My husband and I recently went to a holistic health practitioner for bioenergy testing, and we had an overall good experience. The testing was more detailed than anything we've ever experienced with an MD. For example, when experiencing infrequent pain on the right side of the abdomen, an appointment was never made because the MD would probably just advise staying hydrated or taking ibuprofen. But the bioenergy testing pointed to a liver issue.
Our only hang-up was with some interpretations of information. For example, one of us was flagged for excess calcium (which there's a previous diagnosis of from an MD and visible evidence of), and the practitioner argued that she didn't think so and claimed it was located elsewhere in the body.
All that being said, I do recommend bioenergy testing (ours was the Asyra testing). It's a great way to begin pinpointing root causes of issues.
I suggest you do an 'adipose tissue arachidonic acid insulin resistance' web search. When I do it, the AI Overview says, "Elevated levels of arachidonic acid in adipose tissue are associated with increased insulin resistance, particularly in the context of the metabolic syndrome. This association is thought to be linked to the role of arachidonic acid as a precursor to inflammatory mediators, which can disrupt insulin signaling pathways."
Most people alive today can expect to die from some form of heart disease or cancer. Why? Because most people are ingesting excessive amounts of arachidonic acid. The reason why a Meditarranean style diet protects people from these diseases is because it is typically low in arachidonic acid. Steve Blechman is the only one I've found thus far who has commented on the arachidonic acid content of the Mediterranean diet. Excerpt: "The Mediterranean diet is low in arachidonic acid and rich in healthy fats such as monounsaturated fats found in extra-virgin olive oil (EVOO), nuts and omega-3 fatty acids from fish, which has been shown to lower the risk of inflammation, heart disease, cancer, diabetes and obesity, and other degenerative diseases." https://advancedmolecularlabs.com/blogs/news/new-red-meat-study-controversy

I'm interested in hearing more about your dad's story. Did he figure out what the problem was and how to fix it?
