- Prediction - anticipating your body’s unique needs and the health challenges you may face.
- Prevention - getting ahead of any risks by bringing your body into a balanced state best for healing and maintaining health.
- Personalization - building a plan that works for you, tailored to your genes, biochemistry, life experiences, and current lifestyle
- Participation - figuring out how to best define and support your role as an active participant in your health.
