Thanks to Peter Diamandis, these suggestions for 2022 could turn your life around.
My first suggestion is to ignore the media blitz about Covid. Get your vaccination, and wear a mask where it is required. Most of what you read or hear about Covid is hype and is aimed at you to maximize readership. Boosters are important as recommended. Reduce your anxiety and focus on your own health. Do not postpone important doctor visits, and avoid delaying needed treatments. Use telehealth as your first go to for doctor visits.
This is a bit far-fetched, aging will always take place, however we can slow it down.
What if we could reverse or even prevent chronic diseases such as heart disease, Alzheimer’s, and cancer?
That’s the mission of Viome: a revolutionary biotech company that uses an AI-driven platform to analyze the biochemical activity in your body by looking at your saliva, blood, and stool. Their goal is to give you an accurate picture of your unique health, and what you can do to optimize it through food and made-to-order, precision supplements and probiotics. (Full disclosure: my venture fund BOLD Capital is an investor in Viome.The web site offers you the opportunity to purchase supplements. None of these are FDA approved and peer reviewed studies are limited. Remember the supplement industry is a multibillion dollar business. If you spend $150 a month on these products you will feel better whether you are or not. Many studies have shown antioxidants are worthless. Many natural foodstuffs that contain bioflavonoids in a natural vegetable or fruit are healthy. Hard evidence reveals that vegetarians do live longer. (studies at Loma Linda University, where a vegetarian life style predominants reveal longer life spans in that region. (Loma Linda, California). The University in Loma Linda teaches this nutritional lifestyle. The students and medical staff live this on a daily basis. My observation as an outsider M.D. that taught there is it is a lean healthy demographic that age well without many chronic illnesses.
Here are some claims Viome makes,
"Viome recently did a study of 10,000 people to measure the effects of receiving Viome’s recommendations of supplements over a period of 4 months.
Here are some of the findings:
Clinical scores of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) came down by 40%;
Depression among participants decreased by 36%;
The participants’ diabetes risk score also decreased by 30%--simply with changes to diet and recommended supplements.
In another study, 550 people in Japan and 500 people in the United States were put on continuous glucose monitoring and then given 35,000 different types of food.
Viome then used a machine learning model that analyzed microbial activity, which was able to actually predict the glycemic response of different foods: if you eat this food, then this will be your body’s sugar response in your blood.
Viome then combines this analysis with predictive biomarkers and precision diagnostics to detect cancers, metabolic and autoimmune disease, inflammation, and other chronic conditions."
Our current healthcare is actually “sick care”—passive, reactive, and focused on damage control. It is "revenue based care".
Our goal needs to actually be “healthcare.” wherein we use advanced diagnostics and exponential tech to achieve an outcome that is personalized, precise, predictive, and preventive. (probably a well meaning hype).
More food for thought and perhaps good health are Peter's Laws. Some of this post must be taken with a grain of salt and perhaps a modicum of supplements. Peter Diamandis is an excellent speaker and a visionary of things which have taken place and to come.
