Summary

Dr. Sara Gottfried, MD is the Director of Precision Medicine at the Marcus Institute of Integrative Health at Thomas Jefferson University. Her work in precision medicine involves tracking data flows via wearables for her patients, who range from corporate executives to professional athletes.

Initially developed as a medical model for cancer research, precision medicine is now being used more broadly, beyond oncology, as a highly personalized approach to treating patients.

The data streams that Dr. Gottfried pools include biomarkers such as blood, urine, hormones, and cellular micronutrients. She also relies on genomic testing, an important factor when it comes to performance, recovery, and determining risk of injury. Another reference is data sets from wearables themselves (ex. WHOOP, Apple Watch, Garmin, Oura Ring, etc.).

“Precision medicine,” says Dr. Gottfried, “is pulling together all those data streams so that we can personalize what is true for you.”

Listen in as Dr. Gottfried explains how athletes and other top-performers looking to maximize their longevity can benefit from working with a specialist in precision medicine.
