Latest / Healthy Happy Wise Wealthy / Cellular Optimization and Genetic Mapping: A New Approach to Healthcare
Transcript
- 0:00All right, welcome back to Healthy, Happy, Wise, Wealthy. On this episode,
- 0:03Mary has a cough. And also I am. And you're going to maybe hear
- 0:07it through this. But, but I'm here today with Matthew Noble
- 0:11with the Practical Practitioner. And thanks for coming on, Matthew. I appreciate it.
- 0:16Tell us a little bit. Basically this is a company that you
- 0:19founded that is about supplements and supplementation
- 0:23for the diet, but it's, it's just taking it to a whole new
- 0:27scientific level. And I did look at his, his, his website is the Practical
- 0:31Practitioner. So I look through it and it is definitely
- 0:35built for clinicians and people that are a little bit above my pay grade. But
- 0:39we're going to talk about it and talk about what it means for the everyday
- 0:43person and the value it brings. So tell us about it, Matthew.
- 0:47Absolutely. Thank you so much. I'm really glad to be here and honored for the
- 0:50time. Hopefully I can bring value to your audience.
- 0:55So the Practical Practitioner was born out of a couple
- 0:58of different fires. My love and
- 1:03passion for proactive healthcare came from
- 1:06not only my personal journey with cancer diagnosis.
- 1:10In 2016, I was actually diagnosed with stage 4
- 1:14metastatic melanoma. And that is not the worst cancer by
- 1:17any stretch, but it was bad. I was very
- 1:21clearly told if I don't go through chemotherapy that I would more,
- 1:25more than likely die. Of course, I said, well, that's absolutely not going to
- 1:29happen. Through that journey, all of the,
- 1:32you know, traumas that I had from my
- 1:36mom suffering from lung cancer and watching her go through
- 1:40chemo and surgeries and, you know, it didn't help her life got
- 1:44worse. There was no way I was going to
- 1:47revisit that trauma through my own journey. And so.
- 1:52Being a master personal trainer and certified certifying personal
- 1:56trainers with my partner Mark McCoy with the UTA,
- 2:00I said, well, I know a lot about this stuff. So I really started
- 2:03digging in and I got really hardcore into science
- 2:07of nutrition supplementation, proactive healthcare
- 2:10protocols, anything I could do to avoid having to go through
- 2:14chemo and chemical drugs and the typical health
- 2:18care, AKA sick care system, I didn't want to manage it and I
- 2:22didn't want my life to get worse. I wanted to get rid of it. And
- 2:25so through my research and protocols that I just
- 2:28took upon myself to jump into. Thank you. Good
- 2:32Lord. I have been completely cancer free for
- 2:36about 10 years now and I've had zero treatment. I did
- 2:39zero big Pharma treatment. And I'm not here to.
- 2:44You know, to, to, you know, drop stuff on, on
- 2:47Big Pharma. Although I probably will, but there'll be context to that.
- 2:53So that was the main focus for me to get in to
- 2:57that space. And in doing so, I found a really
- 3:01big Grand Canyon problem through
- 3:04practitioners. Through
- 3:07chiropractic, functional medicine, you know,
- 3:12osteopaths, naturopaths, even MDs that are more proactive
- 3:15minded, you know, that aren't just trying to shove drugs in people's mouths.
- 3:20And so I was able to really kind of marry those two
- 3:23passions together. And that's where the practical
- 3:26practitioner came from. And
- 3:30what that is is it's mindset, it's
- 3:33protocols, it is scientific,
- 3:37it is technology, it is psychology.
- 3:41And it can get very, very in depth and very,
- 3:45very complex. And I simply, I make that very
- 3:48simple. So that's kind of
- 3:52where that came from. And I am on fire about it.
- 3:56And I am so lit up. And I say, you know, my
- 3:59mission statement with the utmost pride, and I don't say
- 4:03it with any arrogance, but all the humility in the world because I want to
- 4:07change the industry of healthcare and actually make it healthcare
- 4:12and change the way that, that people are, you know, treated,
- 4:16diagnosed, and the power we want to give
- 4:19them the control back over their own health. Like I took control over
- 4:23my own health. I did things that I knew I needed to do.
- 4:27And so I guess it's a metaphoric middle
- 4:31finger to the status quo of sick care in this country. And I want
- 4:34to do nothing more than to change that. Yeah, I love that.
- 4:38I, I didn't realize. So you're. I had a father who died of,
- 4:42of cancer and some relatives also. So that's
- 4:46a hard, that's a hard road to, to be down. So. And I don't think
- 4:49I knew that you had a cancer diagnosis too. So. Yeah, that's,
- 4:53that's probably for some people. That's going to be
- 4:57really dramatic to hear you. You basically healed stage 4
- 5:00cancer without any of the normal
- 5:05medical protocols that are out there. So
- 5:09I love that. That's very interesting to me that you
- 5:12have a psychology component to this also. I'd love to hear a little bit more
- 5:16about that. Absolutely. So I have.
- 5:21A little thing that I call identity crisis. And
- 5:25when you wear a hat for so long and it's ingrained in who you are,
- 5:29it's hard to break free from that. Right. So what I've
- 5:32discovered through working with all the clinics that I work through and with
- 5:36across the country is that there is this
- 5:40amazing servant heart and that comes
- 5:43with this ingrained level of altruism that
- 5:48you just can't learn it, you just have it. You either just want to help
- 5:51or you don't. And because of that
- 5:55I learned that a lot of the identity is lost when, you know, the
- 5:58quote unquote white coat is taken off. Who are you?
- 6:03And so many struggles come through those clinics of, you know,
- 6:07they're great doctors, they're great providers, they're great healers,
- 6:11but they're never taught how to build a business. And when their business
- 6:15is suffering, their care suffers because they can't impact
- 6:18the patients the way that they truly could because their business is
- 6:22just making ends meet. And so they're distracted by all the
- 6:26stressors. It's what I call high functioning burnout.
- 6:30They are. And I won't get too in depth
- 6:33on the history of these things, but in the schools they are
- 6:37taught to chase certain protocols because that's what's best for
- 6:41the billion dollar companies that are teaching it right. So
- 6:45they're taught certain things and it's just the way that it is. And
- 6:48I am here to break that mold because it isn't just the way it is
- 6:51anymore because we're breaking free from that and we're giving the patients
- 6:55back their health and we're giving the practitioners back their practice.
- 6:59Yeah, I really, I, I resonate with that in the fact, I mean I'm
- 7:03not a practitioner, but I do help with the work
- 7:07that I do with helping people basically with advertising,
- 7:10small clinics that are private pay. I have a lot of those.
