The Healthcare Revolution Happening Right Now
For most of modern history, healthcare has been reactive. It’s been SICKcare not Healthcare.
A 2024 study published in JAMA Network Open found that trust in physicians and hospitals declined from 71.5% in April 2020 to 40.1% in January 2024 among more than 443,000 U.S. adults. The decline was observed across all demographic groups

People typically waited until symptoms appeared before seeking medical guidance. They trusted their medical guidance as gospel, and often took no proactive steps to ensure the fundamentals are being addressed daily. While the current model has produced remarkable advances in treating disease, it often leaves individuals asking an important question:
“What could I have done sooner?”
Today, a growing movement toward Precision Health is changing that conversation.
Consumers are increasingly using genetic testing, blood biomarkers, wearable technology, body composition analysis, and advanced wellness assessments to gain deeper insights into their health before significant problems develop.
The goal is simple:
Make better decisions earlier. Make them based on data rather than anecdotal evidence.
Why Consumers Are Driving This Change
Several factors are fueling this trend. Not the least of which is RFK’s influence over US Healthcare policy. Love him or hate him, he is changing the way medicine is practiced and food is procured.
Access to Information
Health information is more available than ever before. Consumers want to understand their bodies beyond annual checkups. Concierge medicine is growing in large part because the public is starting to spend their healthcare dollars on the front end, not the back end.
Wearable Technology
Devices such as fitness trackers and smart watches provide continuous data on sleep, heart rate variability, activity levels, and recovery. More to come on my partners in this space.
Personalized Health Solutions
People are realizing that nutrition, exercise, recovery, and supplementation are not one-size-fits-all. The fundamentals of nutrition, peace of mind, sleep, and taxing exercise are! Follow me and reach out for individual coaching if establishing your fundamentals has been difficult. We make that fun!
Focus on Prevention
Consumers are increasingly prioritizing longevity, quality of life, and healthy aging rather than simply treating disease after it occurs. Age is just a number if that is your goal.
Research and industry reports continue to show growing interest in consumer genetic testing and personalized wellness platforms as tools for proactive health management. I work with these team’s daily and can connect you with VIP points of contact at most health and wellness organizations.
Where Genetic Testing Fits In
Your genes do not determine your destiny. They are however a great starting point for making current health decisions.
They can provide valuable information about how your body may process nutrients, respond to exercise, metabolize compounds, and manage certain biological pathways.
Genetic testing is best viewed as a roadmap rather than a diagnosis.
One platform gaining attention in this space is the 10X Health Precision Genetic Test. 300 Pages of useful data, a great action plan summary, and coaching for those that want to dive deep with a nutrition pro.
According to 10X Health, the platform analyzes multiple genetic markers to provide personalized insights regarding nutrition, exercise, recovery, and wellness optimization. Their testing focuses heavily on methylation and other genetic pathways involved in nutrient utilization and overall health.
