I recently took the $300 leap and sent my saliva, blood and stool sample into a newer innovative longevity clinic called viome. (No affiliation, or compensation.).
In return I receive a 133 page report on the full pharmacology of my body. The list is incredibly comprehensive down to listing every micro-biome in your gut from mouth to anus. Ok, So what? What do I do with this information? Well for starters and the reason why I decided to invest in my health, Is like many others in this group, I’ve asked the supplement ppl what they are taking. I have compiled some great lists from that ask, but the truth is we are all chemically different. What would benefit one person or a mouse, may not benefit another. For example my report revealed to lay off green tea, bell peppers and tomatoes. All things I’ve read are only beneficial. My report specifically list which pre/post biotics, vitamins, minerals supplements dosage will best serve my body for homeostasis. I am no longer throwing darts.
I am all about precision medicine and nutrition. I do not want to waste money or time on things that are broad spectrum and purely anecdotal at best.
Im still early in the process with this innovation, so technically the jury is still out for atleast another 3 months until I can testify to a noticeable difference or not. However, it checked all the boxes for me and I feel better knowing that now what I’m taking is unique to me. Perhaps I’m still throwing my money away and I’m sure atleast one guy on this forum will roll his eyes at me, but I don’t care. There nothing I wouldn’t do to be here for my family. But it’s not good enough for me to just be here, I will never stop fighting for my quality of life. I plan to make it another 50 years, pain free, at peace and able bodied. Tell me I won’t and I will thank you now for the motivation.
Rock on my warriors.