- 7:15And some who have been on here. And I know it's tough
- 7:19and I've also heard from doctors, friends
- 7:22and some family members that it is tough to
- 7:26make money with what insurance pays. So I
- 7:30think, you know, the people that are making money in medicine,
- 7:34you know, a lot of them are insurance and then
- 7:37the pharmaceutical industry. And it seems
- 7:41as if more and more hospitals, clinics and doctors are
- 7:44struggling. So is that something that you've kind of seen also
- 7:48with your work? Yeah, I have, I have seen that firsthand.
- 7:52I have gone into the history of it with the AMA
- 7:56in the early 1900s and, and all of those things, all the
- 7:59lawsuits, all that stuff which I have in, I actually have a, in a blog
- 8:03on my website. You know, this
- 8:07is, this is not necessarily just about money, but
- 8:10you know, like my partner Mark always says, if you can't afford your mission, you
- 8:13have no mission. If you can't keep your doors open, if you can't function
- 8:17without worrying about every door dollar, how are you going to
- 8:21impact patients? So our
- 8:24mission is really simple. My
- 8:28first goal is 3.5 million
- 8:32patient lives impacted through clinics across
- 8:35America. And doing that is going to
- 8:38generate over $2 billion back into the
- 8:42proactive practitioners clinics. Taking that money away
- 8:46from big Pharma. Now, now here's how we do that. We
- 8:49don't complain on social media. We don't lobby with politics. We don't
- 8:53cry about insurance. We go and get into action and
- 8:57do something about it. Because the only way you change that problem
- 9:00is by taking the money away from them. And that is what we're trying to
- 9:04do with this program, is we're simply empowering the patient
- 9:08to take back control. And when you do that, that money's
- 9:12going to go where it should go instead of back into the problem.
- 9:15Yeah, well. And I think a lot of people. Well, and I have been
- 9:19one and I've said this on the podcast, but, you know, my health journey in
- 9:22my early, like, I was 23 when my health broke and didn't realize for a
- 9:26long time afterwards it was Lyme disease. But there was really no
- 9:29protocol in, in regular medicine for it. So the only thing
- 9:33I could do is go look for other things if I wanted to be okay.
- 9:37So I think there's. I am definitely not the only one who's had that feeling
- 9:40of if I want to be okay. I got to go look for
- 9:45supplementation. You know, all these things I've, I've had on the
- 9:48podcast with a red light or the cranial sacral therapy, which Jamie does,
- 9:52or going into the emotional side of it and something. So
- 9:56supplementation is something we really haven't talked a lot about.
- 9:59So tell us with. I know there's such. You are. So
- 10:03this is, this is not a typical supplementation. It's kind of a
- 10:07dumbed down word to use because it's what we understand from what I'm
- 10:11understanding. Yeah. So tell me a little bit about the process
- 10:15of that and what it is that you do. Yeah. So the,
- 10:18the nerd term we can apply to it would be cellular
- 10:22optimization. And that is. That's a broad stroke because that
- 10:26can mean a lot of things. So when you're working in a cellular biology and
- 10:29cellular function, you get into the cell and
- 10:33then you work out. Traditional medicine, AKA sick care,
- 10:37works from the problem or the symptom down. Right. So
- 10:40when you're going into the body and you're using genetic
- 10:44testing, which is what we do, we use genetic testing to learn about how your
- 10:48body's processing, using and distributing different types of
- 10:52things. Okay. And before I go too deep into that Understand
- 10:56that food is medicine until we poisoned
- 11:00our medicine, right? So let thy food be thy medicine.
- 11:03That's exactly what we're going back to. There's a lot of little
- 11:07caveats built into that. But what we're doing is
- 11:11taking back what used to be and making it the future again.
- 11:14Because that is how we are healing our bodies through all of these
- 11:18mechanisms because we're allowing them to do what they were meant to do.
- 11:22So we use genetic mapping in a variety of different ways
- 11:26and that way we get the data so we can implement what we need
- 11:30to do for that individual person. So I can take a genetic
- 11:34map of you and dictate what needs to be done based on
- 11:38what those SMPs are going to tell me, what those different alleles
- 11:41are going to tell me. And I know how your body is working, processing and
- 11:45distributing those types of things through your body. That way we can
- 11:48precisely dictate through our platform how things need to be
- 11:52designed individually for you. That's going to tell you what time
- 11:56of day you need, how much you need and all of those types of things.
- 12:01Through those things you're going to be able to notice a
- 12:04variably difference because your body is now getting the things
- 12:08that it needs to function properly and stop all of the things that it doesn't
- 12:12need. So when we are able to really dig into
- 12:15that stuff, we have a private library
- 12:19of thousands upon thousands of third party peer
- 12:23reviewed studies that we reference. We also do use AI,
- 12:27we don't actually build anything. The science does.
- 12:30We simply put the two things together. We get the labs,
- 12:34we get the testing done and then we apply that into the program
- 12:38and it does its cross referencing with every nutrient and drug
- 12:42interaction in the world. It's called pharmacology or pharmacological cross
- 12:45referencing or pharmacokinetics if you want to be a nerd. And then
- 12:49you like, you can't take this, right? Have you ever taken, you know
- 12:53like a lot of people in America are taking statins for cardiovascular health and
- 12:57it tells them you can't even eat grapefruit. I can't
- 13:00eat fruit. Because you're a drug. That doesn't make sense. Why?
- 13:04Because grapefruit is going to cause that drug to
- 13:08interact at four times the pace. So
- 13:12what we want to understand is that we are
- 13:16being told that we need to take more chemicals and drugs instead of actually
- 13:19using the things that are going to help us. Right. And so there are
- 13:23contraindications between a lot of nutrients and different drugs. And so we have to
- 13:27walk that line legally. So we are going to make sure that we're going to
- 13:30keep every patient and every doctor safe and cross reference those
- 13:34things to every extent that is known and make sure that you're
- 13:38only getting things that you need and nothing that you don't, nothing that could harm
- 13:41you. So we're being very, very prudent in that endeavor
- 13:45and making sure that we are precisely attacking everything that
- 13:48we need to in the cell from a proactive approach rather than a
- 13:52reactive treatment. Right. And I know, you know, in our space, I
- 13:56can't legally say anything, diagnosis, treats, cures, cancer, anything
- 14:00like that. And I'm not saying anything. But what I am saying is that we
- 14:03can identify things and we can address them from a different side of the
- 14:07coin. And there's always, there's always
- 14:11three sides to a coin, right? You've got the front, the back, and then the
- 14:14ridge. The ridge is right. That ridge is a side.
- 14:18That's where I live in the science, the tech and the finance.
- 14:22Because there's three sides. And that middle is such a small
- 14:25little portion of the community. And
- 14:29that's where we're going to make that change. Because that rig
- 14:33tips the balance of the coin. That's a good analogy.
