Continuing on with our foray into Personalized Precision Healthcare...

Now we'll start looking at the various HealthTypes™ which we can be, depending on which germ layer grew dominantly when we were in the womb. 

Depending on which of the 3 germ layers grew dominantly (endoderm (outer), mesoderm (middle) or ectoderm (inner)), we develop into a different morphology (body structure and type). We are literally the physical and mental manifestation of our embryonic and hormonal development!

How we grow in the womb makes us different as individuals - physically, mentally, emotionally, energetically... creating our morphology and phenotype (discussed in previous posts - see below).

The different germ layer formation also causes a dominance in different hormones, which also affects on our personality, goals and desires. For example, a HealthType™ with a dominance in testosterone will make us naturally more competitive or aggressive. So endocrinology and morophology affect personality and ...

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 ...
