What happens in the womb has an ongoing domino effect on the rest of your life

Did you watch the 'Divergent' film trilogy?

If you did, you will remember in the first film, we were shown a society where people are divided into 5 distinct factions, each one dedicated to cultivating a specific virtue in order to maintain peace. In the series, every person in society is assigned to a faction based on their innate skills and talents:

For example, due to their incorruptible nature and selflessness, 'Abnegation' (The Selfless) traditionally run the government (gosh wouldn't that be nice in real life, lol), whilst 'Erudite' (The Intelligent) are logical, knowledgeable and intelligent, and act as society's scientists, researchers, and educators.*

The point here, in relation to personalized Precision Healthcare, is that each person is born with unique values, virtues and talents, which means they all think and behave differently according to these innate qualities. Their individual makeup ...

PHENOTYPE: The science of what makes you YOU

I have to admit, I was never a very 'sciency' person at school. 

I remember lessons were divided into 'biology' (which I enjoyed and was quite good at) and 'chemistry' (which I found really hard). 

It didn't help that the chemistry teacher favoured the real 'brainy' people in the class, ignoring students like myself who just couldn't get to grips with formulas and numbers. So I fell behind and lost interest in chemistry, and eventually gave it up.

I mention this so you know I'm not an expert when it comes to what I am about to share, and I'm still on a learning curve myself. 

However, in terms of understanding personalized Precision Healthcare, it's really important to understand some of these concepts, and actually quite fascinating when one gets a handle on them. 

What makes a person different?

As mentioned previously in part 1, we are all unique, and respond differently to what happens to us in our life, all of us creating our own ...

2026 is my 20 year anniversary of helping people solve complex health problems which keep them awake at night, and distressed or inconvenienced during the day.

20 years is quite a stretch of time.

When I inadvertently started offering sessions all those years ago, I had no idea that two decades later I'd still be doing it. I didn't even know back then that I'd last more than a year.

In fact, when I started, it wasn't what I planned to be doing at all.

When I started seeing clients, you might imagine it was because I proactively decided I wanted to be a therapist. Nope - that's not how it was...

When I started seeing clients, I'd just come through the other side of a 20 year journey of healing myself from chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) and clinical depression, plus a swag of other diagnosed health conditions, which had taken me on a journey of being unable to work for 10 years, and trying and testing over 250 different therapies on my quest to find answers. 

I had sold my house to...
