And so for a nominal amount of money, you know, anywhere in it, I don't want to say nominal for, if you look at what you spend on a mattress, if you look at what you spend on a car, on a house, you know, You're not in that 24-7 for your entire life. You've got one body. 200 trillion to one are the chances you and I are here alive right now. We won the lottery, man. This is our one shot.
Don't put your body and your family's health in the hands of these insurance juggernauts and big pharma. Take sovereignty and accountability over your health. Do a basic blood panel with somebody out there. You mentioned Function, Merrick, Ways to Well. There's dozens of companies. It doesn't have to be my company. There are dozens of companies, if not hundreds. interview them.
I tell people to don't just go sign up with some random clinic. Think about how much you bid out a kitchen remodel. That's your kitchen. This is your body. Like don't blindly follow the first Yahoo that wants to put you on some hormone or peptide like or at least do the research and understand for yourself and the pathway to me that makes the most logical sense.
And this is future proofing your life. You don't want these insurance companies to be digging through your underwear drawer because they're going to use the data and the data they capture to eliminate you, deny, delay, and obstruct your ability to get care down the road or drop your coverage. So in a way, build your own life raft. And my goal is to make this affordable for everybody.
And I think the way we do that is through technology and large language models and algorithm-based medicine. But the vision would be get proactive, get predictive, do a basic blood panel, a comprehensive blood panel at least once a year. Use that to drive your health. If you could afford, you know, $75 to get a DEXA and a VO2 max and combine that with your blood work,
you have done more than 99.99% of society. And in the right hands of a solid clinician or algorithm, it can help guide you on the best path forward to prevent chronic disease and drive your health span. And if you capture your health span, like we said, and delay the onset of chronic disease, one of these brilliant people are going to come up with something. Somebody's going to solve the code.
What are you doing for VO2max? Uh, VO two max is just the test. And so what are you doing to improve yours? Oh, I train Muay Thai, but I train Muay Thai and I try to, uh, maintain like, I don't go into the red too often on my, my zone. And so I track all my heart rate, but I try to keep at minimal, uh, an active cardio schedule. Cause it's so easy.
The reason I started training Muay Thai is before I just lifted and I got all the way up to like one 90, you know, I'm short like one night I had dense muscle mass, but I was bulky and, And I was tired when I'd go on a freaking one mile jog. My cardio was trash. And I'm like, well, this isn't necessarily healthy, right?
Cardiovascular health is just as important, but lean muscle mass is important too, right? We know one of the biggest risk factors as we age is lean muscle mass and bone mineral density. And so we've got to protect that. And so I just try to pitch people on what Matthew McConaughey says, like be active, break a sweat every day. It's about being better, not perfect. And knowledge is power.
The more data you have, you don't have to be Brian Johnson and take 40 pills and track every single aspect of your life. I don't think that's sustainable for most people. Not that what he's doing isn't working for him and that that may not be if you can do it, go for it. But for a lot of people, it's about just being better.
You know, making slightly better choices, slightly better improvements, and then showing the reward system that you and I were discussing and quantifying what that means for them in their trajectory of long-term health. Fuck yeah. Brigham, let's bring this one home. Where should people go? They want to keep up to date with all your stuff. Waze, the number two well.
And then my personal is just Brigham.Buehler, B-U-H-L-E-R. Dude, I appreciate the hell out of you. Yeah, thank you for having me.
Never once have you heard an insurance company brought up in all of the opioid crisis. 30% of the profits generated during the opioid crisis went to the insurance companies.
It shouldn't be. That's the point. They're getting money on every drug that you're prescribed. Imagine the amount of revenue being generated by these insurance companies by screwing me and you and families on these medications.
I mean, it definitely seems to be a common problem. Like, if we look at what the U.S. spends in healthcare, you know, we're number one in healthcare costs, but I think 60th overall in our overall health. You know, I mean, it's pretty bad. And the most recent statistics are, you know, 70 percent, 67 percent of adults are overweight. I mean, which is staggering. Yeah.
13 to 19 age demographic, though our children are over 30 percent are on the cusp of prediabetes. Like it's I mean, we're just chronically ill as a society. The system's definitely letting individuals, families, all of us down.
Yeah, the average American's on four or more medications, four or more prescription medications.
It's way higher than the rest of the world. And we also fit the bill for most of the innovation of healthcare, which is a problem in itself because so many people go, well, meds are expensive in America because we fund the innovation. Most of the innovation is funded through taxpayer dollars via the NIH. A lot of people don't understand that. So we're fitting the bill
to identify compounds that are promising for driving health span and preventing chronic disease and all these things is where the money should be applied. But instead, our money is getting applied towards treating symptomology. And so the NIH is looking at studies that are driven by who? Big Pharma. And Big Pharma asked the NIH, look at these compounds.
And when a compound gets close enough to a point where they think they can patent it and monetize it, the NIH just hands the molecule over for pennies on the dollar to Big Pharma, where they then put it through a double blind placebo controlled trial, if we're lucky, and push it into the marketplace and patent it.
