So diabetes, for example, we expect Alzheimer's to continue to climb.

You know, in America, even prediabetes affects a third of Americans.

And the worrisome part about that number is that 90% of them don't even know it.

Wow.

So I stand up on the platform here on your show to say, hey, let's get some lab work going.

Go to your doctor or go to Function Health or a place where you don't even have to have a doctor order it for you and find out what is not just your fasting blood sugar, but your fasting insulin level.

Because it's the fasting insulin level that tells you whether you're not on the road to becoming even pre-diabetic.

That's what you want to look at.

Yeah, it is crazy.

But we live in a world in Western medicine where the messaging is, hey, live your life however you choose.

And then when suddenly you can't remember things and your kid's grandchildren's name or your children's name or whatever it may be, then we'll have something that'll fix that for you.

We have a drug that'll fix it.

That's not reality.

We don't have that drug at all.

We do not.

If we had that drug, would I be having a different conversation with you?

I would 100%.

There are some really cool ideas right now.

Maybe we'll have time to talk about them.

But we don't.