- 14:36I like that analogy. So just so everyone kind
- 14:40of understands you, they can't go directly to
- 14:44your company and have this testing done. They need to find a practitioner
- 14:48to do it. Correct. That's the way that we have the model designed because
- 14:52we want to make sure that there's oversight and people aren't blindly just doing
- 14:55things. And, you know, with HIPAA compliance and things like
- 14:59that, we want to make sure that we're keeping everybody safe and people aren't
- 15:02blindly doing things. There are a lot of things out there that you can buy
- 15:06on Amazon and, you know.
- 15:10Certain quote, unquote influencers that'll sell you stuff
- 15:14that you probably shouldn't be touching.
- 15:18But you, you're going to want to find a practitioner that we're working with. And
- 15:22I do have a list of those on the website as well. Or you can
- 15:25always just message me through the website and let me know where you're at and
- 15:28I'll find somebody. Yeah, you know, we are. If you have a
- 15:32favorite practitioner, you can also tell them they need to get a hold of you.
- 15:36Yes, that's for sure. Another way. Yes, that's for sure. You
- 15:39know, so we are really, you know, just trying to
- 15:44carve that path and, and we're pioneering all of this stuff
- 15:47throughout the country. I mean, and it's still fairly new. I mean, we're really only
- 15:51about a year into this endeavor. Oh, wow. Very
- 15:54new. This has been a passion project, but it's been a lot of
- 15:58time, you know, coming up with things, testing, making sure
- 16:02things are where they need to be. And you know,
- 16:06we, the last thing we want to do is go into something prematurely and
- 16:09not be able to be who we say we are and also not be able
- 16:13to deliver what we want to deliver. And so, you know, efficacy
- 16:17is everything, reputation is everything. And we're not going to come to the
- 16:20market with something and offer something that we can't put
- 16:24110% efficacy behind. Yeah, I love that.
- 16:28Matthew, what was your background before this? So I was
- 16:32actually a master retired personal trainer. And
- 16:35so with that, you know, I obviously knew
- 16:39the anatomy, movements, nutritional type things and performance. And so I
- 16:43really kind of fell once the, you know, you know, my mom passed away from
- 16:46cancer and I got, you know, my diagnosis and just, I started kind
- 16:50of seeing all these things and the dominoes were falling and I'm like, I,
- 16:53I have to do something here. If I can just change
- 16:57something, I have to do something. Because I felt like the system
- 17:01just completely failed my mom. And you know,
- 17:04I've watched it fail so many other people, other loved ones,
- 17:08you know, friends, family. And I just couldn't take
- 17:12it anymore. And I just realized like, I have to do something. I don't know
- 17:16if I'm going to be effective. I don't know what I can do, but I'm
- 17:19going to do something. And so I
- 17:23thought, well, I don't want to be like everybody else. I'm not going to be
- 17:26a sheep in the herd. I'm not going to sit in the corner and be
- 17:29quiet. I feel like there's so
- 17:33much more that can be done. And if I
- 17:37can impact other people's lives, how can I impact the
- 17:41most people? I can personally only influence and
- 17:45impact so many people, right? How can I
- 17:48bring this to millions
- 17:52doctors? Doctors have thousands of patients, right?
- 17:56Okay, how can I now impact millions of
- 18:00people's lives through other clinics? Okay,
- 18:03great. Now how can I make it beneficial for the
- 18:07clinician as well? And so those two thoughts come
- 18:10together and saying, okay, if we can teach a protocol
- 18:14on how to maximize and optimize
- 18:17cellular health that helps the patient, and then we can
- 18:21build a system that's going to build.
- 18:25Financial abundance through this entire mission
- 18:29for those practitioners, then it's a win win. And that's
- 18:32exactly what we're doing right now. Which is, you know, the other part of
- 18:36this podcast, aside from wellness, is entrepreneurship. And so the story
- 18:40you just told, I feel like, is a beautiful entrepreneur story
- 18:44founded in. From what I, you know, because you're not that old, so in
- 18:482016, so you're. You're at the gym all
- 18:51the time, so you're obviously in shape and young and you get
- 18:55cancer. And I feel like that's, That's. That is the
- 18:59problem with. With where we're living right now. It's like you shouldn't.
- 19:02Who should be. No one should be getting cancer to begin with, but certainly not
- 19:06young people, in my opinion. Right. So some
- 19:10things are going really wrong. Yeah. For this to be going on, I'll.
- 19:13Tell you where I really figured out where I got it from. Right. It wasn't
- 19:17anything I was doing other than I didn't
- 19:21realize that I fell into the trap. And I live in
- 19:24Florida. It's hot. I am European descent. I'm
- 19:28very pale. I burn easily. I turn pink. I will tan
- 19:31eventually, but I burn very easily. So what am I doing?
- 19:35I'm slathering on sunblock left and right so I don't get
- 19:39burned. How do I get cancer if I'm blocking the
- 19:42harmful sun? Right. Makes no sense.
- 19:46So clearly it wasn't the sun that did the problem. It was the sun block
- 19:49and all of the stuff that was in it. And I was using organic sunblock.
- 19:52I was supposed to be good. So obviously
- 19:55something's really wrong with that type of thing. And that. That's a whole
- 19:59nother podcast episode, I'm sure. But
- 20:03we can certainly agree on is that, you know, the government and
- 20:07big corporations certainly don't have our health in mind when they're
- 20:10coming up with these things. And 90% of the stuff that's in the market,
- 20:15you know, oh, it's healthy. It's not, you know, they're trends. It's
- 20:19marketing hype. You go to look at Cheerios. Oh, they're heart healthy. According
- 20:22to who? The people. The Heart Foundation. Right. Ama.
- 20:27They're selling you these things because it's beneficial for them.
- 20:30Again, that's a rabbit hole I won't go into on this particular episode, but. It
- 20:34is a rabbit hole for sure. But, yeah, I was at the grocery store today
- 20:38for just wanting a little bit of a. Because I had a cough. I
- 20:42want to, you know, just something to. A lozenge. Yeah. And
- 20:45I'm like, do they all have to have citric acid? Because then I, you know,
- 20:48because I had learned that citric acid was GMO mold. And
- 20:52so who knows? It's citric acid is GMO mold, and I didn't want to suck
- 20:56on that. I'm glad you brought that up, actually. What I would. What I would
- 20:59suggest to you is get some whole garlic cloves and smash it
- 21:03and let it sit there for about 10 minutes. Put it in some honey and
- 21:06then use that. That will work you wonders. I, you know, I love
- 21:10that. I actually did that last year. And, like, so when I first got this,
- 21:14I was like, you know, eating the very last, last of it from
- 21:18last year. And I need to go do that again because
- 21:21I have those two things. I need to put them together. Yeah, it does work
- 21:25really, really well. Yeah, thanks for reminding me.
- 21:28Absolutely. And the key is smash it and let it sit so it
- 21:32activates the enzyme, because if you don't, it's not going to work quite as well.
