Health behaviours which maximise wellness also minimise illness! You can ensure ustained good health by understanding your personal risk for diseases and modifying your behaviours accordingly.
During the presentation, Dr. Sameer shared evidence-based methods for preventing, detecting, and treating cancer. He emphasized the importance of longevity, lifestyle, and rehabilitation medicine in achieving optimal health. According to Dr. Sameer, the future of medicine will be focused on maximizing wellness and minimizing illness.
Dr. Sameer introduced us to the concepts of chronological and biological age, and how lifestyle modifications can promote optimal health. He explained that only 20% of our health is determined by genetics, and the rest is under our control.
Traditional medicine is reactive, and we often seek treatment only after the disease has progressed significantly. However, a proactive approach that involves personalized testing, scientific health optimization protocols, and early detection techniques can significantly improve our chances of preventing life-threatening conditions such as cancer, heart disease, respiratory diseases, and metabolic diseases.
Dr. Sameer also spoke about the importance of identifying cancer risk through simple questionnaires and cutting-edge tests. He also discussed how preventing and tightly controlling common conditions such as obesity, diabetes, and cholesterol issues can greatly reduce the risk of developing cancer in the first place and help in improving cancer prognosis. Lastly, Dr. Sameer discussed screening protocols for identifying the early onset of cancer, as well as ways in which sleep, nutrition, exercise, supplementation, and non-cancer-related drugs can be utilized to slow cancer progress and support recovery. He concluded with a simple 5-step longevity plan that includes testing and analyzing our health, defining our health goals, understanding the actions required to achieve our health goals, and implementing those actions to ensure we stay healthy longer.
In summary, prioritizing our health by preparing and following a personalized longevity plan is crucial for achieving optimal health and preventing life-threatening conditions. This was echoed in his statement that we all have plans for the weekend but very few of us have plans for ensuring we stay healthy.
