Episode notes
INSIGHT

Genes Are Stable; Lifestyle Changed

  • Human genes changed negligibly over 100 years while chronic illness rates skyrocketed.
  • Therefore environmental and lifestyle changes, not genetics, explain the modern chronic disease rise.
ADVICE

Prioritize Lifestyle Over Drug Scores

  • Prioritize lifestyle: give your body what it needs to express healthy structure and function.
  • Focus on nutrition, movement, sleep, and psychosocial environment rather than drug-induced test scores.
INSIGHT

  • Medicine aims for drug-induced homeostasis: normalize test numbers with pills.
  • That approach alters scores but leaves underlying lifestyle causes and stressors unchanged.