- 21:37But, you know, to that point. So you're 100% correct on citric
- 21:41acid. And that's. That's a really, really good point. Most of, and I
- 21:44say most because it's not all, but most of the citric acid in the
- 21:48marketplace is derived from mold spores. That is 100% correct.
- 21:52But there are companies that don't want to use stuff
- 21:55like that, and ours is one of them. And we do use a citric acid,
- 21:59but it comes from sea kelp. It does exist in nature. It's just
- 22:03that it's not. And companies are taking every route they can to say, well, let
- 22:07me cut corners, because this is $0.12 and that's
- 22:10$12. So we're going to take the mold spore and hope no one
- 22:14figures it out. Well, here's the thing. America's figured it out. America
- 22:17is waking up and they are sick of that. And
- 22:21so everyone is. Now, they've been taught to just follow along, and now
- 22:25everyone is asking questions and they want to know all these little details. Details.
- 22:28And I love the transparency of things like what we're doing.
- 22:32And there's not a lot, if any, that I know of that are going to
- 22:35be able to be as transparent because it's not cost effective.
- 22:39So, yeah, the mission's expensive. It takes time and it
- 22:43takes a lot of money to be able to do what we're doing. But I'm
- 22:45telling you this, we're not going to compromise on it, and we're going to keep
- 22:48doing what we're doing. Yeah, that's awesome. So if someone is like,
- 22:51well, what do I do? How do I get tested? Like, what happens? They Find
- 22:55a practitioner and then, then what does the testing look like for them? Yeah, so
- 22:58we do genetic swabs, right. So everything we do is a cheek swab. You're
- 23:02going to take your genetic DNA makeup, put it on the cheek swab, let it
- 23:06cure, put it in the tube, send it off to the lab and you'll get
- 23:09your genetic report in a couple of weeks and then we can go over what
- 23:13that data means and how to implement it. You know, we
- 23:16do use AI, it cross references those things. We've made it really, really user friendly
- 23:20for the practitioner so that they don't have to become geneticists and molecular
- 23:24biologists. Because let's be honest, it's not a passion for a lot of people.
- 23:29But if I can get you the results without having to learn how to do
- 23:32all that stuff. And that's kind of what we've designed through all of these things.
- 23:37You know, the website alone with the database and everything like that.
- 23:40If, you know, I mean it would be, if you tried to build it today,
- 23:43it would probably cost about $10 million cheapers. So
- 23:47it is really, really in tune and it Cross References
- 23:513500 White Papers A month. So as science evolves,
- 23:54so does our program. Every time something new comes up, comes out and
- 23:58it's verified, it's added or taken out, if it's
- 24:02something that this is no longer functional, we've got something different.
- 24:06So it's upgraded and updated every month with the
- 24:09latest and greatest. Yeah. So is this the papers
- 24:13you have on there? So it's both, I'm assuming both pharmacology and kind of,
- 24:17I don't know what to call it. Natural science. Is it kind of both? Yeah.
- 24:21So everything that we have on there is going to be based in nutritional
- 24:24responses and any type of pharmacological
- 24:28interactions. So if there's a nutrient drug interaction,
- 24:31if there is a white paper with peer reviewed research
- 24:35on this nutrient does that. It's in there.
- 24:39Nice. I love that white paper. And if it, and this isn't animal
- 24:43study stuff, this isn't preclinical, this is third party peer reviewed
- 24:47research. It is verified science. So good science,
- 24:50not, not the trust, not hype science, not
- 24:54hype science. Yes, TikTok trends. My
- 24:58goodness. Please stop following TikTok people
- 25:02that are telling you to take all of these things.
- 25:07Oh and see, you're saying that right when I've decided I might get on TikTok
- 25:10and sell stuff, but I will not sell
- 25:14supplements that are bad. I'm gonna say that right now. Yeah,
- 25:19I'm just being a little silly. So, okay, so for the, for
- 25:22the, the people, the clinicians, the practitioners that,
- 25:26you know, they have the client who does a cheek swab and then they. What
- 25:29are the, what are the practitioners? Get back.
- 25:33So, I mean, they're getting, they're getting the data, obviously, to be able
- 25:37to individualize their care for that patient. So they know exactly
- 25:40what to do, how to do it, when to do it, where to do it,
- 25:43and all of those things. So, so it makes their job a lot easier because
- 25:46they don't have to spend hours upon hours doing all that research.
- 25:50It's all done for them. It's literally
- 25:54a few clicks of a button. And it's not
- 25:57magic, because nothing in this world is really magic. But it's pretty close.
- 26:01If we could wave a Harry Potter wand, it's pretty close to that
- 26:06in a matter of six seconds. It analyzes 7,000
- 26:09algorithms and it accesses over 13,000 research studies. And
- 26:13it says, here's what this science is saying for this
- 26:16person based on these genetics,
- 26:20lifestyle, family history, all of that stuff. All what we call
- 26:23KPIs, key point indicators. It takes everything that we know
- 26:27about you and it designs it based on that, because that's what
- 26:31science says you needed. That's, that's
- 26:34fascinating. What a great use of AI, too.
- 26:38I've had a, I've had some talks about AI here and I, I've
- 26:42done so much training on AI, use some AI,
- 26:45worried a bit about AI, depending on how it is, it's going down. But
- 26:50every tool is bad, depending on who's using it. Or it's good, depending on who's
- 26:53using it. Right, exactly. I mean, like, I, I used this reference
- 26:57the other day and I'm like, a hammer could be a great tool to put
- 27:00a nail in a board, or it could be a bad tool for somebody to
- 27:03use it to harm someone. It's not the tool, it's the person using it.
- 27:07Yeah. So everybody freaking out about AI. It's like, well, if
- 27:11we don't corrupt it, then, you know, everyone's
- 27:15got that Terminator brain of, oh, gosh, you know, the machines are going to take
- 27:18over. I mean, I'm. That might happen if in some day,
- 27:22it's not gonna happen in our lifetime. And I'm quite frankly, not worrying about it.
- 27:25I'm going to use this to impact people as best as I can.
- 27:29Yeah. Yeah. Mostly for.
- 27:33Yeah, there's some, there's some things I'm worried about with just like, you know, like
- 27:37intrusive you know, reading of things they shouldn't do and
- 27:40privacy. Privacy things, sure. But outside of that. Yeah, I'm not
- 27:44so sure that the robots are going to take over anytime soon. I mean to
- 27:48me it's just like, well if you don't want, you know, we'll just use Chat
- 27:51GPT. If you don't want it knowing things, then don't talk about it.
- 27:56Don't talk about personal stuff on there. Use it for what it was meant for.
- 28:00Don't tell it your deepest, most inner thoughts and you won't have to worry about
- 28:03that. Yeah, yeah, that's, that's very true.
- 28:07I'm a Chat GPT fan for the most part. I love it. You know, I
- 28:11can tell you this, I love to learn and I love to teach.
