But what a lot of people don't realize, Mel, is that the health landscape in the United States, in the UK, and frankly, most countries around the world has dramatically changed over the past 20 or 30 years. We used to see what I call acute problems. So 30, 40 years ago, the medical system was really well set up for the problems that people came in with.

So you'd come in and say, hey, doctor, I've got a cough. I've got a fever. I'm bringing up a lot of sputum. And the doctor would see you for 10 or 15 minutes, examine you, give you a diagnosis, give you a pill and say, take this three times a day for seven days. And hey, presto, seven days later, your problem's gone away.

Yeah, and it worked beautifully well for those kinds of problems. But today, Mel, 80 to 90% of what we as medical doctors see is in some way related to our collective modern lifestyles. Okay, now let me be really clear. I am not putting blame on anyone. The person who's listening right now, I am not putting blame on you, okay?

I understand that life is tough, that people feel stressed, they don't have the energy. I do understand all those things. At the same time, we have to understand that these modern lives and the way in which we're leading them is resulting in us being sick. Okay.

And so I was very much trained the model where you try and diagnose a patient when they come in and give them a treatment, which is usually a pharmaceutical treatment. Now that can have value. But what a lot of people still don't realize is that if you make changes in four key areas of your life, you can have a profound impact on so many different aspects of your health.

And those four things are what I call the four pillars. Yep. Food. movement, sleep, and relaxation.

Mel, I've been a medical doctor for over 23 years. I've seen tens of thousands of patients and I just cannot emphasize this enough. Ask yourself, which of these four pillars do I need the most work in? Food, movement, sleep, or relaxation?

Yeah. Now, Mel, there's a key point here. Okay. So when we talk about our lifestyle, we often talk about it through the lens of prevention. Okay, yeah, yeah, you know, it's important to pay attention to our lifestyle. We want to prevent getting sick in the future. Now, I agree with that.
