About Me and this website
Hello, I am Gil who is a husband and a father of 2 young men now in my 50’s. Genetics plays a role in many diseases, including heart disease and cancer. Both my paternal and maternal side have a history of a heart and cancer conditions, respectively. For the same reason Doctors want to know both paternal and maternal history, is the reason why I believe actions towards improving overall metabolic health can have an impact on either avoiding or greatly reducing the problem of the genes we are given. At 32 years of age, my older brother passed, and a lot had to do with not living a healthy life. It was a rude awakening for me, and I had to change my lifestyle to try to avoid my family’s genealogical bad actors. However, it’s important to note that other factors such as lifestyle and environmental factors can also influence a person’s risk for a particular disease. It’s a good idea to talk to a healthcare professional about your family history and any steps you can take to reduce your risk for these conditions.
I am a Chemical engineering by profession and it is a field that applies the principles of chemistry, physics, and mathematics to design, develop, and optimize chemical processes and systems. While chemical engineers may not have direct training in human biology and physiology, they can use their expertise in understanding certain aspects of the field by applying their knowledge of physical and chemical processes to explain certain aspects of human biology and metabolism.
When it comes to human biology, chemical engineers can use their knowledge of physical and chemical processes to explain the functioning of different organ systems in the body, such as the cardiovascular and respiratory systems, and how they work together to maintain homeostasis.
In terms of metabolism, chemical engineers can use their understanding of biochemical reactions and metabolism to explain how different metabolic pathways in the body work, such as the process of breaking down food for energy and storing it in the body. They can also use their expertise in mass and energy transfer to explain how different metabolic processes are regulated and how they can be altered to improve metabolic health.
Chemical engineers can also use their knowledge of physical and chemical process to explain the mechanisms of diseases, such as chemical imbalances in the brain or genetic disorders, and can use that to understand how different drug therapies work by looking at their chemical and physical interactions with the body.
Moreover, chemical engineers can apply their knowledge in chemical process and separation techniques to understand how organs and tissues are separated, stored and transported in the medical field and can develop more efficient techniques.
Now for 20 years, I feel healthier than I did in my early 20’s and stronger. I knew eating healthier was one of the biggest components along with exercise which began my journey into staying active. It wasn’t until later in life where I better understood how overall metabolic physiology the ultimate key was in optimizing an overall healthy life and making it resilient to natural and unnatural immunodeficiency disorders.
As for me, I continue to research, study, and learn from experts’ knowledge and experiences. I started this site, not only for myself to have all my research in one source I can readily have access to, but to share this information to my family, friends, and colleagues. I hope you can also join in this journey and find this material valuable in building a Resilient Metabolic Healthy lifestyle.
Overall, while chemical engineers may not have direct training in human biology and physiology, their expertise in chemical and physical processes can provide valuable insights and perspectives in understanding certain aspects of human biology, metabolism and disease, and potentially contribute to the development of new treatments and diagnostic tools.
