A while back I did one of those science experiments on myself.

Sent off the spit tube to 23andMe. Got my data back. Downloaded the raw chromosome file.

Before any of the AI stuff, I uploaded that file to FoundMyFitness — Dr. Rhonda Patrick’s service. She’s a Ph.D. in biomedical science who’s been doing genetics-and-longevity research for years. You hand FoundMyFitness your raw 23andMe data and it spits back a real report on cholesterol, longevity, fitness, nutrient needs — what your body’s prone to, what you might be deficient in, what diet might actually fit you. Real studies behind it. I learned a ton.

Then I tried uploading that same raw file to ChatGPT to dig deeper — too big. The file just wouldn’t go.

So I sat on it.

Then Claude came along. And Cowork — Claude’s tool for getting actual work done. The file fits. I uploaded the whole thing and started asking questions.

What’s actually good about my genes? What should I be aware of? What diet suits me best? What workouts suit my body? What supplements should I take? Which should I avoid? Am I sensitive to the sun? What am I prone to that I should be watching for? What can I pass on to my kids? What am I exceptionally good at that I should lean into?

The answers were specific. There’s so much neat knowledge sitting inside your chromosomes that you can actually act on.

The one that landed hardest: my genes put me in the top one percent of the top one percent for gaining muscle. The very top.

I’ll tell you what I do with information like that. I internalize it. I believe it. When I’m putting in a rep or two, in my head I’m getting way more multiplier than the average person putting in the same work. I show up more, knock out reps here and there more often.

Maybe it’s true. Maybe it’s not. Either way, I’m getting the workout.

The other one that hit — I carry the longevity gene that most centenarians have. The people who live past 100. That’s a wild thing to read about yourself.

I did just have colon cancer removed from my body. So who knows. But it inspires me that if I keep doing things the right way, I might live a long time.

Here’s the part I want you to actually do. Not bookmark. Not “I’ll get to it.” Today.

If you’ve ever done 23andMe — or Ancestry.com, or any other DNA service that gives you your raw data — go to Claude. Preferably Cowork, because Cowork can take over your browser and do the actual fetching for you.

Here’s the prompt. Paste it in verbatim:

That’s it. Paste it. Claude will walk you through the rest. The whole flow takes a couple of days because 23andMe and Ancestry both email you the file after you request it. Worth the wait.

The whole point — once you have the read — is knowing what to attack, what to be aware of, what your body is actually exceptional at, and then leaning into those strengths. It’s all in how you interpret and use the information. Some of it will surprise you. Some of it will probably scare you a little. All of it is actionable.

Once you’ve got the file uploaded, just talk to it. Ask what your body is actually built for. Ask what you should be screening regularly. Ask what to eat. Ask anything.

Honest truth — you don’t even really need FoundMyFitness anymore. Claude can do most of what that report does, plus answer follow-up questions in real time. That’s the leap.

Side note on privacy — I’ve opened my whole world up to Claude. I don’t think I’m special. Giving it access to everything just lets me streamline everything. Your call on what you’re comfortable with.

I took some of what Claude pulled together to my oncologist.

He started taking screenshots.

Then he asked me to send him my full chromosome data.

Read that twice. My oncologist — the guy whose entire job is staying current with this stuff — asked me to send him the AI analysis and my DNA. That’s where personal healthcare is going. The patient with the AI learns things doctors would love to know as well!

Five years ago, getting your own chromosomes and running them through AI just wasn’t an option. Now you can walk into a specialist’s office with tailored questions, tailored insights, and a real read on your own genome — and that enlightens everybody in the room. You. The doctor. The next doctor.

And credit where it’s due — my oncologist is dope for humoring me on this and immediately seeing the value. Keep doctors like that.

I re-requested my full file from 23andMe last week so I can send it to him. Just came back!.

This is the work I want to be doing right now — helping everyone reading this actually use AI in their real life. Their health. Their money. Their home. Their work. Their genome. Whatever they’ve got going on. My readers, my friends, my family, the businesses I work with. Practical AI use cases. A few impractical ones too ;)

Because it matters. And because the people who figure this out in the next year are going to be operating in a completely different category than the people who don’t.

One more thing — a quick personal update for the people who’ve been asking.

Today I’m getting the staples out from my surgery. They removed the colon, reattached it, and took a small section of small intestine for good measure. The tumor they pulled out was the size of a baseball/softball, seven inches. No wonder I couldn’t poop! New Rob is grateful to not have that barrier anymore.

The next four or five weeks are about strengthening up. Then I start six months of chemo on FOLFOX — every two weeks.

The math on that: I’ll be going into 2027 basically back to normal.

I’m already getting more range of motion, eating more, reaching for things I couldn’t reach last week. The body is doing what it does when you give it the inputs and the time.

The support through this has been something else. My Dad, my Sister, Friends, this whole community. Thank you. Genuinely. I don’t take any of it for granted.

Back to work.

Warmly,
