Ancient Chinese saying…
One disease, long life.
No disease, short life.
Knowledge is power.
This is not an attack on any person, lifestyle choice or health practice. I'm agnostic to what you do and why you do it.
Each of you is likely to have one or several undiagnosed health issues.
People conflate the absence of diagnosis with the presence of health. For those who do not routinely measure their health, that ignorance manifests a false sense of physiological superiority.
> 15-20% or more of the general population have markers of autoimmunity, most undiagnosed or subclinical
> whole body MRI studies on healthy, asymptomatic people reveal over 30% possess undetected structural pathologies.
> autopsy studies of young individuals reveal that over 50% of adults under 40 already have early to moderate atherosclerosis, without symptoms. A standard resting EKG or basic cholesterol panel will miss it. It requires advanced imaging to see the soft plaque building in the arterial wall.
> global epidemiological data shows that roughly 25% to 30% of the general population has fatty liver disease, most undetected
> over 90% of individuals with early stage (1-3) kidney disease are unaware they have it
> 88% of Americans are metabolically unwell
When you dramatically increase measurement frequency and sensor sensitivity, you exponentially increase the subclinical anomalies you catch.
