In this episode of the Health Optimization Medicine Podcast, the HOMeHOPe Faculty comes together for a roundtable conversation exploring the core philosophical framework behind Health Optimization Medicine.

Dr. Scott Sherr, Boomer Anderson, and Dr. Allen Bookatz break down the three fundamental perspective shifts that redefine how we think about health, disease, aging, and the human body itself. Rather than focusing on disease management, this episode introduces the foundational principles behind building health from the cellular level up.

Join us as we delve into: • The shift from pathogenesis (studying disease) to salutogenesis (creating health) • Why longevity alone isn't enough without vitality and morbidity compression • How neotenization focuses on restoring youthful biological function • The concept of the holobiont: humans as ecosystems of interconnected organisms

This episode is for you if: • You want to understand the philosophy behind Health Optimization Medicine • You're curious why modern healthcare focuses on disease instead of health • You're interested in metabolomics, cellular health, and systems biology • You want a deeper framework for longevity, vitality, and resilience
