The stealth education

Daniel Grant, MD

“How to be healthy without knowing it?

As students of health and science, we are taught to look at our patients from a very direct and objective standpoint, learning as much as we can in order to be able to fix the body, cure diseases and further manage patients and their families. But what about all the things we can do without even realizing that, at the same time, improve our health?

This is what Stealth Medicine is all about. It’s based on 6 fundamental concepts: light , not just in its physical sense, but in the way it affects our mood, cognition and wellbeing; sound , from the way it can both makes us fall asleep or drive us insane, to the way it molds our brains since long before have the power to affect our overall health; and finally, the you and me , pertaining to the way we, as social creatures, affect the health of others, and also the way our own self-image influences our overall wellbeing.

As a means to spread the word on the Stealth Medicine approach to health, Dr. Daniel Grant created The Stealth Doctor output. He shares his word across multiple platforms, aiming to educate and enlighten everyone about all the ways that we could be healthy without explicitly working towards it, but at the same time doing things that perhaps we never imagined would have such a positive impact on ourselves.

(a talent that would later contribute to his success in becoming a NHS Clinical Entrepreneur). In medicine, though, he is an MD, having started his career as an Extreme Environment Physiologist and Advance Immunologist.

Daniel fell in love with space at a very young age, and he received the news that he could study it as a part of his degree with delight. His love and interest for the impact of extreme environments on the human body later led him into Space Medicine. Daniel’s increased involvement in Space Medicine led him to take a course in Principles of Aviation and Space Medicine at The University of Texas, where his knowledge in physiology expanded as he understood more about the way this environment influences our body.

Astronauts are a microcosm of preventative medicine - you have to make sure they’re healthy enough to travel, and then keep them healthy while they’re up there. You can do this by manipulating their environment to ensure they stay fit and well. Decades of working with astronauts has now informed our understanding of bone and muscle development, balance, blood pressure, circadian rhythms and so much more.

Through all these passions - across science and art, he now wants to focus on helping people stay well - especially through environment, culture, and also by using the growing medtech phenomenon to help people. Utilizing skills learned from all areas, he now talks about health through Stealth. Dan has been to NASA, shaken hands with astronauts and given lectures in Space Medicine. In fact, it was from his passion for space medicine that the initial idea for stealth health came to light. It’s fair to say that the ideas behind Stealth Health were born in Space.

It goes without saying that space exploration has allowed us to understand our solar system, our planet, energy, weather and the very roots of our existence more than ever before. But did you know we’ve also learnt loads about the human body and medicine?

He is The Stealth Doctor.
