Bioinformatics
Medical Imaging is the foundation of all health information…
A.I. Tools utilized to analyze diverse data, biological profiling, disease development, complicated biologic interactions, etc. for more personalized & effective treatments.
Precision Medicine: innovative approach to medicine that combines patient genetics, environment, lifestyle, etc. to improve disease prevention and treatments.
"An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure” -Benjamin Franklin
Next Generation Sequencing (NGS): tests capable of rapidly identifying or sequencing large sections of a person’s genome important to advances in clinical applications for improved results.

YOU ARE YOUR BEST DOCTOR- Patient Accountability- Healthcare is THE ONLY physical or mental function where there is no discipline required to attain it…
Blood Pressure: body’s arterial, oxygen and energy plumbing. Directly related to insulin which also stimulates nitric oxide, a chemical that dilates blood vessels. Diastolic measures minimum pressures when heart is at rest vs. systolic measures maximum pressure at beat. Elevated blood pressure over time means heart is working against various physical conditions to compensate energy and oxygen to body.
75 diastolic / 115 systolic mmHg
Triglycerides: conversion of excess glucose (mainly from sugar and carbohydrates) from liver mitochondria normally reserved for fasted or exerted states. Overloading can back up triglycerides in your bloodstream and full up liver cells with too much fat backing up the system and causing what is ultimately insulin resistance
40-80 mg/dL
HDL Cholesterol: (High-Density Lipoprotein) removes cholesterol (fatty, wax-like substance that makes hormones) from blood vessels and carries to liver for processing out of body. Anti-inflammatory, antioxidant properties that also lowers risks of heart disease and measured levels biggest indicator for it.
(+) 40 mg/dL
Blood Sugar: steady state, unaffected levels measured- “fasting glucose”
70 mg/dL
Waist Circumference: excess fat stored in abdomen (visceral fat) causes inflammation and leads to other diseases vs. subcutaneous fat below the skin vs. ectopic fat inside cells and block insulin + cell signaling.
30-34 inches.
