With advanced technology at our fingertips, wellness is no longer about reacting to issues — it’s about preventing them.
Bespoke diagnostics via high-tech body scans and ultra-sophisticated longevity supplements are taking the place of one-size-fits-all supplements and annual physicals, paving the way for the technology-backed future of health and well-being.
Body Scans: A Glimpse Inside
People can now stay steps ahead of chronic conditions, thanks to these high-tech scanners that are changing the way we identify and track diseases.
Neko Health, based in Stockholm, Sweden, is at the helm of the revolution, delivering insightful results within minutes (nekohealth.com). A non-invasive scanner touting 70 sensors channels state-of-the-art AI into data about our external skin and internal organ health. Walk into a scan center, and less than 10 minutes later, you have a personalized digital health portrait of your heart, liver, skin and inflammation.
From aneurysms to early stages of cancer, Prenuvo — available in some international locations, as well as throughout the United States mainland (prenuvo.com) — is paving the way with full-body MRIs that scan for over 500 conditions, without using radiation. They also have a handy app for early detection of “silent killers” at your fingertips.
For a local, more natural solution, the Center for Natural Healing Hawaii on Kimokeo Street in Honolulu offers thermography (naturalhealinghawaii. com). A holistic offering, radiation-free thermography detects heat patterns linked to inflammation, hormone imbalances, as well as disease formulation. Fast and painless, renowned naturopath and author Dr. Diana Joy Ostroff brings her 30-plus years of experience to kama‘aina on the journey to optimal health using early insights.
Dr. Ostroff specializes in identifying the underlying causes of health issues, rather than just focusing on addressing symptoms, once a problem is identified.
Following an initial 45-minute consultation, Ostroff offers tailored medicinal remedies, blood type-based nutrition plans, and lifestyle consulting.
The Rise of Smarter Supplements
Enhancing performance at cell level is replacing the era of nutritional supplements. Instead of popping that daily multivitamin or shot of B-12 every morning, going deeper enables your body to heal and restore at the microscopic level.
Once exclusively used for organ transplant patients, rapamycin has opened up to the larger, wellness-piqued public, particularly for its anti-aging potential (gethealthspan.com). Derived from Easter Island’s soil, experts are even calling it “the most promising longevity molecule of our time.” What makes rapamycin so powerful is that it’s a mTOR inhibitor — supplements that block mTOR (mechanistic Target of Rapamycin) activity. The mTOR protein enzyme plays a key metabolic role, regulating cell growth and responding to energy levels. When overactive, they can lead to diseases. So rapamycin is a hybrid; it can stop tumor cell growth, as well as extend cell lifespan.
Derived from pomegranate compounds, Mitopure by Timeline Nutrition boosts our mitochondrial function (timeline. com). Often called cell ”powerhouses,” mitochondria produce ATP (adenosine triphosphate), the main molecules that store and supply energy for cellular processes. Adding Mitopure to your routine can improve your metabolism, energy levels, and muscle resistance. This supplement is also touted to improve calcium storage, something that deteriorates as we age.
The next generation of reimagined supplements includes NOVOS Core, a master beverage blend of 12 bioactive compounds (novoslabs.com). This dream longevity elixir targets DNA repair, inflammation, and cellular resilience. This futuristic “everything you need to slow down aging in one daily dose” is ideal for adding to your morning hydration routine to improve longevity. While the patent is pending, the Harvard and MIT scientists who conjured this magic potion are seeing real-world results, with 81% of testers reporting benefits after two weeks of use.
In summary, preventative wellness is championing health freedom, rather than fear of the unknown. The health and wellness knowledge available can be used to empower us to nourish ourselves at a cellular level, avoid illness, and be the best version of ourselves.
These educational tools are encouraging us to take our health into our own hands. Use this newfound pre-emptive knowledge as power, whether bespoke or science backed.
Future you? Already thankful.
