Yeah. So the average American, because of our food and our diet and our lifestyle, 90% of chronic disease is driven by lifestyle. If we peel back and look at what's causing these chronic diseases and get to the root cause, it's not just diet, lifestyle, and nutrition. It's that the system is failing Americans. Again, there is no safety net anymore.

Your clinician doesn't have the time to do a deep dive. So the cancer that develops in your 40s started in your 30s. The diabetes that develops in your 40s started in your 30s. The chronic disease that hits you in your 50s started in your 40s. If we got proactive and predictive, we could prevent chronic disease. And chronic disease is killing 1.8 to 1.9 million Americans a year.

More than every war we've ever fought since the history of this country. That's how staggering this is. Like you and I were talking before we got on this, the equivalent to a 747 jet worth of people are dying every day of opioid abuse. Deaths of despair at an all-time high. greater than that of the Great Depression, suicide, all-time high. All of these things are through the roof.

We are chronically ill as a society. And if we look at the pillars of what's causing that, one branch is the big pharmaceutical industry. Another branch is the food industry. But the other dirty branch is the insurance companies. They are implicitly involved in this. And I'll show you how and why. So the reason I know all this is because I was a drug rep.

And then I was a medical device rep and I stood in surgeries with some of the best and brightest minds in the country. And from there, I owned labs and pharmacies that attempted to bill and work within the insurance framework. So if you or your grandmother were to come in and try and fill a medication,

The average American's on four or more prescription drugs, which is just mind-boggling in itself. Four or more prescription drugs is what the average American's on. Average American?

So, like, I'm 55. Would that apply to my age group? Yeah. This is all age groups. The age demographic, I think 18 to 70-something years old, we're on four or more drugs on average, which is mind-boggling. If that doesn't tell you that there's something wrong with us and our system and our food— Like, we've got to wake up and realize somebody has to say the emperor wears no clothes.

Like, it's terrifying. So I love using the example of metformin because it's a very simplistic number that I can show you. If you come into a pharmacy and you tell me you have UnitedHealthcare, I have a gag clause as a pharmacy owner. It is illegal for me to tell you that I could sell you your Metformin for cheaper than what the insurance is charging you. But you paid for that insurance coverage.
