes and dark hair, but 99.8% is the same. But what's really interesting is that when we look at US as individuals, 99% of all the genes in our body don't come from mom and dad. And we have this somehow this idea, well, I am genetically predisposed to this. I am destined to be sick. My mother was obese and I'm destined to be obese. My parents had this cancer. I'm destined to have a cancer. And what is really this whole idea has become is that we have taken the responsibility out of ourselves and start to blame our ancestors for all of our problems. And that is a fundamentally a completely wrong approach. So let me step back and tell you a couple of interesting things about your genes and why your genes are not your destiny. And then I'm going to come back and talk to you about the microbiome and why our microbiome actually is part of who we are. So think about it. You are born with a set of genes. As we age, our genes don't change. You can do your DNA test when you're born and you can do a DNA test when you are 58. You have 68, you are 78. Why is it your, you know, your skin is wrinkled, you're feeling sick, you have now gained weight, you have diabetes, you have a blood pressure, you have depression, you have anxiety, all these different diseases and your genes are still the same. As a matter of fact, even after you die and you were to do a genetic test or your DNA 100 years after you die, it's still the same DNA. So DNA can't even tell you you're dead or alive, let alone are you becoming healthier or sicker. And that's a fundamental problem that we have to actually understand. A lot of us who are non technical basically says what is this thing you're talking about? Well, interesting thing is think about your own body, every part of our body, from my hair, my skin, my eyes, my heart, my lungs, my kidney, my nails, everything is identical. DNA, it's the same cell, that's my, you know, hair and everything. Then why is it that we don't have the eyes growing on my finger and the nails growing on my head? It's the same genes. Well, guess what? When some genes are turned on, some genes are turned off. They can become hair and the same type of thing, they can become nail, they can become skin, they can become hard, they can become kidney, they can become neurons. Basically think of your genes as an Alphabet. But you get to decide the story you're going to write with that Alphabet and you control that story that you're writing. And those are the choices we make every day. Now when we are in the mother's womb, generally it is believed that you are living in a sterile environment. And as the baby is going through the birth canal, it gets an exposure to this microbiome. And this microbiome becomes such a key part of who we are. So much. So As I said, 99% of all the genes that are in our body are actually from these microbes that live in our gut, in our mouth, all over our skin. And these microbes to large extent are co evolved with us. But if you look at from their perspective, they are 100 trillion of them with a little bit of a sprinkle of a human genes in them, right? So we are primarily a microbial, microbial ecosystem. Walking, talking microbial ecosystem. And it occurred to me one day that what if we were talking to microbes, how would they think of humans like us? And it, you know, so here is the story that Vishen and I are sharing with Vishen that imagine, you know, these microbes, these viruses, these fungi, these bacteria, they have been around on planet Earth for three and a half billion years. We humans are very recent, couple of hundred thousand years old phenomena, right? Now imagine how did human come to be. And this is how the thought went through my mind. One day all these microbes got together and said, we are sick and tired of living in Africa. We want to take over the world. And they all looked at each other and it's always the young ones that have the bright answer. Young one raises a hand and says, master, I know exactly what to do. What do you think we should do, Master, what if we can create something bipedal and the trillions of us, hundreds of trillions of us, could live inside this bipedal thing. And this bipedal thing is going to go all over the world, it's going to poop everywhere, it's going to spread us around and we can absolutely take over the world. And next thing they know, they created this bipedal species and they all said let's call that human. And they start screaming, humans, humans, humans.

Right?

And this is what humans are going to do for us to take over the world. And as the humans were evolving, suddenly one of the young ones thought, oh my God, what have we done? Just like today, there are many of us are so worried about AI and we wonder what if AI becomes smarter than us? Would AI take over? And what's going to happen to humans? Are we humans going to completely disappear? Are we going to completely become useless? And these microbes were worried, oh my God, what have we done? So they called the meeting and they call the master. Master, we are really worried. What have, what are you worried about? Master, these humans are starting to develop the brain. And what if one day they become smarter than us and they're going to start controlling us instead of us controlling them? Master says, don't you worry one bit about it. Master, what have you done? Well, guess what? The 39 trillion of us are living in their gut. We put a direct connection to their from gut to right to their brain. And these humans, being as naive as they are, they call that a vagus nerve. Thinking, just naming after Las Vegas. What happens in the gut is going to stay in the gut. They're so nice, they don't understand what happens to the gut goes everywhere. Master, that is brilliant. But how do we make sure that they're going to feed us right? Well guess what? We control their appetite. So we tell them when we are hungry, we release the hormone called ghrelin. They become hungry and they feed us. We tell them what we want. So they if we want a lot of sugar, we're going to make them crave sugar. We're going to control their craving. And when we get full, we tell them we release the hormone called leptin and say we are done, stop eating now. And that's how we control them. But Master, Master, what if they don't treat us right? Well guess what? Inside their own cell, this thing they call mitochondria, they keep forgetting this is our brother bacteria that is inside their own cell. It has its own DNA. Anytime they don't treat us right, we tell our brother to shut down their energy. Remember the mitochondria, the energy factory? This is how they control us. So now from their perspective, we are simply the puppet and these microbes are the puppet masters. But now this is a tongue in cheek story vision. But it has all the scientific truth to it. Like.

Yes, absolutely. That stuff that you said about how it can shut down the energy in your body by shutting down your mitochondria is basic science that you're right. So often when we feel low energy and we don't have the energy to do the things we need to do, it is because of what's going on in our gut.

That's right, innovation. If you think about it, what happens if the gut causes us to have mood change, depression and anxiety? So if you were to just simply google depression and microbiome anxiety and microbiome addiction and microbiome Parkinson's and microbiome cancer and microbiome Alzheimer's and microbiome, you will see that every single disease bar in most of the chronic diseases. Right? You can look at your heart disease, obesity, diabetes. These are all the diseases that are actually controlled or at least large extent associated with what happens in your micro microbial community, in your gut and in your mouth. And that's the key to understanding that our health is really their health. When we live in homeostasis, we are actually our bodies at ease. When our body is no longer in homeostasis, it's in dysbiosis, it has dis ease. And dis ease is what we call disease. And what if we can actually understand it and prevent it and reverse it?

Disease. You're such a poetic teacher. I love the way you make a point. Naveen, you're a great spokesman for your company.

Thank you.

Okay, now I. I want you to go further because yeah, energy is one thing. Let's talk about emotion.

Right.

October, this past October was International Mental Health Month. And one of the things that we are seeing in the world today is that there is a huge increase in depression. Suicide among teenagers is up 300%. That's very concerning to a father like me who has teenagers. There's something about a microbiome that's influencing our state of mind. Let's talk about that. Yes.

So first of all, just remember, first of all, it's an epidemic. It's an epidemic of mental health. It's an epidemic of chronic diseases. We as humans are facing, our fellow humans are finding themselves in a place where they feel Their life is helpless and hopeless. And what we are now learning is it is actually how your gut microbiome, when they are, they cause inflammation in the gut. You have something called a leaky gut. And when you have a leaky gut, these microbes are able to cross the border from your gut all the way to into your blood. And that causes a massive amount of chronic inflammation and which is a root cause of many of these diseases. In fact, now it is shown that depression is not only caused by the gut microbiome. You can change your diet and in fact not only reduce the symptoms of depression, you can reverse depression and anxiety. As a matter of fact, Vishen, we just published a paper that clearly shows that people, if they eat the food and take the supplements, that reduces the inflammation in their body. And now the point I want to make here is that there is no one single thing that is good for everyone. And we're going to come back to it. I just want people to know there is. What causes inflammation in your body is different from what causes the inflammation in my body. The same food. If you and I eat the same food, we may have a completely different outcome. So now once you have this inflammation, this is the root cause of a mental disease, right? So I feel for parents, I feel for the children who find themselves in this situation where they are even thinking or considering, you know, committing suicide. This is the last thing a human body wants to do is when it feels so helpless and hopeless. And we really hope one day we as fellow humans find ourselves enough empathy to take care of this problem so we never have to see anyone ever suffer from these diseases.

