People often inquire about my current endeavors. As a techie, I find joy in serving as a tech mentor & leadership coach, aiding tech leaders in their quest for true leadership mastery. It's been a fulfilling journey, positively impacting many individuals over the years.
Those familiar with me know my emphasis on mindfulness, mindset improvement, and "hacking the software of the mind." These aspects are foundational for developing essential leadership qualities.
As a scientist, delving into biohacking, epigenetics, and functional medicine, I've unearthed a common thread - imbalanced neurotransmitter levels (I wrote about this in an earlier blog article.) Neglecting our body's needs due to constant stress and a fast-paced lifestyle leads to mental health conditions, such as burnout, depression, or anxiety, and is a pitfall many face, as I did over 15 years ago.
In my recent observations, I've found that beyond neurotransmitter imbalances affecting mood and performance, many individuals I collaborate with harbor underlying chronic health conditions.
Are you aware of the rising challenges impacting individuals' health today?
For example, people suffering from a metabolic syndrome, a cluster of biochemical and physiological abnormalities associated with the development of cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, and type 2 diabetes.
Others suffer from rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic disease that causes inflammation around the body and commonly presents with pain in the joints.
Last, but not the least, many of us are experiencing long covid or post vaccination symptoms, or related problems such as neuroinflammation or auto-immune diseases. All of these are on the rise (see the statistics I mentioned in my previous blog article on improving employee wellbeing in the workplace).
The challenge lies in the persistence of chronic conditions that won't disappear with time or delay.
They demand prioritization and attention, as there are no quick fixes available. Typically, individuals seek advice from healthcare professionals, but medications prescribed often target symptoms rather than addressing the root cause. This issue reflects a broader concern within our medical system, highlighting the need for significant reform, a process that may span years.
In the meantime, what are options that can be helpful right now?
Leveraging epigenetic gene regulation in 7-steps:
If you are a leader, your levels of energy, resilience, and well-being are crucial for achieving impact and delivering results.
I have devised a methodology based on the science of epigenetics, functional medicine, biohacking, and micronutrients. This approach tackles the root cause and fills in the gaps of your body’s systems, enabling them to regenerate and function optimally. The focus is on fixing pieces of a broken system, allowing the body’s intelligence and self-regulation abilities to be restored.
I utilize epigenetic gene regulation (1) to enhance well-being through a meticulous 7-step process:
Understanding gene function and potential variations through scientific research.
Analyzing the patient's DNA to determine gene inheritance and variations (SNPs.)
Assessing the gene's epigenetic history to identify possible environmental impacts (2).
Utilizing laboratory diagnostics in functional medicine to evaluate current gene expression effects.
Examining acquired knowledge in a comprehensive context to understand broader system implications.
Developing integrative therapies incorporating lifestyle changes and nutrients for positive gene regulation.
Monitoring progress and adjusting interventions accordingly for optimal outcomes.
You can quickly see how much complexity is hidden here. Since I have been practicing this approach for many years, I have built up a certain wealth of experience over time that helps me to go through this process effectively.
I encourage you to review my resilience++ program, for which I provide different coaching and training options.
Remember: The best time for upgraded health is always NOW.
Yours,
Reiner
