Actionable Insights

1. Prioritize Early Prevention

Shift your health strategy towards “absurdly early preventative measures” for chronic conditions, as these are now the dominant source of morbidity and mortality, moving beyond acute care.

2. Seek Personalized Healthcare

Advocate for and pursue highly personalized medical approaches, as this is a core tenet of Medicine 3.0, which aims to improve longevity and address chronic conditions effectively.

3. Adopt Evidence-Informed Approach

Base your health decisions on “evidence-informed” guidelines rather than solely “evidence-based” ones, signifying a more nuanced and adaptive approach to medical knowledge within Medicine 3.0.

4. Think Scientifically

Cultivate a scientific way of thinking by formulating hypotheses, designing experiments to test them, measuring results against predictions, and iterating to correct your understanding of the natural world.

5. Demand Healthcare Evolution

Actively “demand change” to accelerate the adoption of Medicine 3.0, recognizing that the speed of this transition depends on how quickly people adopt and advocate for it.