I see, I see now. Now Naveen, could you talk a little bit about the science behind this, the technologies? Because the technology that powers biome you actually discovered at the Los Alamos Science Laboratory, the same place where the atomic bomb was created. It was a US government funded technology. Tell us that story because I think for many people here it's fascinating to understand the confluence of genetic testing and AI.

So first of all, as I mentioned earlier, that once we realize that our genes don't change, when you develop these diseases, whether it's obesity, diabetes, depression, anxiety or even aging, our genes don't change. And we realize what is constantly changing is our gene expression. That means how genes are turned on and how genes are turned off. In technical terms, we call that epigenetics.

Right?

So our RNA is always changing, our DNA never changes. And it occurred to us, what if we can actually measure the rna but no company has ever done it because it was such a difficult problem. And I went around looking at literally every university, all the NASA I was at NASA Houston, NASA jpl, NASA Kennedy Space center, went to Lawrence Berkeley, Lawrence Livermore and I went to Stanford University, I went to mit, I went to Harvard and finally I was at Los Alamos National Lab. And they were working on a biodefense program. And the problem they were trying to solve was very similar which is what if there was a terrorism in our great country and if it is, how would we protect our citizens? They needed to know what just happened, how these microbes not who they are but what they are actually producing and what is it that doing to the human body so that they can create antidote and they develop this RNA technology that allows them to not only understand the human gene expression but fundamentally. The second part that was really critical is we all have the microbiome. We can have the identical species into you and I vishen but in your gut, depending on the environment it can do something really good and beneficial to you. And the same species, if I have a toxic environment, the same species can produce toxins in my body, right? So same Akkermansia that can be a probiotic for you can be the same Ekermansia that can cause Ms. In my body. So it is not the organism that is good or bad, it is the behavior that is good or bad based on the environment they find themselves in. Now once we found the technology mission it took us about almost a year to get ourselves in perpetual exclusive license so we can help the humanity live a disease free life. And that was the only reason they gave the license to us was because we absolutely promised them that we are going to focus on simply making humanity better. We are going to stay focused on investing all of our resources and keeping the humans from getting sick avoiding cancer one day able to live a life where being sick is truly a matter of choice we make every day, not a matter of bad luck making illness optional.

Beautifully said Naveen, thank you. Now in terms of now what you said, there's a very bold claim, right? Like what you're seeking to do is make illness optional so that we we're not just hit by by an illness. We get to choose how we want to live. And recently Biome received FDA approval for really interesting technology to to detect throat cancer. Tell us about that.

So again now just to give you an idea Wyoming started out looking at your gut. Then they started to look at the gut and a fingerprint blood to what happens in the gut, how it Impacts the inflammation, all the psycho body, what is happening to your mind. And then we realized we digested the nutrition. So your oral microbiome is turning out to be just as important as your gut microbiome. And what we realized to cause diabetes, Alzheimer's, dementia, heart disease and by the way also sexual health because most of the nitric oxide is produced by oral microbiome. So once we realize, we said look, what if we can analyze your saliva, your finger prick, blood and your touch of your stool we will know everything that's happening on the top of the tube, bottom of the tube and, and the other side of the tube. And now we have analyzed over 700,000 samples. We have now look at the number, the RPI. And once we do that a couple of things happen. We can tell you what is happening in your body. So what is your biological age? So Vishen, I know you're probably least 20 years younger than your biological age, right? So I am 64 and biologically I am now down to 52. Now it will tell you your gut health, it'll tell you your oral health, it will tell you your cognitive health, it'll tell you your cardiac health. Then it tells you hey, don't eat avocado because your uric acid production is too high is going to end up causing you gout. Most people will tell you eat broccoli. I'm telling you broccoli is not good for you right now because broccoli contains a lot of sulfate and your sulfide production is already too high causing lot of inflammation. Cut down on broccoli, cut down on cabbage and brussels sprout. And by the way your bile acid production is too high. Don't take turmeric. Tell that to an Indian, right? But that is what happens is that that bile acid production is going to cause problem if you're eating turmeric. And you can go on and on. Same thing for supplements. Just because it doesn't mean all supplements are healthy for you. When you are taking a supplement like vitamin B3, you shouldn't be taking that. When you have high uric acid production. Most people tell you to take NAD to live longer without telling you that NAD has been shown to cause progression of cancer in many people. So the same thing that is good for one person can actually be harmful. Now coming back to it, now that we analyze 52, quadrillion biological data point Vishen, we were able to now find the exact biomarkers that are associated with right at the onset there's pre stage one cancer in your mouth or your throat so we can detect the lesions. Any stage one cancer in your mouth or throat with 95% specificity and 90% sensitivity. There is no other cancer test that can do that. And FDA gave us a thing called Breakthrough Device designation. And what the Breakthrough device designation means is nothing like this has ever existed. It's going to save people's life and they work with you to give you an accelerated approval. Now that is the kind of thing someone like me would have never thought that it was ever possible that when we set out to help people live healthier that one day we're going to find early signals for cancer. And vishen it was very meaningful to me because I lost my dad to cancer and we could not discover his cancer unless he had a stage four cancer. Now imagine if something like this existed. If we had detected his cancer stage one, he would still be with us. So having lost, it was meaningful for me to actually have a test that will detect these early cancer sites.

Thank you.

For all cancers, all diseases, whether it is IBD, whether it's Nash, NAFLD, M Cs. What if we can detect them early like Alzheimer's one day actually be able to prevent them and reverse them.

Naveen, sorry to interrupt you for a second. There is. There seems to be an Internet issue from your end. So what I'm going to do is I'm just going to re. Reorganize our flow just a little bit so that people can, can, can stay tuned. I'm going to quickly show people biome. I'm going to show people my biome. My. My Biome Dashboard. So you kind of get an idea of what the biome solution is right now again, we're not here to sell you biome. We don't get an affiliate fee for selling biome. That's not the point. I'm simply showing you physically what the Biome dashboard looks like so you understand what Naveen is saying. Then we'll come back to Naveen and then we'll also then talk about the certification that we have. So first let me share with you the VIOME webpage. V I O M E. That's where I am right now. So you can see VIOME is actually a kit. And the full body intelligence kit uses a saliva sample, a blood sample and then a stool sample. And then they analyze these samples. I don't know if you guys caught it earlier because Naveen broke off, but Naveen's company has tested 700,000 people and they look at patents they use, they Deploy AI to look at patents. Naveen has hired some of the top AI engineers in the world, including the. The guy who led the development of IBM Watson, which is one of the. The very first powerful super AIs. Now, based on that, you get an app. And the app is now able to tell you what you need to avoid and what you should be taking. This is where precision nutrition comes in. So this is. This is mine. Okay. So you can see, it's telling me the. The supplements I need to take. Okay, sorry, let me just close my window for a second. It's telling me the supplements I need to take. It's telling me There are 35 foods I need to avoid, 57 supplement ingredients I need to look at. There are 35 foods that are superfoods for me. It doesn't mean it'll be a superfood for you, but it's a superfood for me. Now. When I took this test, I took this test in February. Back then, I was on a keto diet for one month. And I shouldn't have done that completely because keto diets can actually be damaging. And so when I took this test, my cellular and energy efficiency was not optimal. It may have been the result of being on that keto diet, but I wanted to experiment and see what would happen. And then here it tells me what foods to avoid. So I always thought bell peppers were great for me. Apparently I needed to avoid bell peppers. This was really disappointing. It told me I needed to avoid steak. I love steak. And so this kind of made my heart break a little. But again, it doesn't mean that you avoid this for the rest of your life sometimes. As you can see, this is for six months. So it's extremely precise. Naveen, would you like to add anything here? Yeah.

