What is the detection gap in melanoma screening and why do most dermatologists miss it?

Dr. Michael Christopher 0:00
I just found a melanoma on a 21-year-old patient on her cheek that looked like a normal mole. Completely normal. Completely benign. So, what is the impact on longevity of melanoma? It is definitely the most significant cause of death.

Most of the sunscreen that you see at the pharmacy has a Prop 65 warning on it that says it likely causes cancer.

Every breakthrough in human performance comes down to one thing, just changing your state. And right now, the science and the technology and the ancient practices are converging faster than you realize. For 50 years, bad policy and stigma blocked scientific researchers from studying some of the most powerful tools for the human brain. And that just changed. This October, the researchers, the clinicians, the guys, pioneers in consciousness, tech and psychedelics are all going to be under one roof in Austin. And you can be there, too, with me. For the first time ever, I'm hosting and operating Beyond Wonderland. Two full days where you'll learn the science and the practice of changing your state. And you'll get to talk to the researchers doing it.
Dave Asprey 1:17
You'll learn how these tools unlock a version of yourself you didn't know existed. You'll find talks about altered states with or without the psychedelics, a tech hall where you can try the tools yourself, breakout sessions, breathwork, ceremony, integration circles, and more. This field is moving really fast, and the people who are here in Austin on October 13th and 14th with me are going to be years ahead of everyone who finds out about this later. Learn more.

I'm not talking about wrinkles, although I guess we all don't want wrinkles. I'm talking about things like melanoma. And this matters because it's a really misunderstood kind of cancer.
