So they just assume that the same is going to happen for them, right? Yes. But we live in a very different world than our parents, grandparents, and ancestors did. Like the tables have turned a little bit. So yeah, I would say when you're working with a doctor, if you really want to optimize your health, first question what you want, right?

So you and I were talking about when somebody hires me, they typically, Mona, help me get to this number on the scale. Help me get the six pack. Help me fit into this dress. Or for some people, help me get, you know, do pull-ups or handstands, right? And yoga, right? And that's fine. And I promise we can get there. But like your past and my past, we can get to the goal. And then what happens?

We fall off this wagon and then we're looking for the next protocol or pill or person or whatever to follow. And then we're trying something else and trying something else. And I know your listeners will resonate with that. Enough of the wagon, enough with that. How about just focusing on how you're feeling every day? When you wake up in the morning, do you feel happy? Are you energized?

Does your body feel good? Are your bowel movements functioning? Are you having one to two bowel movements a day, which you should be? Are you hydrating? Are your joints loose? Do you have muscle pain? Just feel into your body and whether or not you feel good. And think about what your goals are. My goals in my 20s and 30s obviously are very different than now. Now...

The entire inspiration for me and everything that I do for my health is how I'm going to age. I want to be 90 or 100 years old with a backpack with my grandkid in the back, going up a canyon hiking.

And I think that if people can get in touch with the future version of themselves and how they want to feel, that alone is the motivation to stay on track, to eat like you love yourself, to speak like you love yourself, think like you love yourself.

instead of sabotaging ourselves the way that we do, like I did with hardcore exercise, hardcore diet, hardcore pills, hardcore strategies, whatever, you name it. And in finding a doctor, when I work with my clients, run your labs once if not twice a year. More than that if you're dealing with key inflammatory markers. So you mentioned some really significant ones.

We're looking at our Lp , for example. A lot of that has to do with the genetic precursor, like you and I probably have. You have an Italian background, I have an East Indian background. It's something that's prevalent. Then you want to look at your triglycerides also. What's that number like? You want to look at your particle sizes. You want to look at your HbA1c as well.

You want to look at your C-reactive protein, like key inflammatory markers that tells us whether or not your body is under a state of stress. From that state of stress, if you're ignoring those numbers, then of course you're now leading into this rut of what we call accumulation. You're accumulating inflammation.

When you accumulate inflammation, you're probably not making the best choices for yourself, right? You're probably not understanding why the number on the scale goes up. why you're having certain food cravings, why your hormones are off, why your testosterone is dropping, right? It's like you've got to find the source of the inflammation in order to figure that out.
