In this enlightening return episode, host Jodi Duval welcomes back Dr Ted Achacoso, affectionately known as ‘Dr Ted’, to explore the revolutionary approach of Health Optimisation Medicine and Practice. Jodi shares her personal admiration for Dr Ted, noting his exceptional intelligence, fearless leadership, mentorship abilities, and refreshing combination of humour and lightheartedness. She also reveals her professional connection as CEO of HOMeHOPe in Australia, a non-profit organisation under Dr Ted’s guidance.
This comprehensive discussion delves into:
- The history and development of HOMeHOPe as a clinical framework focused on creating standards of care in health rather than disease
- The clear distinctions between biohacking approaches and the structured methodology of HOMeHOPe
- How HOMeHOPe differs from functional medicine, eliminating points of confusion
- The establishment of Health Optimisation as a distinct medical specialty with its own educational pathways
- The fundamental principles of HOMe (for physicians) and HOPe (for non-physician practitioners)
- The rationale behind this innovative approach to medical practice
- The concept of “salutogenesis” as a multi-omics clinical specialty
- How HOMeHOPe protocols can be integrated with other health technologies
- Insights into Troscriptions and their unique position within emerging psychedelic therapies
Pioneered in the Philippines over a decade ago, Health Optimisation Medicine and Practice represents a groundbreaking approach to healthcare. The recently completed self-paced online course ‘Essential Health Optimisation Medicine and Practice’ features seven modules covering the Seven Pillars of HOMe/HOPe: Clinical Metabolomics, Bioenergetics (Mitochondria), Gut-Immune System (Microbiota), Clinical Exposomics, Epigenetics, Chronobiology, and Evolutionary Medicine.
The Health Optimisation Medicine and Practice Association, a US-based tax-exempt non-profit organisation, is leading a global effort to train healthcare providers in this new clinical framework. Virtual preceptorships provide country-specific guidance on clinical metabolomics lab options and supplement sources, with the initiative extending across Europe, UK, Australia, US, and Asia.
Dr Ted’s impressive background includes attaining a biology degree at 18 and a medical doctorate at 22. His mentors include pioneering figures in anti-aging medicine, nutritional medicine, artificial intelligence, socially responsible investing, interventional neuroradiology, neurology, and pharmacology.
