Updated: Aug 27, 2022
Few of the talking points involved:
1) There is no age limitation for a Preventive Medicine consultation, “prevention should start as early as possible”. The main goal of Preventive medicine is to improve patients’ health and well-being and ultimately prevent any disease.
2) It is extremely important to understand the patient’s history; which includes an in-dept assessment of their overall body function and lifestyle (sleep, physical activity, food habits, etc).
3) Offer a personalized solution, regardless the symptom being specific or local. It’s extremely important to find the root cause of symptoms. The idea of Preventative Medicine to treat the symptom from the core and not just give a temporary relief.
4) Probiotics can be beneficial for all people, especially after taking antibiotics. Consumption of the right probiotics, can positively affect the diversity of your gut microbiome and improve immunity
5) Even in a sunny place like UAE, it is very common to see people with very low levels of Vitamin D, which is having an adverse effect on their immune system, gut health, mood etc.
