In this episode of The DNA of Things, host Dr. Jeremy Koenig welcomes Wayne Eskridge, founder and CEO of the Fatty Liver Foundation, to discuss his transformative journey from engineering innovator to passionate health advocate. After being misdiagnosed with non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), Wayne shifted his focus from technological breakthroughs to revolutionizing liver health awareness and early detection. The conversation explores the role of genomics in personalized medicine, the intersection of DNA, environment, and behavior in managing health, and the systemic challenges of advancing proactive care models. Wayne's insights highlight the importance of leveraging cutting-edge technology, fostering wellness, and building partnerships to create meaningful change in patient advocacy.
Episode Highlights:

  • Health Advocacy Through Personal Experience: Wayne Eskridge’s journey from being misdiagnosed with NASH to founding the Fatty Liver Foundation underscores the power of personal experiences in driving meaningful health advocacy.
  • The Importance of Genomics in Health: Genomic sequencing can provide actionable insights into individual health risks, comorbidities, and personalized treatment plans, as illustrated by Wayne’s discovery of his genetic predispositions.
  • Technology's Role in Early Diagnosis: Advancements in non-invasive liver screening technologies are reshaping the ability to detect and manage liver disease earlier, potentially improving outcomes for countless patients.
  • Systemic Challenges in Healthcare: Despite advances in diagnostics and personalized care, implementing these tools widely faces significant barriers due to the inertia in medical systems and existing care models.
  • The Paradigm Shift to Wellcare: Transitioning from a crisis-intervention model to a proactive wellness approach requires systemic changes and increased focus on long-term health strategies.
  • Empowerment Through Knowledge: Individuals need to take ownership of their health by leveraging available tools, seeking education, and advocating for their well-being, rather than relying solely on the healthcare system.
  • Philanthropy's Critical Role: Philanthropic investments are essential for scaling health awareness campaigns and supporting the adoption of innovative care models that focus on prevention and long-term well-being.
  • Health as a Lifelong Choice: Wayne emphasizes the importance of daily health choices, aligning one’s DNA, environment, and behavior to build a resilient and thriving life while avoiding preventable health crises.
