The LIFE-HOUSE research project is designed to evaluate the impact of a personalized lifestyle intervention program on functional capacity as an approach to quantitating health, and its relationship to well understood disease risk determinants. LIFE-HOUSE will utilize an innovative Tent-Umbrella-Bucket design. Participants will gather under the Tent of an all-inclusive 'N of 1' Case Series providing a shelter of Functional Medicine interventions against the storm of chronic disease. Under this Tent are a collection of Umbrellas where participants with similar clinical challenges are evaluated as clinically defined groups with loose guidelines for the planned interventions. Finally, participants standing under these Umbrellas may step into specific Buckets that gather individuals with nearly identical clinical presentations into more formally described prescriptive randomized arms for intervention. Individuals will be offered the opportunity to participate in all Umbrellas and Buckets for which they qualify. They may accept or reject participation in any Umbrella or Bucket and yet remain eligible for participation in the overall Tent.
