Diseases of aging arise as a result of systemic degradation to basic physiological function with chronological age, generally beginning in the 30’s. Importantly, these metabolic, hormonal, microbiome, genomic, and epigenetic alterations that were once undetectable at the cellular level have become quantifiable with the emergence of novel diagnostic tools throughout the early 21st century. Precision Medicine physicians and clinicians are poised to seamlessly integrate these tools into clinical and digital health practices to support their ultimate objectives of intricate personalization and health optimization for each person. A multifaceted approach is essential to optimize health and stop chronic diseases on a targeted N-of-1 basis. Our longitudinal research, derived from >20 years of scientific data, suggests that it is possible to detect, predict, and stop chronic disease. This lecture will illustrate how our patients can achieve healthy longevity through this evidence-based approach.
