Comprehensive health screening: Health Nucleus
Health screening is the future of healthcare
In this short 5-minute video, our founder shares personal thoughts on the future of healthcare, and why it is proactive. The technologies to prevent disease are at your disposal, will you choose to access them?
Medical screening in great socks
The future of healthcare is based on health screening that is proactive & preventative!
Today, we have all of the medical technology required to detect and treat the most common life-threatening diseases, provided that we can detect them early on.
This includes common killers such as cardiovascular disease (heart-attack, stroke, thrombosis), the chronic illnesses of metabolic disease (diabetes) and, of course, most cancers.
Even health screening and early detection of diseases of the brain (alzheimer's or parkinson’s) can result in extended healthspan, and slow the rate of disease progression (although a cure for these maladies will likely require changing the ageing process itself!)
Health screening gets personal
As our founder shares, health screening is part of a personal motivation for creating A Longer Life. “In my late 20s, I had three people quite close to me, also in their late 20s, be diagnosed with cancer. In fact, one of them, was my own wife (appendix cancer)!”
“Another had stage III colon cancer. The third, stage IV testicular cancer that nearly took his life.”
In each of these cases, treatments came well after the onset of the disease, which brought on deeper thoughts on the very nature of how we detect and treat these diseases.
Health screening is how healthcare catches up to the 21st century
New longevity technologies are being developed and deployed at an increasing pace. Some forward thinkers, including our Founder, observe this trend to be exponential in nature.
This is particularly true for health screening technologies which are directly coupled with progress in computing capabilities (processing power, network communication speeds, memory availability).
However, your personal experience in the healthcare system does not make these changes immediately evident. The healthcare system has made great strides in responsive medicine - treating disease at later stages, after an acute event or advance systems are present.
Comprehensive regular health screening is available now
All of the health screening technologies required to detect diseases at an early, highly treatable stage exist NOW (at the time of writing, late 2019).
It is not technological limitations which prevents your access to these technologies. Instead, the limitations are based on 1) knowledge of alternatives, 2) financial means to access them, and 3) your personal demand for access to them.
This foundational post from A Longer Life will be followed by all of the information you’ll require to learn about proactive healthcare technologies and how to access them.
It will include our Founder’s personal foray into this technology space, where we’ll use his experience to thoroughly vet and explore these new technologies, to help you decide which to add to your own personalised longevity strategy.
FULL BODY HEALTH SCREENING: the Health Nucleus
As you’ll soon learn, many forward thinking technologists, scientists and medical professionals have already begun to create a healthcare system worthy of the 21st Century.
Where this adventure will start, is at one of the most comprehensive health screening treatment centres in the world: Human Longevity Inc’s Health Nucleus.
Based in San Diego, California, our Founder first visited the Health Nucleus in May 2018. Where he underwent the following:
a wide-reaching blood panel
microbiome sequencing (💩)
What followed on from this visit was a complete transformation in his approach to health and wellness. It’s precisely this type of self-experimenting that helps us create unique content to guide you on your own wellness journey.