First of all, I'm sorry, Vishen, I don't know what happened to my Internet. I don't know where I got cut off. We were talking about. Did you hear about the cancer part and everything or you lost me there?

We did. We did. We lost. About your father being able. How proud you were that you were able to help alleviate cancer for most people. Yes.

So I think one of the things interesting here is that as you start to see, this thing is personalized for you, and after six months, you should retest to find out how your microbes have changed so that the food that were bad for you or avoid for you can actually become okay for you. And the foods that were okay if you ate too much, that things may change. So literally, it's always changing as your body is adapting. Now more important part really is that as you see vishen your recommendation, every ingredient had the dosage. Now we actually for the first time were able to build a custom machine and robotics that is able to deliver a formula that is made for each individual with only the ingredients that you need and only in the doses that you need. So we literally make that capsule every month for you and ship them to you. And as your body changes, we change your formula and you get a custom made precision supplements for you. We also give you the personalized probiotics and prebiotics. We also give you the personalized autologies to adjust your oral microbiome. And very soon we're going to have a personalized toothpaste that is going to be designed for your oral Microbiome, for your a.m. and p.m. to adjust your oral microbiome. Because that is so important for human health. And our goal really is again to understand what changes in the human body at the onset and during the progression of these diseases so we can prevent them and hopefully stop the progression and reverse thyroid.

So. So one thing I want people to understand, this isn't just about gut. What you said about oral microbiome is really interesting. Naveen, in our last call we shared an interesting study that showed that people who use Listerine or any type of mouthwash, they kill their oral microbiome, which affects the food they chew, especially vegetables, and leads to a 55% increase in risk for diabetes. Could you talk about that? Of course.

So again, remember, you know, or your gut microbiome control your blood sugar. In fact, so much so that by analyzing your oral microbiome we can predict if you eat carrot, what is going to be your glucose response for each individual. So I can feed the same food to 10 people and all 10 will have a completely different glucose response to the same food. And we are able to now predict that. And based on that, we can say, hey, you can eat bread but don't eat banana, or you can eat banana but don't eat bread. And we know that intuitively. A lot of us know people who eat bread and pasta every day and never get fat. And some of us can just smell bread and get fat. Why is that? It is our microbiome that is actually controlling our blood sugar. And I think, you know, you and I last time talked about this drug called Ozempic. Everyone is actually now taking Ozempic to lose weight. What they don't realize is your body already has the Ozempic in the Body it is. Ozempic is basically a GLP1 drug. Now imagine what if you can eat the right fiber, not any fiber, the right fiber for your microbiome. And your microbiome actually ferment the fiber. Just so you know, the human body cannot not digest fiber, so your microbes in your gut ferment the fiber in turn. They release what once we feed them. Right. They release short chain fatty acid. And one of the component is butylate. When the body senses Butyrate, it releases GLP1, which is the same drug as Ozempic. So you can naturally lose weight if you eat the right food. And that's the trick is, right. That you don't have to take drugs if you can provide the food which is itself can be the medicine.

Exactly. And the problem happening in the world today is that the nutritional density of our food is dropping. Tell us about the research on avocados. You had mentioned how avocados today have a fraction of the nutrition of avocados from.

Yeah. So the way we are growing food now, our soil is being depleted of all the nutrition. We are in fact killing all the microbiome in the soil. We're using pesticide, insecticide, we're using these fertilizers, and we are spraying the things with all kinds of antibiotics. And what's happening is that once we don't have a nutrition in the soil, it takes eight avocados today to get the same nutrition that we did with one avocado just 20 years.

Wow. Right?

It is. And by the way, this is true now for almost every. It is not just that. Think about how we are actually producing our meat. We are feeding these cows with tons of antibiotics and hormones. Why do we do that? Number one, because they live in such close quarters to protect them from infection. But more importantly, when we give them antibiotics, we kill their gut microbiome. What happens? They get fat. And the fatter the cow, more meat. It is. So we literally are giving them antibiotics to make them fat. What happens when we eat that meat? We get that antibiotic, it kills our gut microbiome. And what happens to us? We get fat now. Right. Unfortunately, that is a pandemic or that's an epidemic we have to actually solve.

Absolutely, absolutely. And so meets. I know in 1932, the US Senate issued a warning about how nutritional density in American foods are falling. And that was 1932. That was 90 years ago. This problem has persisted for over 90 years. And now we're beginning to see these huge negative effects in terms of Human health, right? Rising obesity. I come from the country of Malaysia. In my country, 47 of adults over 18 are clinically obese.

And it would not have been true 50 years ago. That was not true, right?

Yeah, it wasn't true. It wasn't true. It's, it's, it's growing, it's hurting our next generation. So if we don't change our decision process for food, if we don't start to understand our gut microbiome, we actually pass on this, this, this lack of knowledge to our kids. And our kids are growing up in a world where they don't, they don't have the nutritional density I had growing up in the 80s from the foods I was getting from the farmer's market. Farmers market in my country have disappeared. We now shop from American style grocery stores. Right. And so it's so important that we educate ourselves and then we pass this knowledge on to the next generation. Now that said, let's go on, Naveen, to and everyone else, let's go on to the mindvalley Nutrition Coach certification. This is where everything comes together. So I want to take you on a quick journey of how the certification works, what you're going to learn, what this covers. Ajit and Naveen will be there to answer your questions. Now I see some of you raising your hand. Please, if you can. If you have questions, post it in the Q and A. We have a Q and A enabled on zoom. And what you will see is that you can post questions and you can, I'm going to allow you to also upload questions. So if you see a question that you really like, you can give it an upvote and we will use that democratic way of picking the questions that we will be answering. Okay. You can ask questions about anything. We'll go with the democratic method of the upvote. So post a question or upvote the question. Now let's talk about MindValley Bio Certified Nutrition coach. So firstly, just confirming Ajit Naveen, you can see my screen right now. There's a picture of me interviewing Naveen on stage. All good?

Yes. Yes.

Right. Okay, perfect. So thank you, Naveen, Ajit, for sharing your wisdom. In summary, we have an epidemic of chronic illness. And what we are seeing is that is the ramifications of this. 40% of the U.S. population has been categorized as obese. By 2050, about half of adults will have at least one chronic disease. By 2035, 36% of adults over 50 will have at least 1 chronic disease. And so our nutrition model that comes from the 70s, the food pyramid that we learned in our schools, no matter in what country in the world you're in, isn't true. It doesn't take into account a lot of modern scientific knowledge. Governments adapt very slowly. So it's up to us to keep ourselves educated. Now, to compound this problem, we have a medical industry that makes money when we are sick. No one makes money when you're healthy. You might remember this famous quote by Deepak Chopra. The day we can make more money from curing cancer than maintaining cancer will be the day we find a cure for cancer. Right? Naveen, would you care to speak about this?

