But... I think the way to do that is you don't wait for people to get chronically ill. I should have never been at 25% body fat. If we were getting proactive and predictive and we were truly doing deep dives into individuals and taking the time for our clinicians in this country to sit down and assess you at the biological level. then we can prevent these chronic diseases.

And I'm not talking about through pharmaceutical intervention. We can prevent these through diet, lifestyle, nutrition, and helping teach the patient that there's a better way. And if we need to involve pharmaceutical intervention, it's there. There's options out there that can help patients kickstart their health and wellness, especially people in their 40s.

It took about a year. And that's where it gets crazy with the insurance model. So a lot of people don't know this. Most insurance carriers in the U.S. don't practice preventative. So testosterone would be considered a lifestyle drug.

The challenge with an issue like the DEA, if they really do over-regulate testosterone and shut telemedicine companies down from prescribing it, it's going to limit accessibility for these patients because primary carers don't want to prescribe it, right? And so they're going to punt them off to a urologist.

Typically, for an insurance company to cover it, you've got to have two or more fasted blood tests of a testosterone below 250 nanograms per deciliter. So that's a chronically ill man. I mean, that's... To come back twice, I mean, that's going to take you six months to get in with that urology. That's in the dream world. So just to get the insurance coverage, you're talking six months to a year.

And by then, that patient has been chronically ill, headed towards metabolic disease, diabetes. We know that testosterone is important to insulating us from certain types of cancer. It's important to our metabolic health, our bone mineral density, our lean muscle mass. All of these tie into... health and longevity and healthspan in preventing chronic disease.

I think somewhat, yes. But I also think the insurance model is an obstructionist model. And so I can give you a different example with the opioid crisis. There were non-addictive, non-abusive pain creams. If somebody is going to be put on โ€“ they have an ACL surgery. They're in pain. I'm not here to say there's no need to ever have a pain pill. But in those instances, there were alternatives.
