There is no solution. The problem is not in the lack of funding or interest from investors. The public itself is not interested in preventing. They think the probability of something bad happening for them is low (for example heart attack) thus they are not willing to put in the effort and proactively try to prevent it (for example by exercising). This can be either from a lack of accurate data or even when the data is accurate and available someone might still interpret it differently. For me a 3 percent chance might be insignificant for someone else 1 percent is still high. |

Which is ironic because we all know someone who’s had a heart attack, cancer or a stroke.
And if someone decides to make lifestyle changes, they’re often going against society and the medical establishment.
A friend recently was able to stop taking her diabetes and hypertension meds after she did things her doctors discouraged her from doing, like intermittent fasting, which I told her about.
Now she distrusts doctors because they told her she’d have take these meds for the rest of her life.
