What if healthcare focused on restoring health instead of simply treating disease?

In this episode of Behind The Practice, Katie Brinkley sits down with Stan Makoko, physician and co-founder of Prodrome Sciences, to explore a radically different approach to understanding health and disease.

Stan explains why he believes many chronic conditions begin with subtle changes at the cellular level long before symptoms appear. Rather than focusing only on diagnosing diseases after they develop, his work centers on identifying early biochemical and cellular changes that signal the body is moving away from optimal health.

Through advanced laboratory testing that analyzes thousands of cellular biomarkers, Stan and his team aim to detect these early warning signs and restore cellular function before serious health issues develop. This approach focuses on improving how the body adapts to stress, supports cellular membranes, and restores normal biological function.

During the conversation, Stan shares why he believes much of modern healthcare remains reactive, how cellular health impacts long-term wellness, and why many practitioners are beginning to rethink the traditional disease-focused model.

If you've ever wondered why healthcare often focuses on managing symptoms instead of restoring health, this episode offers a thought-provoking look at how cellular-level insights could reshape the future of preventive medicine.
