Q&A

How did golfing contribute to cholesterolemia in the patient?

—Golfing exposed the patient to toxins present in the grass, leading to inflammation and cholesterol buildup in the arteries.

Why is environmental health important for preventing chronic disease?

—Environmental factors such as pollution, pesticides, and toxins can negatively impact cellular health and lead to disease.

How do genetics influence detoxification processes?

—Genetic variations can affect the body's ability to detoxify substances, making some individuals more susceptible to health issues.

What is personalized medicine based on genetic makeup?

—Personalized medicine utilizes genetic information to tailor prevention and treatment approaches according to an individual's specific genetic profile.

What is functional genomics?

—Functional genomics focuses on understanding the underlying causes of disease and implementing preventive strategies based on individual genetics and environmental factors.