Well, I think this, as you know, it is fundamentally such a tragedy, such a tragedy to humanity that in the medical industrial complex, everyone makes money. So think about it. When you are sick, your doctor is happy that you are sick because they make money. Your hospital makes more money. The pharmacies make more money. The pharmaceutical companies make money. When you have a chronic disease, and especially when you're young and have a chronic disease, they probably have a slot machine catching the lifetime subscriber coming up. You literally, they suppress the symptom rather than understanding the root cause of the disease. So they can actually cure you. If you have an autoimmune disease, they have no reason to understand what's causing the autoimmune. Why is your immune system attacking your body? This. Please suppress the immune system. And now you have to take that drug for rest of your life. That has to stop, right? We don't stop that. What happens is every drug we take, guess what? They have drugs for all three. And the minute you take those three drugs, now you have nine side effects. They have drug for all nine. And by the time you get to our age, we are popping more pills than blueberries. And that's where the problem starts.

You're right. It is. It is. It is insanity. It's absolutely insanity. Right now. Our goal here is to teach people to take control of our own health so that we can pass this knowledge, this wisdom to our children and grandchildren who are growing up in a world with increasingly poorer quality of soil, increasingly lower nutritional density. And this is affecting us in many profound ways. Another recent study shows that among men, testosterone levels globally are down 50% of what it was in the 1980s. Our environments are hurting our body. Now, the solution, one of the solutions is precision nutrition. Okay? And so, Naveen, I'd love for you to talk about very simply, we don't have to go through every point on this slide, but just the Difference between precision and traditional nutrition.

Well, the traditional nutrition as you pointed out basically believes that there is a one size fits all diet. That means everyone can eat the same food and somehow they can magically all be healthy. And what we are realizing is that our microbiome and our gene expression actually can change not only for us. So it's not just what is right for Vishen versus what's right for Naveen. Our bodies are changing. So even the foods that were healthy for us intuitively vision many times we used to like a food that used to be just fine and you know, and later we realized oh my God, I feel bloated every time I eat that food. What happened? It was totally fine before, right. So I think this idea of a single one silver bullet that is going to keep us healthy, one silver bullet that is going to actually cure all diseases, that is never going to happen. We are going to find 8 billion people and they're going to be 8 billion diets, 8 billion different formula for supplements that are going to be unique for each individual because we are not the same and not the same and we keep constantly changing. So we have to adapt our diet and our supplements to who we are at that point. And understanding our body without understanding our body, simply treating our body like a black box cannot work. We have to know what's happening in the body without measuring it. You can change it, right?

Right. Now we go on to the next one. And this has to do with with, with data science. 700,000 people have taken a biome test and the data that we get helps improve the precision for future people. So the more people who do biome, the more accurate the the recommendations become. Naveen.

That's correct. So not only we have now published the studies where we showed that people who actually take our, you know, recommended diet and supplements, their type 2 diabetes, HbA1c came down by 30%. Their anxiety came down by 37%. Their depression PHQ9 came down by over 40% and their IBS SSS symptoms came down by almost 40%. Right. So these are just the beginning of the things. Now we are doing the same type of thing with the placebo controlled studies. So same thing we are seeing is that when you take two groups of people, give them one group precision supplement and other group you do not. And what we saw was 69.8% of the people who got precision supplement their depression level came down from high and moderate to no or low depression compared to 16.7% of the people in the control group.

I See, that's fascinating. So we covered what is the microbiome. And one of the things that if it's not apparently clear is this. 95 of diseases are linked to the microbiome. Not just, it's not just causing the diseases but related in the microbiome is not just related to causing the disease, but treating the disease. And this is where there's a lot of hope for humanity. 90 for example, 90% of body serotonin is produced in the gut by your gut microbiome. If your body isn't making enough serotonin, you're going to feel depressed. So we're not just talking about physical ailments, we're talking about mental ailments too. Naveen.

Yes, and this is really interesting is that not just the serotonin, also 70% of our immune system lies along our gut lining. And that's the reason why our immune system and our microbes actually train each other. So our microbes tell the immune system what's a friend and a fool. And when your microbiome is in dysbiosis, this linkage or this co evolution or this homeostasis fails. And that's when we start to start to develop the chronic diseases, including autoimmune diseases. So when we have inflammation in our gut, we have leaky gut. Similarly when we have inflammation in our mouth, we have a leaky gums. And now the microbes from the mouth are going into your blood and in fact now they have shown people with Alzheimer, they have these p. Gingivitis, one of the oral microbiome and it produces something called ginger pain that is now found in the people who groups make nitric oxide that helps with your heart disease and also improves your sexual health. So if you want to improve your sexual health, get a good oral microbiome. So in fact by analyzing your good, analyzing your microbiome we can tell you if your partner is truly a heartbreaker because they can literally break your heart.

Wow. That, that is, that's insane. It's incredible how, how, how bizarrely connected all of this is. Okay, so precision nutrition leads to better gut health, which leads to disease prevention and longevity, which leads to a better gut microbiome which leads to precision nutrition. So it's, it's a beautiful cycle. Naveen, this slide is so complex I can't explain it. You want to take a stab at it? Yeah.

I think basically what it's showing is this is a research paper that came out that how your gut microbiome and what gut microbiome produce is called metabolites. You know, so gut microbiome, poop in technical words called metabolite. And what they're showing on the left hand side is all the different diseases. So whether it's a rheumatoid arthritis, whether it's the type 1 diabetes, eczema, asthma, IBD, IBS, cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes and literally NAFLD, NASH, CBD cardiovascular disease, men's health, all of these things are directly connected to what, what gut microbes are doing in your gut. And that's by the way, this is research, is a graph from a research paper and I think vision you can, we can share this research paper with the audience if they want. But this is unbelievable to show that every disease that we thought was completely different, like your skin disease or heart disease or type 1 disease or autoimmune disease, they're all connected to the same thing.

Right? Right. So, so it's true our DNA is static. Right? So when you hear people say that human beings are relatively the same, therefore diets that work for one person work for another person. Yes, in true we are all the same, we are all human. But what we are talking about here is the 4% of us that is non human. That is what is different. And that's where precision nutrition really matters. This is where the Mindvalley volume Certified Nutrition Coach is a new program in Mindvalley where you learn to become a precision nutrition coach. There may be people here who are nutrition coaches and congratulations. I think it's great to be a nutrition coach but I bet you that when you learn nutrition you learned it from an older methodology, probably a methodology that was derived in the 60s or 70s that doesn't really take into account the microbiome. And it may be a good time to really update that knowledge so that you can bring the latest science to your clients. So what we have put Together is a 12 week, 3 month online certification program where you learn from Naveen, from Naveen scientists and from Ajit Nabalka. Ajit brings in the concepts of coaching. Right. So it's not just about understanding the microbiome, it's understanding how to deploy this knowledge to change a human being's life. Ajit, would you like to add anything here?

Absolutely. Actually it's so interesting because I'm seeing some of the questions coming based like, hey, what if my partner doesn't want to be a participant of this? What if my husband or wife doesn't want to be a part of this? What if I want to take the test but at the same point in time, I might not be able to take it or what to do after. And that's really where certification and nutrition comes in. You see, the challenge that we have is a lot of times we take a really high concept, really scientific concept and we go, all right, let's do this. And we forget that while yes, it's a beautiful scientific concept and it'll help us, the real change happens in implementation of it. The real change happen in being able to change our habits, our behaviors, ourselves around it. And most importantly, especially when it comes down to nutrition, because it's your day to day life, it's widely and very deeply impacted with people you hang out with. So you could want to eat the healthiest of foods and your wife doesn't really consider that or your husband doesn't really consider that. And now you are in a mess. This is also why a lot of times you may take the test, you may get the recommendations, but you'll find yourself not following through on them. You may have been living in that circumstance right now where you know, I know what is the right thing to do. I know I can feel it in my body. But you're not doing it. And that's where coaching comes in. Coaching, firstly yourself. Because self coaching is the greatest asset you can have because it allows you to be able to observe yourself and make changes that actually stick. Most of us have great ideas, but we don't know how to get these ideas to stick. That's what you learn when you learn how to coach yourself and then say your partner is not supportive of you. What if you could coach them? Say you have clients and friends and people that you want to influence, people that want to actually create this change in their lives. This is where your coaching abilities kick in. This is where you are able to really impact society around you. See, this knowledge that you get from the YOM Test. Yes. Is fundamental to bring this change. Without precision nutrition, you will end up giving generic advice. It doesn't work. We have already established that.

