If we had a roadmap to saying like this is the best version of me physically, then why wouldn't we want to follow that?
In this episode of 'Retrieving Sanity', host Keegan Read welcomes Len May, an expert in epigenetics and genomics, to discuss the future of healthcare. Len May explores the concept of precision health and wellness, advocating for a personalized approach to medicine that challenges the traditional 'cookie cutter' protocols prevalent in healthcare. He introduces the idea of using genetics as a blueprint for life, a GPS that can guide individuals in making informed lifestyle choices to avoid potential health pitfalls.
The conversation delves into the science behind epigenetics, which has been studied since the 1950s, and how understanding one's genetic predispositions can lead to proactive health strategies rather than reactive treatments. Len shares his personal journey from the limitations of traditional medicine to discovering the power of genetic information in health and wellness. He emphasizes accountability in health management and the importance of knowing one's genetic predispositions to make smart lifestyle choices, including diet, exposure, and mental state.
Len discusses the potential of alternative therapies, including a mix of Western and Eastern medicine, plant therapies, and psychedelics, in enhancing health outcomes. He explains how AI and machine learning are accelerating advancements in healthcare, allowing for real-time monitoring and personalized treatment recommendations. Listeners are encouraged to explore their own genetic makeup and consider how it can inform their health decisions.
