Prevention costs less than treatment, but most people ignore early warning signs until they break.
We've always idealized medicine as direction in order to give someone what they need to do in order to be their best health. So why is it that we have the best of research and the best of resources and we're not applying it in the way that people can actually live longer and live well?
The system is very expensive, and by shifting some of that healthcare spending to these preventative care, it's almost keeping people out of the system.
We are classically trained as humans to ignore ignore what your body is telling you until it tells you something where it's catastrophic.
This is why there is such a prevalence of autoimmune disease in women, because where does autoimmune prey? It preys on the weak.
I am really trying to capture women before they hit menopause to give them the best building blocks so that at 60, 70, and 80, they are optimized instead of waiting for it to be a catastrophic fall off the cliff.
Especially for the women and for the men that are listening, where do they start?
