Catch It Early: Data-Backed Ways to Shift Disease Risk Before It Happens (Solo Episode)

Episode Highlights From Katie The concept of the “Four Horsemen” of chronic disease and why 85% of people over 50 die from one of these conditions. What these diseases share in common: long, silent development over years or decades before symptoms appear. Why traditional screening often catches disease too late. And how new data and AI tools can identify risk far earlier. The difference between 10-year risk scoring and lifetime risk (and why most people never receive the latter). Why cancer screening is age-based rather than risk-based and how this overlooks key early indicators. How AI-driven assessments like Catch use massive datasets to calculate disease risk more accurately than traditional methods. What I learned from my own cancer risk assessment and why it shifted my thinking about proactive health. Why foundational lifestyle inputs (sunlight, vegetables, oily fish, hydration, minerals, sleep, movement, and avoiding chronic inflammation) are more powerful than supplements in reducing long-term disease risk. The connection between allergies, immune signaling, inflammation, and long-term disease patterns. How early lifestyle patterns influence future metabolic, cardiovascular, and cognitive health. Simple, data-backed ways to lower lifelong risk starting today without fear, overwhelm, or chasing expensive solutions. Resources Mentioned Catch