So thank you.

The biggest change happens when you're able to get somebody to actually do it.

Thank you. I was going to share a simple statistic here. So 50% of people who take a coaching certification from Mindvalley do it not because they want to go out there and work with a client, but do it because they want to apply it to themselves and their family. I was one of these people, right? Like I got certified as a Mindvalley fitness trainer. I, I have no intention. I'm too busy. I'm not going to go out there and train people in the gym. But you know what? I was able to use that to transform my health. I went from, from like 22 body fat to 14 body fat. And then I was able to transform my father's health. I was able to get my father who had difficulty, he's mid-70s, difficulty climbing upstairs to increase his leg strength from being able to bench press 80kg to 140kg. Right. So I did it because I wanted to be able to help my dad. And so there are many different reasons people will do it. Let's break it down. So this could be for you if you're looking to transform your own health. But it could be for you if you are a, if you're a health professional, an existing coach, maybe a fitness coach, maybe a hollow body coach, maybe you're a life coach and you want to bring a different dimension to your clients. If you're a fitness coach. Well, adding nutrition coaching means that you have a different dimension you can use to help your clients. Now if you're a life coach or a mindset coach, this is also really important. Remember all the data we shared on how nutrition improves your, your mental well being and your emotional states. You can basically create transformations in your clients happiness levels by teaching them how to work with their, their, their, their precision nutrition of their gut. Now a third one is maybe you have loved ones that you want to help. It could be your children, it could be family members who, who are sick. It could be your community. A lot of teachers, Even managers or CEOs take MindValley certifications because they want to bring it to their team. We have a lot of CEOs for example, who learn Mindvalley business coaching or Mindvalley life coaching so that they can help coach their team. Because if you, if you're in any position of leadership, you want to be able to elevate each other. And finally, maybe you're a coach in a different field. Maybe you're a consultant, maybe you are a therapist. You want to expand your portfolio of services. This might be right for you because it's cutting edge, it's new and you're working with the two leading companies in the field. Mindvalley Leading Company and Transformation Biome Leading Company in Microbiome. So you learn to transform yourself, transform your loved ones and transform clients as a coach. So this is really, it's a beautiful opportunity. Now we already shared this slide and we've given you an idea of what volume is about. So we'll, we'll pass. We'll pass this. So Naveen, would you talk about this aspect for a moment?

Absolutely, absolutely. So most of the time people say well I do the blood test, I got my blood test and don't I know everything about myself that I need to know. Well guess what? You may get the hundred data points, you may get your cholesterol, the low, you know, LDL, HDL triglyceride and you know, glucose, HbA1c hundred things. Guess what? When we look at your body we are looking at tens of millions. As a matter of fact it's hundreds of millions of data points per person. We get 10 million data points just from your oral microbiome. And by looking at your oral microbiome, gut microbiome and your RNA of your mitochondria, RNA of your human blood, everything combined, we're looking at hundreds of millions of data points that we analyze. And I think Vishen, I was just watching some of the questions. They are two big questions, they are two theme and maybe I just want to answer them. People are asking hey, I can't get WYOM in my country. And there are two ways of doing that. So yes we sell them today in 18 countries but you can get a forwarding address in US so just Google get forwarding international address and there are hundreds of companies, they can actually you can get a US address and they'll forward the Wyoming test to you. And the second question is can I become a coach in Europe? Can I become a coach in other countries where the Wyoming may not be available? And I think Vishen you're going to talk about that how once you become a coach. Okay later but just want to give you that idea. So this is really interesting is that simply doing a blood test gives you very, very small window into your body. By doing a biome test you are actually looking at holistically everything that's happening your body. And that's why it's called full body intelligence.

Perfect. Okay. So these are the areas that viome focuses on. And so as you can see again it's not, it goes way beyond nutrition. Right Naveen? Yes.

It is obviously your biological age. Who doesn't want to be younger? Not because you're not aging old but my biological age that's 52. Now I want that to be down to 40 because to me the most important thing is what is my body is feeling as an age. And if I'm 70 years old and my biological age is 40, my wife is happy because she married a young man. And that is Literally what we should all be aiming for is to constantly age chronologically, but biologically, continue to reduce your biological age so we can stay healthy, understand what causing inflammation in our body and get rid of it, improve our cognitive habits, improve our immune health so we don't fall for flu and God forbid, Covid.

Beautiful. Okay, so one of the things about volume that I want you to understand this, so you got to understand, if you're a YM coach, you're basically partnered with mindvalley and Bio. Mindvalley trains you as a coach. Vaio helps send you clients. So, but first I want to understand, I want to explain how Volume works. There are two Volume products. It's not one. There are two. One is the testing, right? So people send their samples, they get a test back, and I showed you, you get an online panel and you get an app, and it tells you what to eat, what, what to avoid. And that's super, super useful. But there's a second Biome product where you can get customized supplements. So Biome actually prepares these bottles of supplements to you fully customized, and it ships it out to its clients. So these are two different things. Now biome has roughly 10 to 15,000 people a month sign up for their services. And what Naveen observed is that of these 10 to 15,000 people a month who were signing up, many of them would go back to volume and said, hey, look, I love this, but I'm the type of person that needs a coach. So let me share a really interesting statistic about human behavior. 40% of people out there, their behavior is that they are highly conscious, highly good, highly committed human beings, but they will fail commitments to themselves. They need a coach. There's a, there's a, there's a whole book about this called the four tendencies. And it says that 40 of the human population, as amazing as they are, they are so good to other people, but they will not hold up commitments to themselves. And so we see a large number of people, they get their Biome test results, they know the foods they need to eat. They, they, they, they might sign up for the supplements, but they fail to act on it. They will show up for their son or daughter. They will show up to help a sick parent, but they won't show up for themselves. It is 40% of the population, okay? So these people often write back to, to Naveen and they say, hey, can you connect me with a bio coach? So Naveen didn't have any coaches trained. It was all a digital system. And that's when Naveen and Ajit came together and said, let's, let's start working with Mindvalley to train coaches. So Vayo ends up sending clients who need coaches to the people that we are training. And that's why this is such a beautiful relationship. You, you can go out there and you can get your own clients, but our best coaches will get recommended clients from Biome. Okay. And one of your jobs as a coach is to, is it's obviously this also benefits volume. You'd be recommending to your, to your clients to do the Biome test. And then based on the test results, you'll be able to work with your clients to guide them through completely transforming their health. And the VOLUME test takes the guesswork out of what foods and supplements you and your clients should take as a, as a result, you end up mastering the ultimate professional expertise for creating rapid and lifelong health breakthroughs in yourself and others. I've said this a long time. In today's world, the biggest flex is not the money in your bank account. It's not the fancy car you drive. The biggest flex is how many lives have you touched? That's the most important thing. How many lives have you touched? And I think that's the reason why so many people today become coaches. So when you get trained on this, you're able to help wonderful human beings improve their longevity. Take a precision nutrition approach, understand exactly what foods they should avoid or eat. You learn to help people control their weight, reverse chronic disease, increase energy levels, improve metabolic efficiency so they stay younger longer and they have more energy. Improve overall health, sleep better, look and feel younger, improve immunity. Now the program is delivered by some incredible instructors. Naveen, do you want to talk about some of your trainers? Let's start with Hillary Keser.

