There is no arguing the fact that proper laboratory analysis is essential to understanding personal health trends and to the delivery of effective health care. Unfortunately, many miss the fact that an individual’s lab results, at any point in time, are a direct reflection of the interplay between the individual’s genetics and their personal lifestyle habits.
Once key laboratory biomarkers are measured, and individual trends and predispositions are better understood, one must thoroughly evaluate their lifestyle habits in order to understand where they have the best opportunities to favorably influence their health and prevent illness. While there is no doubt that properly prescribed medicines can improve specific biomarker results and play an important role in managing specific illnesses, it is not wise to rely on such outside-in approaches alone. Our health is too important and we human beings are far too complex and individualistic to overlook the opportunity to change the lifestyle habits that contribute to illness and compromise our ability to be and stay well.
Our understanding of health care has come along way in the last decade and predominant role which our individual lifestyle choices have on the course of our health has become increasingly clear. The challenge has become one of identifying which areas of an individual’s lifestyle are the most important to their specific circumstances, and then educating and supporting them to address these more proactively. Assessing one’s health and lifestyle, in light of their individual predispositions to illness, necessitates thorough, concise and direct evaluation.