- 28:15I do not have the attention span to sit there and read books. So when
- 28:19I see something I'm like, oh that looks like a really good book,
- 28:22I'll take a picture of it. I upload it in the Chat GPT and it
- 28:26summarizes the book for me. I get all of the good stuff without having to
- 28:29sit there for two, two weeks and read the book. I get it in six
- 28:32minutes and I'm done. It actually reads it to me because it's voice actors.
- 28:36Yeah. For people like me because I don't have the
- 28:40attention or the time quite frankly to sit there and read that book. I
- 28:44want to learn something and take it and put it into action as quickly as
- 28:47I possibly can. Yeah. And I like things like audible for that reason too.
- 28:51You can listen to a book while you're driving. We're all driving too much, so.
- 28:54Yeah. Okay, so back to my questions here for you. So when
- 28:58the, when the clinician, practitioner, doctor
- 29:02gets that stuff back, what is is it? It's a list
- 29:05of like recommended supplementation. A list
- 29:09of what, what is on there? So on the genetic
- 29:13report it's going to tell you certain processes. Right. So we'll just take MTHFR
- 29:16because that's trending all over the place now, you know, thanks to
- 29:20Gary Breca, it's been a while. And
- 29:24explain, explain what that is for everyone if you would like. I've heard it but
- 29:27I'm like, I'm not sure how if I could really regurgitated.
- 29:31So. So MTHFR is a process
- 29:35in the body that covers over 250 different
- 29:39potential outcomes. It is
- 29:42a folate. Right. So it's methyl and a tetrahydrofolate
- 29:46reductase. Right. Any nerds out there? MTHFR
- 29:50that just happens to be the way that it looks. And certain people call it
- 29:53the you know what gene, because that's what it looks like.
- 29:57I actually had that on here, which is why I had these made.
- 30:03Okay, cool. So this is a play on that bmi.
- 30:07Yeah, the BMI. Because every time you go there and you're just like, oh, well,
- 30:11you're. You're obese. Like, you know the
- 30:14BMI chart. Please, if any of you ever listen to that, please don't. It's
- 30:18absolutely ridiculous. It doesn't tell you anything other than your
- 30:22relationship with gravity. It's completely useless. It doesn't tell you your body
- 30:25composition. And so that's where this brand was launched because
- 30:29of that. And so. Oh, it says, I just.
- 30:33I couldn't see the whole thing. So it says, Morbidly O'Beas -tah 24.
- 30:37It's in your genes. It's energy.
- 30:42So it reads like in your jeans, Mother. Right? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 30:45I haven't built that way, but I made this design to look like
- 30:49a 2024 political poster because
- 30:53it makes people look at it. It's just an attention. I don't care about
- 30:56any of those things. But it makes people read it the other day
- 31:00and the people were like, what's your shirt say? And I'm like, yeah, it says
- 31:03this. And like, what's that mean? And I told them and they're like, oh, man,
- 31:06that's a really good idea. Very catchy. So that's another
- 31:10brand that we launched, you know, kind of through this whole thing as well.
- 31:13But yeah, so. So you're going to get genetic
- 31:17insights on a report, and it's going to tell you how that patient is. Is
- 31:20processing things. You simply take that data, input it into the
- 31:24platform, and it's going to take that science, it's going to do its magical thing,
- 31:27and then it's going to give you all of the things that they need and
- 31:30it's going to build it, design it, and it can ship it right to their
- 31:34front door so you don't have to touch it. You have no cost, you have
- 31:36no expenses for anything. You get access to all that stuff and it
- 31:40ships it right direct to consumer. And you can put an FDA label
- 31:44on it because it's unique. It's in the box of what's in it.
- 31:47So, like, we will have, like, this is just one
- 31:51example. But, like, you'll get pages like
- 31:54these and it'll tell you lights kind of sucks. Right. But you're
- 31:58gonna get this. Yeah. And it's going to Tell you
- 32:02everything that's in it. Okay dosage. And it even has
- 32:06what's called chronobiology built into it because your body is going to use,
- 32:09and everybody's different on these types of things, but your body is going to
- 32:13use things better during the day or sometimes at night. Right?
- 32:17So you have chronobiology and your circadian rhythms are built into it.
- 32:20So for instance, a lot of people are up in the morning and they're taking
- 32:23Omega 3s with breakfast. Well, your body doesn't absorb them that well because
- 32:27they're soluble fat. So you need to take them at night. You'll get 10 times
- 32:30better result. Same thing with vitamin D. You get up in the morning and you're
- 32:33popping a vitamin D pill. Well, if it doesn't have K2 in it with cofactors,
- 32:37it's not going to absorb. Right. And vitamin D isn't actually a vitamin, it's a
- 32:40hormone. So you need to take it at night. So you take your vitamin D
- 32:44right before you go to bed, you're going to get a much, much larger effect
- 32:47from it. So interesting. All of these things are
- 32:50factored into that. And science knows that you need that. So it'll tell
- 32:54you what you need and what dose and when to take it. And it'll be
- 32:57all built out for the patient. So the doctor doesn't really have to do a
- 33:01whole lot other than give them access to it, plug in the data and
- 33:04let the platform build it for them. It's really a lot of the
- 33:08doctors I work with, they call it functional medicine made simple. And it really
- 33:11is that. You know, it does all of the heavy
- 33:15lifting for you. The legwork is done. You don't have to stand there and figure
- 33:18out, you know, interactions for four hours per nutrient. By the way,
- 33:22with every drug on the planet. There's a lot of drugs on this planet. It
- 33:26is insane. So, you know,
- 33:30to, to answer your question, what does the doctor get? They get data, they
- 33:33get the program completely built. They get increased
- 33:37patient outcomes, and they get the most happiest patients
- 33:41on the planet Earth. And as a result of that, and they're making extra money
- 33:44by doing that anyways. So I look at it this way. When I was
- 33:47training, I didn't want my clients going to GNC and taking
- 33:51advice from some kid that doesn't know anything. I wanted to control
- 33:54that. Well, when they're not with me for 23 hours of the day,
- 33:58I can't really control what they're doing. Now I can. And it's the Same
- 34:02thing with proactive healthcare. I want to give you the power to control what
- 34:06they do when they're not with you. So if you give them something
- 34:10that's going to work 10 times faster without having to
- 34:13burden yourself, now you can take all of those
- 34:17patients that you're seeing. Instead of doing a revolving door of 10, 12,
- 34:2115 patients an hour, you can cut that down to three or four and
- 34:24actually spend time with these people and 10 times more
- 34:28money. So the business model we have that really fleshes all of this
- 34:32out is going to be able to increase their income.
- 34:36You know, and, and everything is arbitrary, depending on how things work.
