Environmental & physical exposures

The air you breathe, the radiation you receive, the materials you live among. Most of these you can measure, mitigate or avoid.

Lifestyle exposures

Body weight, movement, sleep, stress, infections and oral health — the highest-leverage personal levers we know of.

Occupational & chemical exposures

Hazards encountered at work or through specific products and applications. Many are regulated; vigilance and protective equipment matter most.
