Nutrients, hormones and genomics vitally affect each of our
lives, shaping our lifelong mental and physical health, most powerfully at
conception and in early life. Speed of change, social, nutritional and
environmental, is exceeding our evolutionary adaptability. We have to use our
brains to remain a healthy race in today’s conditions, to stave off the
pandemic, the metabolic syndrome:

- Cardiovascular
disorders
- Obesity
– the visible tip of the iceberg