- 34:39But I use an example with a
- 34:43baseline, and at a hundred patients,
- 34:47you're able to access this out. You're going to increase your clinical
- 34:50revenue by over 250% with zero
- 34:54insurance reimbursements, with zero lead
- 34:57generation, and you don't have to chase patient volume just to make ends meet.
- 35:01You can go home and spend time with your family, because you're not chasing a
- 35:05dollar, you're chasing a mission. One of the
- 35:08main things that we have this built for is because at the end of the
- 35:12day, you don't want to be a prisoner to your four walls and locked into
- 35:15that business and locked into that clinic. Yes, you
- 35:19want to serve patients, but at what cost? Your own health.
- 35:23Guess what? If you go down, who helps them?
- 35:26Yeah, and I've had a couple private pay clinics
- 35:30on here. So Jamie Pribyl, with Healing
- 35:33Hands Physical Therapy and Bodywork was on here. And of course, you know
- 35:37her, and she. She has this. So.
- 35:41And I was, I was going to mention that because I know the
- 35:45reason she talked on the podcast about this was that the reason
- 35:48she's not taking insurance is because it's just like,
- 35:52you can't do good patient care the way she would want to do it. You
- 35:56can't just sit there and work on a patient. It doesn't. Insurance won't
- 36:00pay for that. They'll pay for a very, very short session and
- 36:03someone who doesn't make much money doing the exercises over
- 36:07in the corner, and you can kind of keep an eye on them. But you
- 36:10have to be doing two things at once. Working with one patient and
- 36:13keeping an eye on the other person. This was. I'm paraphrasing what she said
- 36:18as best I can recall it. So I know that
- 36:22the worst phrase in healthcare is not
- 36:26medically necessary. Well, who decides
- 36:29what that is? Insurance? Not doctors. Yeah,
- 36:33exactly. And that's. That's, I think, a big problem.
- 36:36It is a Big problem. And so that's why a lot of people are switching
- 36:40over and. Yeah, I mean, and Jamie's great. Her model and her mindset are
- 36:44so transcendent of what most people are doing, especially in
- 36:47PT, because she's doing things differently
- 36:51than any other clinic that I've seen in that industry.
- 36:55And I can tell you this, it's only going to get better. We're just
- 36:59getting started with that. But the approach
- 37:03has to be about the patient. And so many
- 37:06of the models can't be about the patient because of, like, what we said
- 37:10a few times is, you're chasing a dollar. And I see,
- 37:14you know, clinicians all over Facebook and social media, you know,
- 37:18oh, I saw a thousand patients this month, and I'm like, that's great,
- 37:22but that's not the flex you think it is. No.
- 37:25Yes. You got to help a thousand people, but at
- 37:29what cost? At a hundred hours a week, you don't
- 37:33see your family, you can't do anything. You're exhausted. We all
- 37:36know how nurses, and thank you, God, for you, nurses. Yeah.
- 37:41The worst health in health care because they're so burnt out.
- 37:44They're smoking, they're eating absolute garbage, they're drinking sodas
- 37:48because they don't have time to take care of themselves.
- 37:52So if you can't take care of you, I call it airplane syndrome. Right. You
- 37:55ever get on a plane and they tell you, you put your mask on first.
- 37:58You can't help anybody else if you can't breathe.
- 38:02Yeah. That's the world we're in right now in healthcare. It's
- 38:05being suffocated by insurance regulations, and we need
- 38:09to put our mask on first so that we can actually make that
- 38:13difference. Yeah. And then just this.
- 38:16And I'm not calling out any particular person in general, but I just, I
- 38:20do remember, like, when my dad had chemo and at the hospital, they're
- 38:24just offering him soda and just the most nutrient
- 38:28lacking food. And it's just as if
- 38:31there's a belief that it doesn't make any difference. Yep. And they call
- 38:35themselves dietitians. I have had many, many run ins with hospital
- 38:38dietitians, and it was not a pretty sight.
- 38:42It is abhorrent for someone in that position to deliver
- 38:47what they consider to be okay nutrition for
- 38:50somebody that is dealing with any type of medical issue.
- 38:54Yeah, it's. It's. The disconnect is. Is astonishing
- 38:58to me. It's astonishing in all the wrong ways.
- 39:02Yeah. And I, And I really blame. I don't blame the person. I don't
- 39:06think it's intent. I don't, I don't find it to be malicious intent
- 39:09even. A lot of people are blaming doctors for a lot of things. It's
- 39:13not doctors. I don't think so either. So
- 39:17this is a wild, wild stat. Right?
- 39:20Do you know how many credit hours Traditional medicine gives
- 39:24MDs in nutrition? Right. One, maybe.
- 39:28Right. For credit hours. Four credit hours. You
- 39:32know how many credit hours they get in pharmaceutical drugs?
- 39:38A thousand? I'm not sure. 38. Okay.
- 39:42I'm way off. Yeah, yeah. I'm way off in those programs. Not a thousand.
- 39:47Okay. Really? Medical school in general, the whole thing would be about
- 39:51140020 roughly.
- 39:55So, you know, when you're getting, when you're given, you know,
- 39:5838 credit hours on drugs, pharmaceutical drugs, and
- 40:02four on nutrition, and they tell you, oh, check with your
- 40:06doctor. Why? They don't know anything.
- 40:09Why do I need to check with them? Check with your doctor before starting a
- 40:12healthcare regimen or a nutrition plan or exercising. Why?
- 40:16They don't know. It's not. Because they don't want to know. They're never taught.
- 40:20Well, and I, and you know, I have dear. I have clients that are
- 40:24MDs. I have dear, dear friends that are MDs
- 40:28and family members, MD. Are saying to be MD.
- 40:32And you know, I think that, you know, I know I had
- 40:36one friend kind of whisper to me, she's like, this is
- 40:39incredibly embarrassing, but I'm. And she had cancer
- 40:43and she's like, I don't, I don't know the nutrition.
- 40:47I'm working with a nutritionist because I wasn't taught it. And I just,
- 40:50I was like, I mean, I've heard that. I know. Yeah. You know, and these
- 40:54are people. Such good people. Such good people to her
- 40:58for admitting that. Because that's a big deal. Yeah. And I mean,
- 41:02but everyone, like, these are all such good people. Right.
- 41:05So most of them are. They just don't know any better. They're a victim
- 41:09of the system, just like the patient, you know, they're. They're just a cog
- 41:13in the machine of billion dollar revenue. And so, you know,
- 41:17when you look at the, the food and all of the things that happened in
- 41:20the 80s and how things have gone. I was thinking this the other day and
- 41:23you go to the grocery store and you're like, man, you remember when you could
- 41:26just go to the store and just buy chicken and just buy beef and just
- 41:30buy eggs. And now you got 46 categories
- 41:33of, you know, oh, I need pasture raised, grass fed. This, that and the other
- 41:37And I'm like, why is there any other option other than that
- 41:41in the first place? And then you look to the answer of well, because that
- 41:44way they can feed you more drugs. The whole point is to get you sick
- 41:47so they can feed you more drugs so they can make more money. Right. You
- 41:51always hear there's no money in cures.
