It's really good.

And I believe our healthcare system is really good at critical care, at surgeries, at catastrophic events.

Where it is set up to fail you is preventative care.

Where it's set up to fail you is preventing the chronic disease.

They will not allow your doctor to typically get proactive, predictive, and preventative because almost every one of those modality, you can't go, so let's break down even what I said.

If you were to come to Ways to Well, how would I, if you came in and you said, I'm depressed, I have anxiety, I'm gaining weight, and I have no energy and no libido.

In a primary care practice, they're going to write you an antidepressant.

They're going to write you a Viagra.

Right?

And they may even put you on Ozempic if you're overweight.

And that's their solution.

Why?

Because I have six minutes with you.

And I know the insurance is going to tell me, go fuck yourself as the doctor if I try to do a DEXA.

A DEXA is not indicated in America for preventative care.

It's used to assess bone mineral density.

The only way the insurance is going to cover that is if you're an elderly woman and you've already had signs of osteoporosis.

But what can that tool be used for in a cash pay model?

With a DEXA scan, I know your visceral fat, your subcutaneous fat.

I know your bone mineral density.
