You're right. No, you're spot on.
You need someone to help you. That's where I'm like, if I was pushing an agenda, I have a ton to gain by GLP-1s going gangbusters. I'm not on that bandwagon. I literally sat there with the Senate meeting and said, this is crazy if we government fund prescribing GLP-1s to children. Wow. That's insanity. We need to fix our food products in schools.
We need to limit soft drinks and advertising to children. There's a million things we could do that are way more logical and reasonable than starting to stick a kid with an injectable that they're going to take the rest of their life.
Yeah. Another example of that is that, you know, we were a foster family growing up. So we had up to seven foster kids at a time in my house. And I remember that the hep V vaccines that all those little kids had to get were And I didn't think about it at the time.
But again, hearing some of my friends like Callie and Casey talk about it, the vaccine schedule is crazy because you're giving a child a brand new baby, essentially a hep B vaccine. The only two ways to contract hepatitis B is a vaccine. Basically, you're injecting drugs or sexual activity. An infant's not going to have that.
So why expose them to the risk factor of a potential adverse event when we know autism rates are through the roof? All of these different health issues for children are climbing. And at some point we have to assess what we're doing and say, isn't there a better way? But I know enough about how that system works and how things are negotiated on the back end and the lobby.
And now it's established and now it's hammered home. And then you assemble and you go have a meet with all the pediatricians nationwide. And you have people as spokesperson that push that agenda and get senators and congressmen and women on the hook to go, yes, we need these vaccines incorporated as part of our policy to protect these children. And I don't think...
it's not that it was there i don't think everyone's in on it i think people are being duped and it's so siloed that's one of the other things you and i have talked about historically with medicine medicine's so siloed they don't look at the full human body they look at i'm a knee guy and i'm going to look at the knee or i'm a mental health specialist and i'm going to talk to this patient about their mental health but your mental health is intertwined with your physical health your mental health and this is what dr palmer from harvard talks about
If we have metabolic disease and all these metabolic crises, it's going to lead to mental health issues.
Well, and what scares me... At the most. And again, not to shit on the GLP-1s, because we prescribe GLP-1s, we utilize GLP-1s. They are a tool in the tool belt, and when utilized appropriately, they can help people. But a hammer can kill someone if used inappropriately. Right. And so if we make it our frontline defense...
And again, we go back to the chronic disease crisis in America and we say, OK, the food systems broke. Then the people end up chronically ill. Then we don't really assess people until in our in our our assessment tools in a primary care market are based off a sick patient population. If we base the demographic off the average American population.
that is dying of chronic diseases, and that is our measuring stick, then why are we shocked when we continue to have a boom in people dying of chronic diseases and being diagnosed with chronic diseases? Cancer, all-time high. I think there's going to be 2 million new cases of cancer diagnosed this year. Every single chronic disease is through the roof. The system is not working.
I was, what was I, 29, 30 years old, early 30s. And I was 25% body fat, pre-diabetic, headed towards all the same chronic diseases that we're talking about. What was your diet like? My diet, I had, well, originally my diet was terrible. It was a traditional American diet, right? So I was a surgical rep and I had to be in the OR by 7 a.m. And so I would go do CrossFit every morning.
Then I'd go to the OR. I'd be in cases all day. I would eat whatever I could. I would drink a Starbucks Frappuccino, not realizing there's 1,800 calories of sugar and chemicals and no nutrients. I just didn't know. And I grew up in a family, again, a foster family where... We were middle-class America, but maybe it was the 80s. Eating healthy was like eating wheat bread instead of white bread.
It was eating low-fat Lay's potato chips and a Diet Coke. That's literally what my family thought was healthy. And that's a lot of Americans. They don't know. And you just you just stay with what you're indoctrinated into. So I started seeing a nutritionist in my 30s and I did lean down and I lost weight and I was getting healthier and I was headed the right direction and I was still training.
But he was like, if you're doing everything I'm saying, let me take a step back. I would go to a primary care and it would take three months to get in with a primary care. Then they would just pull a basic lipid panel. And then I would say, well, can we look at my hormones? No, no, we don't need to look at hormones. We're going to look at your lipid panel. We're going to do a wellness check.
Well, that doesn't include hormones in this country. It's not a deep dive because they're scared to do that because the insurance companies control what they'll reimburse and not reimburse. And so clinicians in this country are terrified to do the deep dive and they only have six minutes with you. So they got to get you in and out of there. Right.
Long story short, six months later, still fat, still trying to lose weight, working out every day, seeing a nutritionist. Nutritionist said, I want to refer you to a urology buddy, Dr. Larry Lipschultz, who's one of the godfathers of urology and hormone optimization in the United States. And when I went and met with Larry, he was shocked after he pulled my blood work.
We actually did it twice because he just didn't believe my readings. And my testosterone level after seeing him was 98%.
It's it's insane. And he's like a woman. But I know it was terrible. And so he's like, of course, you're he's like, I don't know if you're if you're fat because I told this story before. I don't know if you're fat because you have low testosterone or if you have low testosterone because you're fat, but you are fat with low testosterone. And so that was my baseline.
