What We Believe
• Aging is a dis-ease which can be
delayed, prevented, or even reversed.
• We are not mere victims of our
genetic endowments.
• Chronic inflammation is the major
cause and the principle effect of the
diseases of civilization.
Not a haphazard, trial and error,
supplement/recipe/food du jour, jump on the
bandwagon approach.

Antecedents
Antecedents are
predisposing factors that
determine which diseases
you are vulnerable to as
you age. We have put
them into 5 categories:
“GULCH.”
G – Genes
U – Uterine Environment
L – Life Experiences
C – Choices
H – Habits

Genes

Uterine
Environment

Life
Experiences

Choices

Habits
Triggers
WORK-RELATED
URBANICITY
POOR NUTRITION
LACK OF SLEEP
TOXINS
EMOTIONAL
STRESS
HORMONAL
IMBALANCE
INFECTION
PACE
DRUGS

Triggers comprise acute
and chronic stressors
(life’s “slings & arrows”)
that precipitate or
“trigger” the DOCs you
are vulnerable to based
on your “GULCH”
antecedents.
Mediators

Hormones

Metabolic
Parameters

Growth
Factors

Neurotransmitters

Immune
Cells

The term mediators refers collectively to the specific biological
imbalances, brought about by your unique antecedents and
triggers, that drive your particular symptoms and diseases.
Because they can be measured, they should be measured.
