Watch the interview or listen on https://youtu.be/SIYCVgcP47E What is Precision Medicine? Personalized health plans for optimal wellbeing...Precision Medicine is a genetics-based approach to personalized care. Informed by biometrics, genomics, and lifestyle factors, our health plans include individualized recommendations for diet, exercise, sleep, mental health, disease risk reduction, and more. Dr. Matthew Dawson attended medical school at The University of Kentucky before completing his residency in emergency medicine at The University of Utah, where he served as both chief resident and fellow. He has practiced medicine and was an associate professor at the University of Kentucky for 7 years, with an acute interest in functional medicine and, later, genomics. Dr. Dawson’s obsession with performance optimization began well before medical school. In high school, he would implement any fitness or nutrition technique that’d give him ‘an edge’ in athletics, resulting in college scholarship offers in two sports. Dr. Dawson carried this obsession with him through medical school and into his profession as a physician, earning numerous national awards for education, innovation, and leadership on account of his research and approach to health care.  ‍Dr. Dawson crystallized this approach to providing patients with true health care, rather than sick care, by building Wild Health – a Precision Medicine service providing personalized, genetics-based care to help patients achieve optimal wellbeing. In that, Dr. Dawson has also trained thousands of physicians in Precision Medicine through online education, and has lectured in over twenty countries around the world. Dr. Dawson also co-hosts the Wild Health Podcast, a tool for teaching thousands about personalized, genetics-based Precision Medicine. His passion to help patients maximize their health span and perform at their absolute best considers all aspects of health: mental, physical, and spiritual.   Fast Facts:  Started a landscaping business in middle school – sold it in high school Co-owner & Chief Farming Officer of the Kentucky Castle CEO, Co-Founder of Wild Health Co-Founder of Ultrasound Leadership Academy – he traveled the country and world training thousands of doctors in point of care ultrasound Real Estate Investor  Learn more on https://www.wildhealth.com/ Get started here- https://app.wildhealth.com/getstarted/ Dr. Matt Dawson explains what drove him to create Wild Health program.