- 41:55Well, there's a terrifying amount of pesticides. The amount of
- 41:59pesticides is, is and it's getting worse. And
- 42:04the FDA and EPA are just clearing more p, you know,
- 42:07pfas and it's, it's not, it's not
- 42:11sane. Yeah. The amount of stuff going on, you. Know, the definition
- 42:14of terms is something like a lot of people don't realize too.
- 42:18The definition of terms is also tainted. You know, I was explaining,
- 42:22I think I was actually talking to Jamie about this the other day. And you
- 42:25know when you look at grass fed beef. Right. The
- 42:29definition of terms, oh, this is grass fed. Okay, but for how long
- 42:33and when? Right. Usually it's for the last two weeks of
- 42:36their life. It's grass fed, it's grain fed all the way up until legally
- 42:40I can say it's a grass fed because of xyz, pasture
- 42:43raised chickens. Right. You ever looked at what one of those actually says when
- 42:47in your, your grocery store? And it tells you that they're pasture raised
- 42:51and they're free range and they have 103
- 42:54square feet of amazing earth to live on. That's not a
- 42:58pasture. But here's a, here's
- 43:02one that really got me. You got farm raised
- 43:06fish. Absolutely garbage. Now you've got wild caught
- 43:09fish and people are out there buying wild caught fish. Well, guess
- 43:13what? The food industry realized that people want wild
- 43:17caught, but it's just too expensive. So you know what they started doing? They started
- 43:21building fisheries in the middle of the ocean. So by definition
- 43:25I can say this is wild caught, even though it really isn't. It's a farm
- 43:28in the middle of the Atlantic that is technically wild caught.
- 43:33I have not heard that one. These are the things that go through
- 43:37and the deception over Americans health. And it's worldwide too.
- 43:41But America is by far the worst. You take, oh, it's just a sewer.
- 43:44You see the example of ketchup all over the place. Why does ketchup in this
- 43:48country have tomatoes? Salt, sugar and spices. And ours has
- 43:52all of these just insane things. Yeah, it's
- 43:55tomatoes. What are we doing? So
- 43:59because of that we have to try to take a stance and really empower ourselves
- 44:03to be able to get away from those things. So going back to the
- 44:06mthfr, it has become more and more prominent
- 44:10that it's an estimated about 80% of Americans now
- 44:14have some deviation in there. There's two alleles and those
- 44:18processes are going to be responsible for a lot of things. The big
- 44:21things are going to be cardiovascular health,
- 44:25homocysteine levels, fertility, cancer,
- 44:29brain health, mental degradation, Alzheimer's, early onset
- 44:32dementia, those types of things. MTHFR can influence those things.
- 44:38A lot of people have toxic buildup because
- 44:42of GMO seeds and then they're spraying these synthetic folic
- 44:45acids, right? You ever seen a food that says enriched or fortified,
- 44:49mostly grains, pastas, bread, types of things? Well, that means
- 44:53that they're putting vitamins back into the food that they stripped
- 44:57out of it because of the processing. The problem is the vitamins they're putting
- 45:00back in aren't what was naturally in it. And now they've got these synthetic
- 45:04things floating around in there, microplastics and a whole host of other
- 45:08things. Well, if your body is deviated
- 45:11in mthfr, you can't process that because it's
- 45:15not natural. Your body is building up toxic levels of
- 45:19these things and guess what, it's like a volcano. When your liver
- 45:23can't process these things, you get toxic load buildup and then you start
- 45:26getting all kinds of issues that are going to come out in some form.
- 45:31So looking at things with folic acid, you need some type of
- 45:35natural version of that. And so one of the things we take is, you know,
- 45:38different types, but we use L methylfolate. A lot of it is
- 45:42phosphate brace and things like that. It's its natural methylated form.
- 45:45Folate is its natural form, but your body can't use it. So you have to
- 45:49put it into your body. It goes through its cellular process, breaks it down into
- 45:53methylfolate, and then it can be absorbed into the body. Ours are
- 45:56already ready and they're bioavailable that way so your body doesn't have to go through
- 46:00that stress. So there's a lot of stuff out there with
- 46:04Gary Breca and talking about that methylated vitamins. The only thing
- 46:08is, is that you need to know what you need. Because if you're blindly just
- 46:11taking a bottle of stuff that they make because it's one size fits all,
- 46:15it might actually do you harm. You can over methylate
- 46:19and over methylating is actually worse than under methylating.
- 46:23Interesting. Go down that road. So I
- 46:27don't know about that. Can you tell me more about that? Like what does that
- 46:29mean? Like taking. So your body is going to use
- 46:33B vitamins for a variety of different things. It's going to basically be
- 46:37any energy expenditure. And in this cell, your
- 46:41body is going to oxygenate blood, it's going to have nutrient delivery.
- 46:44And so if your body doesn't have these processes working and it's called
- 46:48methylation pathway impairment, if your body isn't able
- 46:52to use and process those things, your health is going to
- 46:55suffer. This can include, like I just said, cardiovascular health,
- 46:59cancer, dementia, Alzheimer's. It can affect
- 47:02hormones, especially in women.
- 47:05Estrogen. If you can't clear your estrogen through estrogen
- 47:09detoxification pathways in the liver because your methylation is impaired, you are not
- 47:13going to have a good time. And so
- 47:17just all those types of things working in concert, your body's
- 47:20cellular processes are now impaired. It's basically like,
- 47:24for lack of a better analogy, it's a clogged toilet.
- 47:28Your body can't do things it needs to do because something's in the way.
- 47:32And when you have this enormous toxic buildup in your body
- 47:36from these synthetic things, it's not just that the folic
- 47:39acids, you know, the parasites that may be
- 47:43present in some things, the herbicides, all those things are kind of working
- 47:47together and we're just eating. It's basically like eating a shoebox at
- 47:50this point. It might as well be, you know, a lot of the ingredients that's
- 47:54in the food and the breads and like Subway is a prime example. I
- 47:57think about their bread is not even classified as bread in Ireland because
- 48:01it has so much crap in it. It's not really bread. It has more
- 48:05rubber in it. So, like,
- 48:09to just. To just like go. It makes sense to me that people.
- 48:14Don't. Would mock this or would not think it's real or would
- 48:18not want to hear it or would assume it's not like that. Because we're
- 48:22supposed to have a government regulating this. And
- 48:27we could go into maybe why, but it doesn't seem like our government has been
- 48:30regulating it whatsoever. Well, here's what I can tell you on
- 48:34that. Never put your faith in
- 48:38any government entity. They do not care about what's best for you
- 48:41in any way. There's. There's good and
- 48:45bad in everything. Politics are always going to be politics. And here's what I'll
- 48:49say on that and end it with that, because I don't want to get into
- 48:52that conversation. But I don't either. We went
- 48:55from one extreme to the other, right? We went from this and now we're here
- 48:59and everyone's yay here. This is good.
