Make this introduction your own:
The Reprogrammed Systems Model series is designed to be read in order for the deepest understanding of how your decisions lead to poor health and modern disease. However, keeping in mind the time restrictions that most of us are under, I have set up shortcuts that will enable you to receive the most important information first so that you can begin taking action in your own life.
To get started, begin reading this intro series in a way that works best for you. Then, feel free to explore this website, starting with the area you feel you need to address first. As you go along, I encourage you to think critically about the model, putting in serious thought as to what works best for your own body.
Begin with the followingn article to gain perspective on why this framework for learning to make healthy decisions is necessary. Then continue on below.
A Systems Approach
First, the ideal path:
- To get started, you will begin with an article designed to help you understand the context of the human body: The Design of the Human Body. With a brief introduction to the design of the human body, I am confident that you will be better-equipped to make decisions aligned with the design of your own body, thus reprogramming your body for better health.
- Once you understand the context of this system, you can then move on to Part I, to understanding the underlying mechanisms driving the disease/health state of the body. As I walk through these mechanisms I will build up a model that we can use to help us effectively address modern disease.
- Finally, once you understand the internal workings of the model, you can then move on to Part II, to understanding the practical implications of this model.
Move through this path by beginning with The Design of the Human Body, and then simplify follow the links at the bottom of each article. You can always access where you left off from the links at the bottom of this page.
Alternatively, if you find yourself short on time:
- I still encourage you to read through The Design of the Human Body. Understanding the context of the design of the human body is a crucial step towards the ability to make better decisions regarding our health.
- I encourage you to read the summary to Part I, in which I quickly walk through the internal workings of The Reprogrammed Systems Model.
- Start your in-depth reading with Part II, in which I walk through the practical useage of the model.
Part 1 – Building The Model
Here we will take the time to understand the overall structure of the model, along with the internal mechanisms at work. This includes a discussion on the underlying mechanisms driving modern disease, along with the core mechanism driving the dysfunction.
Modeling Modern Disease – Part I & Part II
A Missing Link – The Core Driver of Modern Disease
Energy Dysregulation – Understanding the Underlying Mechanisms
Summary – Understanding Internal Mechanisms Driving Modern Disease
Part II – Using the Model
Here I will take you through some of the key dietary and behavioral inputs that tie into the underlying mechanisms driving modern disease.
