Research is underway to establish biomarkers that can predict mitochondrial dysfunction and potentially identify children at risk for neurodevelopmental disorders.

The focus of research should shift from merely treating conditions to understanding and improving metabolic health to prevent mental health disorders.

Metabolic health influences neurodevelopment, and as metabolic health declines, we can expect an increase in neurodevelopmental disorders.

We need to connect genetic signatures with health data to make meaningful predictions about individual health and lifestyle choices.

We should pursue embryo selection to create healthier and stronger babies, as it makes sense to prevent serious health issues before birth.

We need to shift from a 'sick care' mindset to a preventive approach, utilizing compelling data to demonstrate the effectiveness of preventive measures.

I started working on personalized nutrition because of the alarming statistics on metabolic disease, where currently 4 out of 10 US adults are obese, and diabetes affects 1 in 10 Americans, leading to significant suffering and healthcare costs.

Rates of autism and ADHD are rising alongside poor metabolic health in the population, indicating a potential link between metabolic dysfunction and neurodevelopmental disorders.

The integration of metabolic health with mental health is crucial for a comprehensive understanding of mental illness and its treatment.
