"The new recommendations are out for America - now what? Well, as many of my patients have heard me say, "it depends". One size does not fit all. We are magnificently made and medical research has only scratched the surface of how our bodies work. Our organ systems (cardiovascular, brain/nerves, immune system, hormones, gut, etc), environment (clean air, clean water, gardens, etc), and lifestyle (stress, sleep, nutrition, exercise, culture, etc) work in coordination, resulting in our final health status. This is very complex and brilliant researchers have made tremendous discoveries that open up even more questions about how to prevent, manage, and cure diseases. My best recommendation is to simply work with your trusted primary care doctor or other medical health professional for YOUR answers. When your care is individualized and you become empowered to be your own health advocate, shifts in the health trends of the day will not derail you from your health journey. This keeps your strategy simple. I will say, stay informed and exercise your right to VOTE! Policies matter. It impacts every aspect of your health, from access to care, to access to unbiased health information.
At BIOMe,
1. We apply evidence-based medicine to examine the consequences of our environment and how it impacts our lifestyle and health.
- Access to healthcare, high quality whole foods, education, jobs, housing, childcare, technology, clean air, safe water, etc
- How we survive, adapt, behave, cope, etc
- Impact of imprinting (early childhood environment, genetic environment)
2. We apply evidence-based medicine to explore how to mitigate or prevent the negative health consequences of our learned behaviors.
See, I told you it was complex.....but I am here to help you sort it out if you are ready!
