Yeah, it's a great new opportunity for a lot of people.

I became disenchanted when I first got into medical school because I used to love my pediatrician. He was great because when I would go, he would always ask me about the sports I was playing and he would give me guidance on how I could be better. At doing these things, you know, I didn't care about it. I didn't mind about the shots or anything because he was such a cool guy.

And so I had this impression that this was what medicine was, making a person better at something. I didn't have any medical people in my family. So from third grade on, that was all I wanted to be was a doctor. Yeah. And I got into medical school and it was all about disease and pharmacology to me. And I was like, well, you know, what about like nutrition and exercise?

And there just wasn't much of it. And then I had to decide what I was going to do. And I didn't want to do family medicine or internal medicine because I saw it as, oh, it's a stepwise postponement of death. I mean, you just accumulate diagnosis and medications over time until you die. And that didn't resonate with me.

I ended up choosing to go the route of surgery just because I could take someone who had a quality of life that suddenly dropped for some reason. I could intervene and at least bring them back up to baseline. And that was something that I enjoyed doing. I loved working with my hands, and there was some reward with it of bringing people back to baseline.

And then I discovered age management medicine. This was about six years into my career. Private practice of surgery. And it was about optimizing the human system. I was like, wow, this is a new concept for me. They were using hormones and nutrition and exercise. I thought that's really cool. So I started doing that as a hobby on the side just because I enjoyed it.

And over the next five years, I was fully convinced that it was the way to go. And we had added stress and genetics. And I started seeing the complexity of the human system. And I was like, this is the problem. We've been looking at it like a... in a reductionistic way in the human system is complex. Epigenetics opened that up to me and we started teaching people epigenetics.
