So every part of the system has incentivized people to make money off you being sick. And so then we're sitting here shocked. I heard Russell Brand go, oh yeah, it's shocking, America. Like you're all in awe over the fact that you're perpetually sick and that profits are at an all-time high, but you've built a system to have all-time high profits and make yourselves perpetually sick.

What's crazy is you're also describing the American health care system. That's that's where we've gone to because because it's all insurance based, the average clinician has six minutes with a patient even.

If we get proactive and predictive, if we start by taking a look under the hood, if we truly do a deep dive into you at the biological level and create checks and balances like you would in a business, like you would in any other aspect of life, you like to go, hey, am I headed towards my goal?

And the system's not built to do that.
