When we look at the future of healthcare, the potential is limitless. We understand nutrition at a higher level now than ever before, we understand causation now more than ever before. We understand how to prevent disease now more than ever before.. and a side note on that. Prevention is also the “cure” at times, it does the same thing in the body before or after the diagnosis. Something to keep in mind.
With our understanding of nutrition, science and the evolution of technology we are heading into a positive direction to have healthcare become better and better, so long as we keep big pharma and big agriculture, the culprits that create more disease at an arms length.
This is where Bill Gates enters.. claiming to want to help the world and improve healthcare for millions, with no medical background and history whatsoever.
Bill Gates Was Recently Quoted Saying:
How Will AI Effect Human Health?
First, let’s actually ask AI this question and see how it responds, then I will give my response as a health coach and nutrition advocate.
This is what AI has to say to the question “How will AI effect human health in the next 10 years?”
Here’s How ChatGPT Replied To This Prompt..
AI is poised to significantly impact human health over the next decade in several ways, both positive and potentially concerning. Here’s how:
Positive Impacts:
- Personalized Medicine – AI will help tailor treatments based on a person’s genetics, lifestyle, and environment, leading to more effective therapies with fewer side effects.
My response: This is a good thing, the more data we have the more personalized the approach can be to the individual to create higher quality healthcare for a cheaper cost. The challenge I foresee here is that companies will justify this ‘personalized approach’ and charge more, making it more out of reach for millions of citizens. - Early Disease Detection – AI-driven diagnostics, such as AI-assisted imaging and biomarker analysis, will improve early detection of diseases like cancer, Alzheimer’s, and cardiovascular conditions.
My response: I also see this as a good thing, the earlier we know that someone is in a diseased state (it’s a state) the sooner we can reverse that state through diet, nutrition, exercise, sleep and other lifestyle factors such as stress mitigation, community, spiritual connection and more. It is better to know about a challenge or problem earlier to be on the ball. - Revolutionized Drug Development – AI will accelerate drug discovery, reducing the time and cost required to develop new medications.
My response: Every doctor, scientist, pharmaceutical company and individual that is working in the direction of ‘better drug development’ is working in the wrong direction in my humble opinion. We already know and have plenty of science to show what prevents diseases like cancer, heart disease, neurodegenerative conditions, diabetes and more. Why work to make a bad product that creates side effects (drugs) better? When we can simply work in the direction that already favors health and well-being. Nutrition, stress mitigation, sleep optimization, community, clean air and water, less chemical toxicity in our food and personal care products. We already know the path to health and well-being forces us to partner with God’s creation, that’s a fact. Why try to ‘beat it’s and go in a direction that has proven itself or be detrimental since 1800’s?
This is where I see Bill Gates as dangerous. His company Moderna’s stock went from $15 a share in 2019 to $378 a share in 2021 shortly after Covid. That means the stock 25x’d in value right before and right after Covid.
Now let’s dig a little bit deeper financially. According to chatgpt:
Here’s what’s known:
2019: Bill Gates and his foundation, along with other investors, had helped fund Moderna. However, by the end of 2019, he didn’t have a large percentage of shares. His investment in Moderna was largely tied to its early-stage development of mRNA vaccines. He owned an undisclosed amount of shares.
2021: By this year, Bill Gates was reported to own less than 1% of Moderna, similar to his reduced stake in many companies. This would have equated to a smaller number of shares, potentially between 2 million and 3 million, though it’s not officially published.
2022: Gates’ ownership likely continued to decrease as he focused on philanthropy and diversified his investments. The number of shares was likely similar to or slightly lower than 2021, but specifics are not often detailed in public records. He is estimated to have had around 2-3 million shares in Moderna, representing less than 1% of the total shares.
So, the man started with a low share price, peaked out at the highest price the stock ever had, dropped the shares and went on to ‘philanthropy’ after that. Right. I don’t believe this was accidental. I believe it was intentional and planned. There’s billions of dollars in perfectly moved money at perfectly the right time to prove it. Moving on.. - AI-Powered Virtual Health Assistants – Wearables and smart devices will continuously monitor health metrics, providing real-time health advice and detecting issues before they become serious.
