How Primary / Preventative Healthcare could be different



Healthcare could be more preventative / preventative doctors could exist / genetics could be used

Steroid treatment could worsen fungal infections / mold exposure

Hb1AC, post-meal glucose, and/or fructosamine could be tested regularly to check for insulin resistance / pre-diabetes

Women could be screened for PCOS / be treated for higher risk of diabetes and cardiovascular disease

Early lowering of ApoB could decrease heart disease

Thyroid / cortisol issues could be discovered beyond testing "TSH"

Biomarkers could be tracked to determine "inner age" / lifestyle changes / longevity

Breast cancer symptoms could show up in a variety of ways

Doxycycline / antibiotic prophylaxis could be preventative after a tick bite

Abbreviated MRIs could be better than mammograms / ultrasounds to detect breast cancer (particularly for younger women / dense breasts)

Screening could be standardized / increased for prediabetes and Type 2 diabetes

Loneliness / isolation / mental health could be screened for in healthcare

Cuban family doctors could be a model for primary healthcare

Telementoring / telemedicine could help underserved communities access quality healthcare
