Healthcare system has no incentive to keep you healthy

What if I told you how much money you pour into your health, be it out of pocket expenditure or insurance backed to doctors, drugs or digital health solutions, you are never going to be healthy?

What if I told you that the more you spend on your health, the more your health will deteriorate?

This is true- you are never going to be healthy giving the current set of healthcare solutions! The reason is YOU! Only YOU- falling for these solutions which make you believe that chronic diseases can only be managed

Most of the interventions are driven by suggestions by your healthcare practitioners/service providers who have no incentive to keep you healthy.??

Oh you may say “ I have insurance cover”! But what does that have to do with you to keep you healthy??

The insurance companies settle your cost of treatments that do not deep dive into root cause, that helps you relieve you current symptoms so that you develop some more & again those would be suppressed with some other treatment & modern medicine method. This makes sure that you are paying premium every year to manage your health condition

I am not telling you some fairy tale- I am going to share a true story today.

When my father was diagnosed with colon cancer ( stage 4), the doctor( one of the best oncologists in Delhi) said, "Oh, please get your paperwork related to your property done, we cannot guarantee your survival. During my conversation with her- she said “ Oh we can get rid of tumours by resorting to ICI, immunotherapy etc” but it could appear again. So if your father has to survive, he has to go for this chemotherapy for a longer period of time.?

( Mind you, the price we paid for chemotherapy out of our own pocket was 1/3rd of price paid via insurance cover & settlement- no prize for guessing economics behind it- insurance company is in business of making money & they can only make money when you are sick, not healthy)

When I mentioned microbiome & nutrition, she said “ Oh forget it, What we have to do with nutrition, we can get rid of the tumour, we do not get into the science behind what develops disease”.

Following two years, I took the matter in my hands & made sure the chemotherapy was effective by modulating the microbiome & structured a nutrition program that could promote beneficial microbial activities & diminish pro-inflammatory response”

DOCTORS either have no business to keep you healthy or do not have right data points at their disposal to understand the changes in biochemistry before the disease manifests.

I cannot do anything about the first part- as it's driven by greed & how the system has been designed, but I can bring disruption in the second part.?

This is what we have built- we can now measure health at molecular level & give our healthcare practitioners insights about molecular determinants of various chronic diseases & cancer by analysing biochemistry at molecular level, telling which diseases have already been developed, are in the progression stage or yet to manifest but have not reflected/will never reflect in standard of care diagnostic tests?

Just think about it- you just want to end up managing your disease & visiting doctor every month & galloping that medicine either funded from your own pocket or insurance driven or looking for solution that keep removes DIS from “DISEASE”

Time is now to take control of your health in your own hands by understanding your biology & rebalancing by personalising nutrition as medicine(1)(2)(3)(4).?

In the second part I & my co-founder Sakshi Bali are going to share another real conversation with some of the doctors who clearly spelled out that we want people to keep visiting us every month, your solution restricts or closes our money making machine.?

Stay tuned