Of course, the Hillary is Hellary Kaiser is actually very smart. She is a masters in nutrition and she's our translation scientist. She is the one that actually makes sure that every recommendation that's coming out of AI is actually accurate. And so there's actually a lot of stuff that, to make sure that, that they spot check it. So Hillary, the nutritional scientist, next.

Okay, now the next one is Janelle Cornell. Yes.

Janelle is again, not only she's a registered dietitian, she has actually such a deep knowledge because she has been with Wyoming for six years and she's seen people transform. So she is a very, very good coach herself and she wants to impart all the knowledge she has learned as a coach to the other coaches about what makes the thing successful.

And then finally we have Dr. Grant Antoine.

Yes.

Grant Antoine is obviously a naturopath. He's a, he is certified. And more than anything else, he has practiced medicine for a very long time. So he brings the idea of how as a doctor you would look at this, how you would prescribe the right set of food as a medicine and right set of supplement and why they actually work. That means each ingredient, what actual pathways, genetic pathways, it's impacting. So it's not just simply a guesswork. They can say exactly why this disease is impacted by this pathway and this particular ingredient in the supplement or food is going to improve that.

I see. Great. And so, and then of course, Naveen is one of the trainers as well. So you learn from the brilliant Naveen. Now Ajit, let's talk about where you come in and what you'll be delivering.

I'll be taking all of the science that YM is going to bring to you, the test that you're going to take, how to read those results, how to implement those results in somebody's life and then make it more real for when it gets difficult, when it really. Let's say for example, if you are somebody who has, who has known that this is a particular food or a particular supplement you should take, but you see yourself falling off that wagon, which is why 40% of people like Vishen mentioned would be people that know this is right for them but won't be able to do I make that real for you. I make that habit forming, technology, psychology real for you. So we take the YM details and data and all of those different wonderful things and turn it into a way to really implement in your life, your family's life and the life of people that you are transforming as your clients. That's my job. You'll be working with me for about four weeks, learning the fundamentals of coaching and learning how to really create great habits fairly quickly so you can get these results for your clients in the first two, three months of engagement that you have with them.

Beautiful. Okay, now let's talk about the benefits. Ajit, would you be able to go through this?

Absolutely. So the first thing that you of course benefit from is you get to enhance your health by optimizing nutrition. We know we are what we eat, so if we eat right, we are going to of course have a better health. I already told you about the example of my wife getting pregnant simply by taking a Y test and changing her diet. Next slide. Transition to what your body needs instead of experimenting constantly. How many of us have been on a yo yo Diet, right? We hear the trend, we follow the trend. I'll do keto now. I'll be a carnivore now. I'll be a vegan now. None of it works because it's not precise to you. And that's why you're constantly on a yo yo diet. That is why constantly Americans or people around the globe are on yo yo diets is because we are just experimenting. We are saying let's throw something at this black box called my body. Instead of going, hey, what actually works? Next slide. Set and achieve your health goals for longevity, improve quality of life and increase vitality. See, I redid my test about 2 months ago with biome and in the last 2 months I have seen a dramatic increase in my energy because I am one of those guys who cannot eat broccoli and I was eating broccoli because my kids love broccoli. I'm feeding my kids broccoli and I, I, I started taking their tests because one is five and it's allowed to do tests for him. He's okay taking eating broccoli, but I shouldn't be eating it. So you absolutely feel a real experience of increase in energy levels just because you take this test and you are able to build these habits.

I wish I had your problem, Ajit. I frickin hate broccoli. I think it's absolutely disgusting, but I forced myself to eat it because I think it's healthy.

The next slide, make informed food and supplement choices that support energy levels, mental clarity and overall wellbeing. Who doesn't want that in today's time? Who is it like in on this call? Don't we all, can we all benefit with a little bit more clarity, a little bit more certainty, a little bit more focus and higher energy levels that we don't have to just keep chugging more caffeine so we can get through our day. Who would not want that? We all would want that. And you will find that once you start implementing y om tests. And I'm saying this from personal experience and after talking to people who have implemented in their life, my wife's experience, because she's a big ardent fan of this as well and she's practicing this every day. And we are habit coaching each other so we don't fall off the wagon, but we know when we do that we have increased energy levels and we don't have to drink coffee at all actually at this point. Next one is fostering deeper understanding of precision nutrition, which of course is vital and important and learn the art and science of habit change which is probably one of the most difficult things that you as a nutrition, as a fitness coach or any kind of coach you may struggle with. I found the thing that has helped again, again thousands of coaches to be able to have a better habit or any habit that they want to implement in their life. And we are going to give you that in just four weeks of training on how to take that for yourself and for people around you. Become more efficient nutrients nutrition coach and not a generic one where when somebody wants to hire you and they go well you're telling me to eat spinach like it says on Google Bebop. No, we don't want to be generalist. We want to be precision. We want to be precise. We want to talk to the person that will actually benefit them. So that's what you learn. You become more efficient, you get results faster and so you have long term clients. Next beautiful and uplift and support your loved ones. Let's be real. We all want to live an amazing life and we don't want it just for ourselves. We want it for our kids, we want it for our wives, we want it for our friends. Wives if you have many or husbands or partners. We want it for our friends. We want to live in an amazing community. We all want to have fun and live a great life. And you get to do that because now you understand nutrition in a precise way.

Okay. And let's look at some client stories. Right. There is a beautiful video here. I want to play two minutes and it shows about how lives are being changed through volume and precision nutrition. I've been struggling for many, many years with stomach issues and seen many, many different doctors, had different elimination diets, different tests, different supplements and nothing has seemed to work.

Even though I was doing everything to keep myself healthy fit, I was still suffering from anxiety, depression. I felt bloated most of the time. I've had acne for the past eight years.

It was getting to the point where.

I was feeling a little bit hopeless and every day was a struggle. I had juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. I have Hashimoto's disease.

I was experiencing a lot of digestive.

Problems, mainly gas, bloating and constipation, all the fun stuff.

I was diagnosed with colitis which ended.

Up in me getting emergency appendix removal surgery. I was classified as morbidly obese.

I had to change because I did.

Not want to die.

Why?

I'm co founder of one of the.

Largest nutrition companies in the world and we still couldn't figure it Out.

But Viome actually just said, this is what is happening in your gut. This is what your gut looks like. They sent over an in home kit.

Which was so easy.

It's great now to be able to type a food into the app and.

It'Ll come up and tell me whether.

I should be enjoying that food or.

Whether I should minimize my intake of that food.

What I discovered is that I was eating foods multiple times per day, every single day that were actually making me really sick.

My mental clarity came back, My physical energy came back. My depressive symptoms were gone. Less bloating. I lost a little bit of weight.

I have lost in total over 115 pounds. Just trusting the process, My acne completely went away. I started to lower my medications for.

Hashimoto's because my numbers are that great.

I was skeptical as well, and I'm happy that I stuck with it because it's the best I've ever felt in my entire life. Feeling like I actually have this tool. So, vine, you've changed change. Really, genuinely changed my life.

Beautiful. That always gets to me. And we have tons of other testimonials, but we're gonna, we're gonna skip through this. But you guys get the idea. It's really genuinely changing the lives of.

Hello, my name is.

