There is no other advocate out there but you. So be an advocate for you and your family. Question everything. Trust no one. I hate to say that, but trust is earned, not given. And clinicians in America have let down people. And so we can't blindly trust them anymore. They have to earn the trust of you and your family before you just give it to them.

Yeah. And what's wild is when we started Ways to Well, we were the majority female clients. We were like 60% women, 40% men. But after going on Rogan and Tucker and some of these more, I guess, male focused podcasts, it's pivoted where we're like 70% men now.

I would say all the time, though, it's totally unfair to women because you can throw a rock and hit a testosterone clinic for men. I mean, it's crazy how many men centric health practices have sprung up that are cash pay. And women, for the most part, are still depending on their OB as their primary line of defense. And OBs are phenomenal.

But the problem is if they're in the insurance system, they're still kind of hand-tied. It's not that โ and you could even probably โ if you have an OB or a primary that you love โ I would ask them, hey, what tests do you think I should run? Like I'm interested in my health span and my longevity. I'm willing to pay cash.

You know, I don't wanna rely on the insurance because they'll tell me what I can and can't do. Like, and I'll give you me as an example. Even when I was 37, I was training CrossFit every day. I was waking up at 4 a.m. as a surgical rep. I would go to CrossFit at 5 a.m. I would be in the operating room all day and I was 25% body fat on the cusp of obesity.

Yes. What? And I was chronically ill, sick all the time, immune system run down. I was seeing a nutritionist. I was working out with a personal trainer. I was in what I call the pit of despair. Like I literally was just like, I guess this is who I am. I guess it's just genetics. I guess I'm f***ed.

candidly I literally was depressed and just like I don't I guess this is it and finally I had a nutritionist go hey do you get your blood work done by a primary care this is before I knew all this this is how I learned everything I'm doing I found out my primary care was just running a basic lipid panel Never had looked at any real deep dive. You know, again, this was a decade ago almost.
