4. Understanding Our Adversaries – Part 2
In the last Module, we looked at two of the four horsemen, cardiovascular disease and cancer. In this Module, we will follow up with the other two horsemen: neurodegenerative disease and metabolic disease. By the end of the Module, you will be able to form a complete picture of your risk for each of the four horsemen and will be equipped to continue completing your Longevity Risk Assessment™. We will also provide some advice here on finding a medical provider who can help you work on your goals and who will be knowledgeable (or at least open-minded) about pushing the envelope on what is possible in your health care. Remember, our goal for the first part of this program is to develop a refined and personalized understanding of the risks that will keep you from achieving the goals you set out for yourself in Module 1.