So many people who had given up and it thought that their health was gone for a really long time running this message. So thank you for all of the people who shared those testimonials. Now let's, let's talk about how the program works. So it's a 12 week, three month certification program. The time obligation is three hours a week. Okay, so it's three hours a week minimum. Now, a lot of people put in extra hours as they practice coaching protocols and so on, but it's three hours minimum for, for 12 weeks. And the class kicks off really soon on November 13th, which is 10 days from now. Ajit, I'd love for you to talk about month by month, what we'll be covering.

Absolutely. So the first month we are going to focus on getting you to really understand about microbiome and precision nutrition. This is where you really get the understanding of how this all works and why it all works. You can go to the next slide. This is, this is just a breakdown of every week so we can go to the next slide. So I can talk about second month we focus on the YM solution. This is also the place where some of you have asked, hey, what if I don't have viome in my country and you can't do the forwarding address that Naveen said, which is fairly easy to do, but let's say you couldn't do that too. So we give you some of the ideas of how you could still do precision nutrition. It's not nearly as accurate as Wyome, so we're not recommending that. But we do give you some ideas of how to really utilize the biome solution. And also if you do absolutely need an alternative, if you really couldn't figure out a way what other things you can do to get ideas around how to find more precise nutrition for yourself, it's not nearly as accurate as viome, but we do give that to individuals that really, really couldn't figure it out. But we do. And this is also where we let's say for example, you go, hey, but the supplements doesn't ship internationally. Well, we tell you how to get those supplements or where those supplements are and how to really get them in your country or in your location. So all of that customization happens in the second month. So you can take everything that you learned about microbiome and precision nutrition and bring it to your implementable reality wherever you are in the world or for most parts of the world, which is the second month. And the third month is completely focused on learning nutritional coaching. So taking all of that information the first two months and turning it into coaching because this is one of that pieces that we know that 40%, maybe even more so people will not be able to follow through what they say they should be doing or what they know they should be doing. So this is where I come in. I work with you for four weeks where I really teach you the model of hits which is habits equals to identity, triggers and skills. And I show you exactly how to build each one of those so you can first change your life while being in the program, which is one of our matrix of success. Then it start implementing it for people around you so they can start to see those changes in their lives and eventually also start taking clients again. You get an opportunity to get these clients straight off the bat because volume needs you. Wyoming needs you. Coaches to be able to helping their existing clients.

Visha okay, so it's total three hours. Now I want to break down the hours so you know what to expect because each of those three hours a week is slightly different. The first one is a weekly pre recording training. So this is a beautiful video training prerecorded. In other words, you can watch it in your free time no matter where in the world you are. Okay, so that's the easy to follow weekly training. It'll be available on your mindvalley app or mindvalley Home. You don't need to get a different app then. The second hour every week is a live Q and A with one of the biome experts. This is where you've watched the pre recording. Everyone comes together and the lecturer is there to answer your questions. Hillary Grant and Janelle. If you cannot make the timing, it will be recorded and saved for you. But we encourage you to show up live because you meet other students and it's a great way to learn. And then the third hour is where you sign up for a coaching pod. This is where you take everything you've learned. You pair up with other students. Some pretend to be coaches, some pretend to be clients and you practice on each other so you become better at coaching. They are also weekly periodicals so that you are, you can keep track and see that you are learning. Now the weekly training is recorded. So as I said, if you can't make the exact time, it's okay. The Q A calls, they happen on Thursday, 4pm London. So the same time this webinar started, we found that 4pm London is the perfect global time. If you're in Hong Kong or Singapore, It's. It's around 10:11pm so you are, you're learning at night. If you're in, in Los Angeles, it's early in the morning. It's easy to attend. This spans the largest segment of the globe and the coaching pods you can actually choose different times to show up. You can go for multiple, but you can, but we have them at different times so there's flexibility. These are the times that these will be happening. Now, to really make this good, because Mindvalley is such a big company, we wanted to give you some bonuses so that this becomes a no brainer. The first bonus is that we notice that people fall in love with each other. They form such deep friendships when they're showing up for a coaching certification. And people want to meet in the real world. So every year we organize a massive three day event called Super Coach. It happens in Tallinn, Estonia, which is the beautiful city I live in. And hundreds to thousands of coaches come together for three weeks with me, Ajit and other speakers. You get a free ticket to this. It's a two thousand dollar ticket. It's an incredible event. These are the dates. June 29th to 30th, 2024. You don't have to attend if you don't want to, but if you want to come and meet Your fellow coaches, your fellow students and make deep friendships. This event is amazing. Absolutely amazing. Number two, we know that many of you want to build a coaching business. So you get three courses on how to build a business, market a business, market yourself so you can make money as a coach. Bonus three, because we really want you to be successful, you get a free ticket to Ajit's live webinar on building your coaching business. This is where Ajit's going to come on live. It's going to be in Jan. 2024 and he's going to teach you all the principles you need to know to build a thriving coaching business. Ajit has trained 12,000 coaches. He knows what makes a successful coach. Bonus four, you get listed. And when Viome or Mindvalley clients are looking for coaches, they happen to be in your city. We would be recommending you. Now, again, we cannot guarantee clients, right. But we do recommend that there will be a listing and people who are looking for coaches will be browsing that listing. Finally, big bonus number one, you get a free biome test. So Naveen, how much is the biome test?

299.

299. Right. So you'll, you'll get shipped a free biome test and you'll be able to, to get your own biome panel and understand how this works. Now, let's talk about money. Typically, nutrition coaches that we know take clients for two to three months of a transformation and they charge 2,000 for three months. One client can make you 2,000 in three months. And this is getting in a call with a client maybe two hours a week. Right. So nutrition coaching is a very, very, very like high paying field. I had one of my top employees actually leave Mindvalley because she became a nutrition coach. And you know, I was all in. I was, I was totally in, in support of her for doing that. And I remember after doing it for about six months, she came to me and I asked her how are things going? Because we were friends. And she said, vision. I, I love Mindvalley, I love you. But I can tell you this right now, I am making double what I was earning working for Mindvalley and I only work 10 to 15 hours a week. And I was very proud of her. Right. So being nutrition coach is a wonderful entrepreneurial venture. Now nutrition coaches can charge top dollar for their services. If you're looking at an hourly rate, it's 65 to 130 an hour. And what we are seeing is that coaching professions are projected to grow more and more people are going in here because there's a market for it, there are demands for it. Many companies are now hiring coaching. It's a growing industry. You get a certificate from Mindvalley and Bio that you can hang on your wall that gives you the right to charge as a nutrition coach. And this is the once in a year opportunity. We mean that because we're only training coaches. Now the next time we open this up, maybe about one year out. So this is everything you're getting if you put it all together, break it out into constituent part. Over 30 grand in value. What we charge is 2999, right. So 12 clients would pay off for this. We charge 2999. Now these are the countries in which this is available. But Naveen, I'd love for you to talk about this for a moment because this is a big question that I'm seeing in the Q and A. What countries people get the biome test kit shipped to them?

I think you listed them all of them right here.

Yeah, it's about 100 countries, right?

No, no, currently we ship to 18 countries. However, people from 106 countries actually use Wyoming. That means they get a forwarding address. They get them shipped to their friends and family somewhere else. Yeah, got it.

