Metabolism recovery plan
A lot of patients, therapists and doctors ask me to explain more about metabolic medicine (genetics and epi-genetics). A lot of information about this is available for free on this website. Professionals can join and in the future train to become a Metabolist®
Healthcare is slowly becoming unaffordable. In my opinion it is because we are only concerned with symptom medicine. Symptom medicine is very important and is in good hands with the many doctors and specialists let that be clear. To make healthcare more affordable we should logically focus more on preventive and cause medicine.
A good start may be DNA testing via a Metabologen®
A DNA test of through a Metabologen® employs a technique called genetic imputation that converts the 750,000 SNPs into more than 83 million additional variants with 99.7% accuracy. This allows us to analyze more than 100x more of your genome than other leading DNA testing companies.
Taking into account genetics and epi-genetics, restoration of metabolism may include:
- Restoration of the receptors of the endorphin system
- Restoration of the receptors of the endocannabinoid system
- Restoration of the receptors of the glutamate system
- Restoration of the receptors of the endocannabinoid system
- Restoration of cell function
- Restoration of mitochondria
Lifestyle
Lifestyle modification is difficult but well worth the effort. Lifestyle factors are:
- Nutrition (reset endorphins and endocannabinoid system)
- Motion
- Stress
- Insulin resistance
- Other environmental factors such as toxins
Can it be done differently without lifestyle modification?
Yes, but then it always remains "water to the sea. With targeted medication and supplementation, patients still experience improvements.
