Detecting the drift

What if the key to a longer, healthier life isn't waiting until something goes wrong—but learning to detect the subtle drift before illness ever takes hold?

In this fascinating episode of The Wellness Puzzle Podcast, Andrew Jobling is joined by Dr. Yi "Sherry" Zhang—scientist, entrepreneur, innovator, and author of The Founder Effect. From her beginnings in China to becoming a pioneering leader in biotechnology and artificial intelligence in the United States, Sherry's journey is one of courage, vision, and relentless curiosity.

As the founder of GenoPalate, she helped more than 170,000 people personalise their nutrition using their own DNA. Today, as Executive Director of the Buck Institute's Price Lab, she leads Healthspan Horizons, an AI-powered initiative designed to transform how we understand longevity and optimise human health.

But beyond the science lies a powerful message: don't wait for disease to arrive before paying attention to your health. Learn to recognise the small shifts—the drift—towards sickness and take action while you still have the opportunity to change your future.

This conversation explores the intersection of science, wellbeing, entrepreneurship and purpose, offering practical wisdom and inspiring hope for anyone wanting to live a healthier, more meaningful life.

• Why chronic illness begins long before symptoms appear.
• What it means to "detect the drift" in your health.

• The mindset required to innovate, overcome adversity and create meaningful impact.
• Why resilience, purpose and lifelong learning are essential ingredients for a fulfilling life.

Whether you're passionate about health, fascinated by innovation, or simply looking for inspiration to take greater ownership of your wellbeing, this episode will challenge the way you think about your future.

Because the best time to improve your health isn't when you're sick—it's now.
