Academia and pharma aren't solving health problems. Academics focus on publishing, pharma on managing diseases, not preventing them. We need a new entity focused on prevention—that's Viome. #HealthTech #Prevention #Viome

Spinach and almonds are high in oxalates, which can harm joints and kidneys if you have a severe inability to process oxalates. Swap spinach for arugula and almonds for pumpkin seeds for a similar texture and nutrient profile with zero oxalates. #HealthyEating #Nutrition

Beef's carnitine can be converted by gut bacteria into TMA, then TMAO in the liver. High TMAO is linked to heart disease risk. Your unique gut microbiome determines how you react to beef. #Nutrition #GutHealth

Let's say a massive study suggests cheese benefits humanity, but that's irrelevant if it sends *you* to the ER. Personalized diet beats general studies. If removing a reactive food makes you feel better, do it. Your body knows best. #PersonalizedNutrition #FoodSensitivity

Viome focuses on chemical signaling because your body functions on it. Your immune system doesn't care about specific microbes, but it *does* respond to their biochemical functions. That's what Viome targets. #HealthTech #GutHealth

Cancer rates are rising. Starting around 40-50, early screening is crucial. Catching cancer early allows for reversal and a return to health. Waiting until Stage III drastically reduces survival rates, especially for cancers like pancreatic. #CancerAwareness #HealthTips

Imagine removing harmful elements from your blood to boost health and longevity! Therapeutic Plasma Exchange (TPE) does just that, replacing harmful plasma with clean fluid. It's a groundbreaking procedure used for serious conditions. #HealthTech #Longevity

Antibiotics aren't selective; they decimate your microbial community, raising risks for chronic diseases and cancer. They also destroy your gut microbiome. Nourish your protective bacteria. #GutHealth #Antibiotics

A woman struggling with a serious autoimmune disease found relief through diet and lifestyle changes. Within months, she went from barely walking to being medication-free and thriving, showcasing the power of functional medicine. #FunctionalMedicine #AutoimmuneDisease

Your genes dictate blood pressure at birth, but they decline 10% each decade. By 50, your microbiome handles half the load. A compromised microbiome can lead to high blood pressure. #Health #Microbiome

How plasma exchange actually works: ~75% of your plasma is removed in one session and replaced with albumin. You keep enough to hold clotting factors. Your body rebuilds the rest in days. That's the mechanism behind the longevity research. Ep 15 of Two PhDs on a Pod → f.mtr.cool/6thj2izo8a #Longevity #PlasmaExchange

Modern medicine is too siloed. Your heart doesn't exist in isolation—it reacts to your immune system, gut health, and microbiome. True health requires understanding these interconnected network effects. #HolisticHealth #MedEd

A control group aged normally over 6 months. The other group measured 2.6 years younger — across 35 different aging clocks. The difference? Their blood plasma was removed and replaced. One trial, early science, but real data. Ep 15 of Two PhDs on a Pod → f.mtr.cool/e469zwzp24 #Longevity #Aging

Traditional medicine treats based on averages. Functional medicine dives into root causes for personalized health, potentially eliminating the need for medication. It's about fixing the source, not just the symptoms. #FunctionalMedicine #RootCause #Health

Your body clears harmful molecules slowly — and slower as you age. Plasma exchange skips the wait: remove most of them from the bloodstream in a single pass. That's the mechanism longevity researchers are chasing. Early research, but interesting. Ep 15 of Two PhDs on a Pod → f.mtr.cool/7yqsibdnet #Longevity #Aging

Functional medicine offers a holistic, systems-based approach to chronic disease, viewing the body as an interconnected network. #FunctionalMedicine #HolisticHealth
