What happens when a research university and a global patient-advocacy organization set out to catch cancer before symptoms appear? In this episode ⁨ @jainamit74 of ⁨ @Precision_Pulse_with_Amit sat with Rodrigo Mora of CICICA, University of Costa Rica and Maria Lourdes of ⁨ @Inspire2liveChannel and discussed real-world implementation of a clinical diagnostic test (OncoSeek) for early risk assessment across 9 types of cancer, built through a partnership between the University of Costa Rica (CICICA – Cirugía y Cáncer) and Inspire2Live in Costa Rica.

Few moments that stayed with us forever:
* If the algorithm flags a high risk of cancer, it can also determine the tissue of origin — not just whether someone is high-risk, but the possible location

* In oncology, the problem is the huge waiting lists — patients wait a year for a colonoscopy, two years for a mammography. A tool that tells you whether you might have one of nine cancers offers real relief

* Many physicians came to take the test themselves — even our health minister came to have it done. People really believe in this

* Technology and patient education can't be separated — you have to be just as clear about a test's limitations as its promise

Grateful to Rodrigo Mora and Maria Lourdes for a candid conversation

In this episode of Precision Pulse, host Amit Kumar Jain sits down with Erin Lubien — strategist, communicator, and recovery coach — to explore how precision practices can transform recovery into a pathway for purpose and self-mastery.

Erin shares her deeply personal journey from addiction to empowerment, revealing how small, intentional actions — morning structure, emotional awareness, mindful reflection — can rebuild not just sobriety, but identity and balance.

Together, we discuss the science and soul of personalized recovery, the power of self-control & tracking, and how specifically optimized practices can help anyone navigate transition, resilience, and growth.

“Precision isn’t about perfection — it’s about presence & self awareness.”

A grounded, inspiring conversation that bridges wellness, science, and human experience — and reminds us that every intentional moment moves us closer to wholeness.