So these are so, so, so let me explain that. These are countries where you can easily get the volume kit shipped to but at the same time they're actually volume clients in 106 countries because many people use a forwarding address. Now you do not need to be in one of these countries to, to become a coach. Because for example, you could be in India, someone in Estonia is looking for a coach. The time zones are not very different. That person in Estonia can be referred to you as long as you guys both speak a similar language. Right. So you don't have to be in that country to be a coach. But of course if you are in this country, there's a slight, slight extra advantage. Now the next steps are this. We have 320 spots available right now. The reason we limit the spots is because we want to ensure we have enough clients for everyone. So we don't want to just train like 3,000 coaches, right. We want to make sure that we start with a small group. We, we, we, we have enough clients. We can really, really give you guys individualized attention. And that's why it's 320 spots to apply for a spot. It's a $500 application. If you get rejected, you get your 500 bucks back. The application takes how long? Ajit to fill out.

Like 4 minutes, 5 minutes.

Okay. Okay. Then you pay 2, 4. Then you pay the balance which is 2499. And if you cannot pay it in one lump sum, you can take a three month payment plan 949 for three months or a six month payment plan 499 for six months so you can pay in that payment plan. Now we want you to act fast. We have a huge audience. 1.17 million people are hearing about this. That's a large number of people relative to the spots which are available. Okay, so let's Summarize. The price is 2,999and you can sign up with a $500 deposit and an application which you can fill out really quickly. Take a picture of that QR code and you can get to the website where you can read about all the information, everything's written down and you can put in your application and reserve your spot for 500. Okay. Please do that before the spot sell out. Our last coaching program sold out. The one before that sold out. We always sell out our programs. So now let's go on to some of the top questions. So the first one is from Lisa Young. Naveen, this is for you. So will you be sending clients to new bio counselors?

Yes, that is exactly. The point is that as soon as we start to have any of our customers, any of our Wyoming customers who are looking for a client, we're going to refer them to one of the certification coaches.

Okay. The second question is from Jason. It's a very legit question. If the VIOME platform is so powerful and tells you everything that you need to know about customized nutrition, then what is a coach actually necessary for?

Can I address that? Yeah. So, so here's, here's the truth of, of us. Even when we were following generalized advice, we somehow have landed up in a world where 56% of population in some countries are obese. Well, they know what they should be eating, theoretically, even if we were following generic advice, but they don't. 40% of the people, like Vishen said, based on the Four Tendencies book, cannot follow through even when they know something's good for them. So while we may assume, hey, if I have the data, you know what, I will do everything. I will do everything and I will get the results. But Jason, I think that was, that was the name, right? Jason, Even if you'd inquired yourself like within yourself and you really ask, hey, listen, I know everything about X, whatever X is, and you want to get the results in the X area of your Life, do you really follow through? The answer in most cases is no. Answer in most cases is I start and then about four weeks and about five weeks and about 10 weeks. I don't. And that's why coaching becomes so important. That's why working with someone who knows how to change your behavior is the key to success. Knowing information, if would create success. We have had Google for decades now. We have the information. We don't use the information. That's why we are here. That's why you are needed. That's why most of us are needing a coach to work on areas that are important to us in our lives.

Great. So the next one is Sonia asks, are there any. How does the relationship work between coaches and volumes? Do coaches get to buy discounted volume kits? Are they affiliates for volume? What. What does that look like?

So essentially we give a 15% discount that either you can keep and sell the kit for a full price or you can pass the discount to your client.

Great. So you get discounts on the biome. On the biome kit. Great.

Yes.

Now, Kai asked a really good question.

And also supplements. I wish you can get a discount both on supplements and that kit. Both.

I see, I see. So now, Kai asked this question. At what point can individuals have full autonomy over their health? After the test do you have to be on. Do you have to be testing with volume for the rest of your life?

Well, the question really is, it's like asking that if I work out today, do I have to work out again or is, am I done? So it is. You know, if you want to be healthy, you have to fundamentally focus on, you know, making a lifetime transformation. You cannot just do it one time and be done. This is a lifetime commitment. And yes, you don't have to test every month, but you do have to test at least once every six months.

Or every one year. Right. Okay. Now the next one is how is this certification? How does the philosophy here fit with Wildfit? So Wildfit, for those of you who don't know, is a weight loss program on mindvalley. It's billed as a weight loss program, but it's actually a total health transformation program because what you eat influences your entire health. Now, whilefit puts, is a psychological program that helps you break bad patterns of. Of eating, reduce emotional dependency on food, break addictions to caffeine and things like that. And, and people see amazing results. Right? Wildfit is amazing. I'm. I'm a, a guy who had his life transformed with Wildfit. Now, when you do Wildfit, it will tell you things such as, okay, on this particular week, you want to eat this amount of vegetables. This particular week you want to eat this amount of, of of meat. This particular week you want to avoid dairy. But they don't tell you what vegetables, they don't tell you what meat. It's generic because they don't know your individual biome. If you know that, if you know, for example, that broccoli is not the vegetable for you, but maybe a spinach is, now, you can get even better results. So these programs are not, they don't counter each other. Basically, biome 1:1 is a psychology of eating program, but it doesn't get into specific foods. It's more generic. Volume actually gives you some additional data where knowing your unique gut microbiome, you can get even better results with Wildfit. So that's how the programs fit together. Now another question from Anonymous. They say all disease are psychosomatic. Are you saying that even disease that are psychosomatic can be healed with the right kind of food? This is an interesting question.

Yeah.

An answer is yes, because at the end of the day, your, your body, your food and your mind, they all are connected. So in fact, if you don't provide the right nutrition to your body, you cannot function. So to me, the nutrition is absolutely must. Even if you have a Ferrari, if you don't, if you put a wrong fuel in the Ferrari, it just doesn't drive up. So to me, the nutrition is the key for foundation to living healthier and longer life.

Okay, this is a fun question. Do you believe in eating for your blood type?

Well, first of all, remember the blood type is such a misnomer. That means people who have in a family same blood type and we know they have a completely different need, they develop a completely different disease even though have same blood type. So imagine people you meet in the hospital, they may have the same blood type. One may have a diabetes, one may have a heart disease, one may have dementia. Why is that? It's not the blood type. It is how your immune system is being influenced by everything in your body. Your environment, your gut, microbiome, the foods you eat. So ultimately it's the immune system and your inflammation in your body that causes you to have the different diseases.

I see. Now the next one is what's the difference between taking precision supplements and not taking them? I mean, if I, if I decide I want to take the food recommendations from the Biome app, do I really need supplements? What's the added benefit of supplements.

Absolutely. Great question, by the way. So the thing is, as I said, the food is lacking so much nutrition. And in fact, it is also impossible to get enough nutrition from food. So for example, if you need 70 milligrams of lycopene, you have to eat 10 pounds of tomatoes every day to get that lycopene. You cannot just get it. So we actually are able to take the vitamins, the minerals, the herbs, the digestive enzymes, the amino acids, the food extracts, everything you need and the concentrated form so you can get benefit or else you'll have to be eating 100 pounds of blueberries and 20 pounds of tomatoes and 30 pounds of broccoli that you just can't possibly get every day. And it's going to cost you lots.

And lots of money.

Yeah. Okay, so that's it for the questions. We're about five minutes over time. Guys, thank you so much for, for joining us. I really appreciate all of you guys spending 90 minutes with us. We have over. We had over a thousand two hundred people on this call. Thank you so much. Thank you, Naveen. Thank you, Ajit. Looking forward to seeing this, this class kick off and a new batch of Mindvalley students see their lives changed. Thank you all. And we'll hear from you. You'll hear from us. You'll get an email address. Sorry, you'll get an email with a link where you can get learn more about the certification program. And don't forget the QR code is on the screen. Go ahead and just take a picture of that. Jump in, read all about it and sign up before the spots go away. Thank you, guys.

Thank you, Vishen. Thank you, Ajit. Thank you everyone.

Bye all.

Sa.
