Thanks, George, for your thoughts. Like you, I have been exposed to many different countries on three different continents, where I lived and worked. This experience has given me a broader perspective on the human ability to survive in vastly different environments and with equally different lifestyles and health behaviors. That is the reason why I there is no one-size-fits-all intervention or habit that serves everyone equally well in their quest for healthy survival. Unfortunately, our health care matrix is so focused on the one-size-fits-all paradigm, that in order for you, the individual, to get the most out of medicial science knowledge is to break out of that matrix. In a methodical way, of course.

I’d like to modify your last sentence slightly: it’s about genes AND their interaction with the environment and health behaviors. Only once our health behaviors are geared into our individual genetic predisposition can we be sure to optimize health and life expectancies. Since can’t know that perfect match in advance, we nee to follow a trial-and-error approach. Which is what my team and I have operationalized. We have made individualized preventive lifestyle medicine accessible to the layperson. The funny thing is that medical science has the tools to do this (It’s called N-of-1 experiment), but the health care matrix ignores it completely (maybe just now waking up to it in some corners). And we have the layperson capable tools to do the requisite real-time monitoring of biomarkers that informs N-of-1.
