🤔 The biggest problem in 'healthcare' today? Beyond the top killer diseases, Beyond the need of tech, Beyond regulations, Beyond .. whatever? ⚡ It's that we have accepted this sad state of our individual and collective health: Where 90% of the load on healthcare is due to Chronic Lifestyle Diseases ☠ -- While these diseases are amenable to Prevention & Remission! 🚥🚥 ⚡ We have accepted that we will: ⚖ Gain fat in our late 20s, 30s, and somehow never get it off (so we'll just feebly joke about it while everyone nods in agreement) 😶 💪 Lose our strength, flexibility, agility - as early as our 20s & 30s 💊 Be put on some pills for one more of -- Diabetes, High blood pressure, "Cholesterol", PCOD, Fatty Liver, Thyroid, Kidney disease, Gout, even Obesity! 🔪 Go under the knife for one or more of -- Gangrene (due to diabetic neuropathy), Gall bladder removal, Total Knee Replacement, Gastric Bypass Surgery, Angioplasty, Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery, Liver/ Kidney Transplant 😣 See the elders in our homes get frail & sicker over several years, losing their vitality, as the pills pile up. ... So much so, that 'taking care of elders' is portrayed even in TV series/ films as 'giving them their medication on time' - where most of these meds are just symptom suppressants. ⚡ This has to change! It won't , till our view of Chronic Diseases is that of symptom suppression & "managing" the disease. It will only change when we fix the ROOT CAUSES of these conditions. 💡 That is what the Metabolic Health approach does.
