The name for what this is called is systems and network biology, which has ultimately kind of led into this new world of functional medicine. The way to visualize it is if you imagine like five conditions right now, the way we look at it. They would be completely siloed. But in assistance and network biology approach, imagine taking into the conditions and starting to draw lines between them. And they're actually just showing up in different cell types as different quote unquote diseases.
If you weren’t paying attention to your health before the last few years, you are now. Question is, what should we actually be paying attention to? And, are there major things, early or even real-time indicators that could tell us how our day-to-day choices are affecting everything from our energy to level of pain, inflammation, fatigue, mental health and risk of chronic illness or life-altering disease, but that most of us are missing?
These are the questions I pose to today’s guest, Dr. Casey Means, as we explore the world of metabolic and mitochondrial health and how technology is now becoming available on more of a mass scale that can help us reclaim control over so many aspects of our immediate and long-term wellbeing. And even guide our behavioral choices, from food to movement to meditation in real-time. And, I also share my own experience running my own, personal experiments with this emerging tech.
