What Is Health Optimization Medicine? | HOMe Podcast #001

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 You can also find this episode on… Youtube: https://youtu.be/wuCXmT783_o Find more from Health Optimization Medicine and Practice (HOMeHOPe): Website: https://homehope.org/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/homehopeorg/ Virtual Symposium 2026:https://homehope.org/homehope-virtual-symposium-2026 Use PODCAST10 to get 10% OFF your purchase of the Clinical Metabolomics Module at https://www.homehope.org/ Find more from Troscriptions: Website: https://troscriptions.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/troscriptions/ Use POD10 to get 10% OFF your Troscriptions purchase at https://www.troscriptions.com/
