I think you have to give doctors a little bit of leeway here in the conventional system because they're just in a system that's very much laid out in a certain way. It's very difficult to do anything inside of that system other than what they already do. And the mitochondria, shocking are complicated.

It's very difficult to do anything inside of that system other than what they already do. And the mitochondria, shocking are complicated.

And it's not something that is that easy for practitioners to really understand without a lot of focus and a lot of work to kind of make sure that you understand what's going on at that level. I mean, in medical school, we learn about the mitochondria. We learn about all the intermediates that are required and how we break down our food and the electron transport chain.

But then as soon as you learn it, you have to shove it out of your brain so you can learn something else. I have a good story of, I think it was after my anatomy surgery, final. I went to go get money from the ATM when we still did that. And I couldn't remember my pin code. It was like the same code it had been for like five or 10 years at that point, but it was just gone.

Like the amount of information that I had to shove into my brain for a short period of time, which I was very good at. But what I didn't learn in medical school was that you could operationalize the capacity to learn mitochondria, electron transport chain,

the macronutrients, the micronutrients, and be able to actually use that in clinical practice and use it in real time using something called the science of metabolomics, which is the science of metabolism, the science of understanding what's happening in the real time in your cells right now.

The interaction between your genes and your environment, so your internal environment, your DNA, and your external environment is most easily understood at the metabolomic level. This is something that's been around for over 20 years in... in the science world, in the world of practice, but it really hasn't hit clinical practice yet, even though it's been around for 20 years.

And everybody thinks about the genes and how these are important. Of course, genomics is important, but that only tells you what might happen, right? Then you have things like proteomics and transcriptomics, or you have transcriptomics and then proteomics. Those are other levels outside of your DNA that we can look at various types of proteins or the transcriptome, the RNA and things like that.

But really where the most operational work at the operational capacity and ecosystem is right now is metabolomics. And so medical school didn't teach me that we could do any of these kinds of things with that kind of data, right? We learned about mitochondria, learned about electron transfer chain, et cetera, but we didn't learn that you could actually measure it and then actually

optimize somebody and then watch things change over time. So that was really important for me. And I think that a lot of doctors are just so much in the weeds of having to do what they have to do because of insurance reasons or reimbursement reasons or salary reasons or incentivized reasons.

There's lots of incentives in the system to put people on statins, to put people on blood pressure medications, not to wait six months and see if they can do things on their own because And they get less bonus at the end of the year and things like that. So the incentives are all fucked up is what it comes down to.
