Evolutionary Medicine

The Exposome is the systemic, unbiased, -omic scale examination of non-genetic factors contributing to health and disease. It is also known as the “environmental genome” i.e. the cumulative lifetime exposure to three environments: General External (social capital, education, financial status, etc), Specific External (radiation, infectious agents, pollutants, dyes, chemicals, etc), and Internal (hormones, physical activity, gut microbiome, etc). In this module, students learn how to use advanced testing to detect and correct the environmental genome to optimize the health of their clients.

Chronobiology is the science investigating cyclic phenomena in living organisms. These cycles or biological rhythms influence many cellular processes. There are circadian, infraradian, ultraradian rythyms, and more. When there are imbalances in these rhythms, many aspects of health may be deleteriously affected. In HOMeHOPe, we detect biological rhythm imbalance using advanced testing that includes metabolomics, polysomnography, wearables, and other tech. Students then learn how to health optimize using immediately available lifestyle changes, dietary changes, and targeted supplementation.
