Obesity

There is a viscous cycle. Metabolic problems like diabetes, obesity, and prediabetes cause insulin resistance. This allows for an increase in body fats, the bad fats. This increases the incidence of obesity and even more insulin resistance. This is aggravated by a high glucose diet, high fat diet, stress and the lack of exercise. Food scientists have found out what to add as ingredients in fast foods that attract the pleasure center of the brain with these toxic foods that makes a person starve and crave these foods despite an overdose of calories. In part, due to the insulin resistance, sugar can not get into the cells for energy, so people eat more. Diabetes treatment and screening need to do more than just deal with Blood Sugar.

DHI is working on new screening tests for detection and prevention of metabolic problems like diabetes, insulin resistance, and prediabetes.  This includes breath testing for markers of these hidden problems, inflammation tests, and new solutions for treatment.

Childhood obesity

DHI is working on ways to allow kids to use an App to test themselves for the benefits of proper nutrition and exercise.   We are also working on new ways to support the medical profession to better evaluate the baseline metabolic state and new ways to combat metabolic impairment with breath tests and our new metabolic chart.
