If your goal is to live to be a happy, healthy centenarian, which I think is a great goal for most people, if you could be physically healthy and lift your grandkids and enjoy life and go on hikes, we have to assess you periodically and gauge, are we trending the right way or the wrong way? And the system's not built to do that.

The system is built to push you in, push you out, monetize your chronic disease and profiteer off of the drugs. And doctors are nothing more than an unwitting patsy in the process.

So, I mean, I can tell you real world, the doctors care. They're exhausted. There's a massive shortage in primary cares. A study done by Harvard said there's going to be 30% less primary cares in the next five years. Most primary cares, when interviewed, said they are not happy with their job and they don't want to be doing it in three to five years. It is an exhausting beat down of a job.

And it's because of this pace. They're not. It's the pace. It's that you don't allow them to solve problems. It's that it's been corporately captured. Most primary cares in America are now part of big conglomerates. So even let's go back to big insurance. Blue Cross Blue Shield went out and bought Kelsey Siebel. Kelsey Siebel is one of the biggest primary care practices in the country.

It is owned by the insurance companies. Okay, when I owned a blood lab and I went out and educated clinicians on the importance of running that comprehensive blood work annually, and my clinicians started running that, thousands of clinicians around the country, within months, they all got letters from the insurance carriers saying, what are you doing? We don't want you running this blood work.

It costs us money. Go back to running a basic lipid panel, knock on the knee, look in the ear, test their eyes and look at a basic lipid panel of triglyceride cholesterol, which tells us minimally nothing, right? Because you don't have the full range of what's going on. And that's the challenge. We can't get proactive and predictive and preventative if we aren't able to look at

I think it's a multitude of things. I hate to go that far, but one, an easy low-hanging fruit that we could all agree on is... The insurance companies look at that and go, why do I want them to run a $500 blood test when I can pressure them into running a $50 blood test, right? And now, why would I want to uncover something that could lead to a surgery that costs me more money?