My response: This is awesome. We can train ourselves to eat well, move well, sleep well etc. I use different tracking devices to track my metabolism, fitness, sleep and more. These devices can allow me the guidance to learn to operate in a healthy manner in each of these categories. I think that’s a big win for humanity! We’ll be doing more with this on @healthywildfree so stay tuned! - Mental Health Support – AI-driven chatbots and virtual therapists could offer immediate mental health support and personalized coping strategies.
My response: I think that this is once again the wrong direction. I don’t think Chatbots and virtual therapists are going to be as helpful as we think. We have plenty of science that shows that community and in person connection is what makes people healthy and whole. To circumvent that with digital and virtual replacements simply is not the same and I believe it’s working in wrong direction, similar to pharmaceutical interests. - Precision Nutrition & Lifestyle Coaching – AI will optimize diet and lifestyle recommendations based on individual metabolic responses, potentially reducing chronic disease risk.
My response: I love this and see the potential here. We can focus more on prevention, diet, and lifestyle factors such as exercise and sleep health. There is a lot of potential here and I want to be a part of this future and will help build it! - Surgical Enhancements – AI-assisted robotic surgery will improve precision, leading to safer, minimally invasive procedures with faster recovery times.
My response: It makes sense to me, but I fear that if the software gets corrupted or hacked that this could be deadly and it’s a big leap, similar to Tesla’s self driving cars. I’m not 100% sold on this concept. - Epidemic & Pandemic Management – AI will enhance real-time disease tracking, predictive modeling, and vaccine development.
My response: Get the hell out of here with that BS AI! What a joke. I’m good on ‘disease tracking’ and ‘predictive modeling’ for disaster and vaccine (pharmaceutical) development. I’d rather have a real time ‘health tracking’ and ‘fitness tracking’ and ‘nutrition tracking’ model. Let’s use technology to be proactive, not reactive. Why build something that manages sickness when we can build something that manages and promotes health? It’s simply logical to work in a positive preventative direction.
Potential Concerns & Risks:
- Data Privacy Issues – Increased AI-driven health tracking could raise concerns about personal data security and misuse by corporations or governments.
My response: I can definitely see this. - Dependence on AI Diagnosis – Over-reliance on AI could lead to misdiagnoses if human oversight is minimized.
My response: Taking the human out of the equation can be harmful. There are intangible elements that do influence health that can easily be overlooked such as a person who is in complete isolation, this is a sickness in and of itself and AI will actually encourage this and sell them a “AI therapist” and recommend a drug for them to take which replaces the initial problem (social isolation) with two more problems that they now have to fix. When one health challenges turns into three health challenges, it’s working in the wrong direction. - Bias in AI Models – If AI training data lacks diversity, health disparities may increase due to inaccurate recommendations for certain populations.
My Response: This is very possible, and we have seen this already with humans doing trials on vaccines. Overlooked minority community such as Americans of African descent have higher reported rates of negative health implications from the vaccines than their white counterparts. This shows that many could be harmed by AI models and the development of these models as they roll out is very important. - Job Displacement in Healthcare – AI automation may replace some healthcare roles, shifting the job market significantly.
My response: This will happen, prepare yourself financially accordingly. - Mental & Physical Effects of AI Overuse – Constant interaction with AI-driven devices may contribute to digital fatigue, stress, and reduced physical activity.
My Response: This is an interesting perspective. I do believe that as people grow accustomed to digital health support and instant feedback of their own biomarkers that this can become challenging. To think that our devices and software that we have can fix our problems is almost as bad as relying on a drug. Insight is useless unless acted upon and having the guidance to act in the right direction. Getting biomarkers such as heart rate, heart rate variability (hrv) along with fitness and sleep metrics are useful, but only as useful as can be put into action by the user. The action needs to be directed to be prevention and nutrition oriented, not oriented towards drugs and vaccines. We need to outgrow big brother pharma, and move into the future that we create.
