Foundations in Personalized Medicine
Identifying & Addressing The Root Cause of Disease
Healing chronic disease requires a fundamental shift from the current medical philosophy. While modern medicine is incredibly effective and lifesaving in managing acute conditions such as trauma and infections, it often falls short when addressing chronic disease. Traditional approaches frequently target downstream processes and surface-level symptoms, overlooking the underlying issue—cellular dysfunction.
With few exceptions, chronic disease is the manifestation of cellular dysfunction. Thus, our primary objective must be optimizing cellular function, regardless of the specific condition or symptom.
Achieving this goal requires moving away from the prevailing reductionist, algorithmic, one-size-fits-all approach. What helps one individual may be ineffective or even harmful to another. Without embracing personalized medicine, it’s nearly impossible to determine if treatment will benefit or harm a patient.
Together, we will explore a revolutionary new approach to uncovering the underlying factors that dictate health and disease. Our program will teach you the foundational principles required to uncover, identify, and address the root causes of chronic disease, empowering you to deliver personalized, targeted, and holistic care.

The Curriculum
Our goal will be to optimize your patient’s health. Focusing on health allows us to play offense and empowers us to be proactive rather than reactively moving away from disease. If we focus on creating healthy humans, then as a by-product, risk factors, labs, and symptoms will also improve. The closer we get to health, the more we move away from disease. At a certain point, the patient may no longer meet their current ICD-11 code criteria.
The exception is if the damage has become irreversible. However, our concept of irreversible disease is poorly understood. We tend to give up prematurely and don’t give enough credit to our body’s ability to heal. A condition we might deem as fixed or progressive still has the potential to improve if we shift the focus away from the disease and instead prioritize how we can create health.
A health-centric model provides more favorable outcomes than a disease-centric model.
The entire program is self-paced, with access to a members-only group chat should any questions arise. The curriculum is divided into ten core modules.
Module 1: A New Paradigm for Health and Disease
Module 2: The Personalized Medicine Approach to the Patient
Module 3: Rethinking Disease Classifications: Systems Medicine and Network Medicine
Module 4: Foundations in Molecular Medicine
Module 5: Foundations in Metabolism
Module 6: Foundations in Immune Function
Module 7: Foundations in Genetics
Module 8: The Limbic System
Module 9: Multi-Omics
Module 10: Hallmarks of Aging

Andrew Reid
Here is a brief overview of my educational background:
- Bachelor’s in Biology, California State University Dominguez Hills, 2010
- Physician Assistant Program, University of California Davis, 2012
- Master’s in Physician Assistant Studies, AT Still University, 2013
- Master’s in Personalized Nutrition, University of Connecticut, 2025
- Didactic Program in Dietetics, California State University Los Angeles, 2026 (currently enrolled)
I founded Medgeeks in 2012 to help clinicians excel in exams, rotations, and board preparation. Over time, this mission expanded into supporting practicing clinicians in primary care. As my perspective on health and disease evolved, so has my career path. I am entering a new phase in my professional career, where I want to redefine what it truly means to be healthy.
I want to highlight the complex biochemical mechanisms underlying disease to empower clinicians to practice personalized medicine. My daughter’s experience demonstrated how our current reductionist approach to medicine can fail in the face of chronic disease. There was a time when I thought I might lose her. But after learning how to identify and address the root cause of her condition—rather than mindlessly following established guidelines—I no longer have those thoughts. Today, she is healthy, growing, and thriving!
I’m thankful I never settled for the “next best step.” I questioned the system, challenged the status quo, and refused to let my daughter become another statistic. Had I followed the algorithm without question, our story would have turned out very differently.
The same philosophy and strategies that transformed my daughter’s health form the foundation of this new program. With this redefined view of health and disease, I’ve witnessed outcomes deemed “statistically impossible” by modern medicine. If we can accomplish this radical shift in health despite the complexity of her situation, then imagine what it can do for everyone else.
Every day, I’m grateful for the opportunity to do meaningful work. I’m also thankful for the resources that allowed me to guide my daughter from a rare disease diagnosis to a vibrant, thriving toddler. Helping her conquer significant health challenges has been the most profound experience of my life. This experience forced me to learn in ways I had never been taught, served as the catalyst for change, and forged the path I will follow for the rest of my life.
To illustrate just how intricate—and interconnected—her condition was, here is a summary of the specific dysfunctions we identified and addressed:
Primary mitochondrial disease: m.3243A >G mutation in the MT-TL1 gene with a 90% heteroplasmy.
Methylcrotonyl-coa carboxylase 2 deficiency (leucine metabolism)
MTHFR C677T homozygous mutation (folate metabolism)
Thrombocytopenia (platelets of 2,000 per µL)
Iron deficiency (ferritin of 10 ng/mL)
Failure to thrive (1% for weight for her age)
Suppressed appetite
Muscle weakness (gross motor development impacted)
Hyperlipidemia
Elevated lactic acid
Elevated CPK
Elevated growth differential factor 15 (GDF-15)
Oculogyric crisis/paroxysmal tonic upgaze
Vertical and horizontal nystagmus
