This podcast is here to empower you to become the CEO of your health by taking the guesswork out of health advise for you. My aim is to bring the newest research in lifestyle medicine to you in simple words and turn them into actionable steps you can start incorporating into your daily life for precision health optimisation, prevention and anti-ageing, all from a Functional Medicine perspective.

Introduction to Precision Health Optimisation, Prevention & Functional Medicine
An introduction to what precision health optimisation, prevention and Functional Medicine are. We explore the role of genetic testing such as DNA health tests, and predictive biomarker testing for health optimisation, and what to watch out for when doing these tests. We further examine the different between optimal and 'ok' test results as they pertain to health trajectories, plus a Functional Medicine take on health span and disease.
