Health Optimization Medicine Podcast
Hosted by Health Optimization Medicine
A panel of doctors and researchers from the Health Optimization Medicine (HOMe) organization discuss complex medical science from a systems-biology perspective.
This is not an interview show, but a recurring roundtable discussion among the core faculty of the Health Optimization Medicine and Practice (HOMeHOPe) organization. Each episode serves as a deep dive into one of their foundational principles, such as the 'holobiont' concept or the idea that chronic disease is a form of aging. The faculty explains their systems-based medical philosophy, often contrasting it with conventional, organ-focused medicine.
“Instead of interviewing external guests, the show uses its own recurring panel of experts to teach its specific medical doctrine. This gives it the feel of a public-facing faculty meeting or a medical school lecture series for a specific, alternative framework of medicine.”
