DR PHEIFFER’S ADVICE TO WOMEN: “Take responsibility for your own success and don’t depend on others to get you there.” But quite soon after that, I realised it wasn’t good enough. If I was doing all of this research, I could only help a limited number of patients a day. So, I thought, how could I help more?

This means each person reacts to treatment protocols, medicines, foods and exercise differently, and a unique plan designed for your unique makeup is the best way to deliver optimal results.

In this way we can often prevent the disease from arising, rather than waiting for the patient to get ill and then trying to patch the holes in the bucket. ‘One size fits all’ is old medicine—precision medicine is the future. Health is not just the absence of disease. We should