- 49:03This was bad. But this is bad too because
- 49:06it's lobbying for things it shouldn't be. At least it's
- 49:10better. But it still has its downside. And so this
- 49:14side is always still going to lobby
- 49:17because it has vested interest in certain things. And
- 49:22I'll probably touch on that when we get to one of the things
- 49:26that we're going to talk about here in a minute. But don't put
- 49:29all of your faith in any politician, in any government
- 49:33entity, because they all have agendas and they're all
- 49:37rooted in money and not what's best for you, no matter what
- 49:41they say. Well, and, and even if they
- 49:44go in with, with high intention, I think, you know, we cannot
- 49:48underscore enough the effect of a whole
- 49:51lot of trillion dollar, billion dollar industries
- 49:55with pesticide industry, the chemical industry, the food industry. So
- 49:59together. And that's which is what we're talking about. Like
- 50:03they, they just go lobby, which means they just buy people
- 50:06and, or, or maybe they don't, I don't know, whatever they do. But it's like,
- 50:10you know, everything's for sale, apparently. Yep,
- 50:13absolutely. If you're a career politician and
- 50:17you're threatened with the loss of that and funding to
- 50:21keep that going, of course you're gonna, you're gonna cave. And
- 50:25case in point, when you have a bill that you're putting into,
- 50:29you know, submission and it has stuff in there
- 50:32from people like, well, you know, hypothetically, let's just say,
- 50:36you know, I want this, I want the ink on this paper to be red.
- 50:40Okay, cool. Well, if you want me to support the ink on this paper being
- 50:44red, then you have to allow me to dump oil in the, in the
- 50:47ocean. Like those two things don't go together. Why is that there? Because I
- 50:51can. Because if you want my support, you got to give me what I want.
- 50:55And that's how it works. And it does seem like there's other
- 50:58governments on the planet that do it better than ours for sure. But
- 51:02yeah, well, you know, you know, the regulation country.
- 51:06What's that? We are a greedy country. Well, we can just
- 51:10go. It's just the one thing I just think everyone needs to go is go
- 51:13read the back of the labels of what you think is fine
- 51:17and then go do some research just with,
- 51:20you know, any kind of Google AI or whatever you're using
- 51:24and figure out what that's doing to your body and
- 51:29you know, even some practices of just like trying to
- 51:32be mindful enough to pay attention to a part of your body and
- 51:36go, I'm not doing well. Which I've had to do a lot.
- 51:40I mean, I'm like, I. One of the reasons I started this podcast is like,
- 51:43I'm like, I know so much, but I'm not doing well. And
- 51:47so there's. There's. There's a disconnect created from life
- 51:51stress. And so, like, the attention needed to be. You
- 51:54know, this is. And my way to get back to the world as I'm. As
- 51:58I'm reminding myself of it on a weekly basis of all the things I need
- 52:01to be paying attention to. So there's. I don't talk down on any of this.
- 52:05Like, I'm. I'm at the point where I'm like, I need to. I need to
- 52:08make a lot of changes, you know, and. And in
- 52:12the process of doing that. So this is just part of, like, getting the word
- 52:15out to people, because I think there's just a lot of people who are not
- 52:19feeling good. Yeah. Or buried someone
- 52:23recently, you know, that it's just not. It's just stuff is not
- 52:26okay. Yeah. So that's a very valid point. I mean, and a lot of times,
- 52:30it's not about knowledge, it's about application. There's a lot of really,
- 52:34really intelligent people out there that know things. They just don't do
- 52:38them. I know. I've done that. I've done that a lot of times in my
- 52:41life. I know better than to do this. But, you know, you're
- 52:45stressed out. Life has you beat, you're defeated, whatever's going on. And you're like,
- 52:49I know I shouldn't do this, but I'm gonna do it because. Why? Because it
- 52:52gives me a dopamine response, and I just want to feel good. But
- 52:56guess what? Now that you feel good for 10 minutes tomorrow, you wake up
- 52:59feeling absolutely horrible. So it's.
- 53:03It's about discipline and making decisions, and we're not perfect. You know, like we were
- 53:07talking about before we got on here, you know, you. You
- 53:10are a health expert, you know, whatever. And,
- 53:14you know, in personal training, this used to drive me crazy. I
- 53:18used to see it all the time. There would be, you know, one guy,
- 53:22and I'll call meatheads, because I used to be one, you know, meathead guy over
- 53:25there and be like, oh, that trainer needs a trainer. And I'm like, yeah, that
- 53:29trainer has 10 times more people clients than you do. Why? Because no one wants
- 53:32to look like you. They'd rather identify with someone that they're comfortable
- 53:36with. And so that female that's, you know, considered
- 53:40that trainer needs a trainer by you is actually doing better. You
- 53:44want to know why? Because she knows who she is and she's more attractive
- 53:47and more relatable. Because less than 1%
- 53:51of the world wants to look like that.
- 53:55Go into the market and understand that personal
- 53:59training is nothing more than someone that
- 54:03knows how to do exercises.
- 54:07It has nothing to do with nutrition. It has nothing to do
- 54:10with anything else. You might be the best personal trainer in
- 54:14the world, and you might be a hundred pounds overweight. Does that make you
- 54:18a bad trainer? No, it doesn't. It just means you don't understand
- 54:21nutrition. Okay. There's a big difference
- 54:25between. And fitness. Okay. Yeah. Getting
- 54:29how to teach someone how to do a. A bicep curl with a
- 54:32pronated hand grip is easy, but
- 54:36one, how to get into nutrition space and understand proteins, fats, carbs,
- 54:40and how those break down in energy and all that wonderful, fun stuff.
- 54:44No, personal training school teaches nutrition. Ours does,
- 54:48but, you know, most of the ones out there don't because it's
- 54:52irrelevant because all they're. They're telling you how to do a
- 54:55biomechanical movement. And so, you know,
- 54:59Carol arbitrarily. Sorry if her name's Carol. Carol is
- 55:03wonderful, wonderful trainer. But Bert over here going, oh, she
- 55:07needs a trainer. She's out of shape. It's just
- 55:10perspective because at the end of all things, Carol's killing it
- 55:14and Bert sucks. Yeah.
- 55:19So funny. Well, and I've had trainers over the years, and I know the one
- 55:22in. And I had in Tennessee was overweight, and that was a big issue
- 55:26with sometimes management. But sure, she was the
- 55:30most popular. She was the best trainer there.
- 55:33Exactly. And everyone wanted to go to her, and she created community
- 55:37and. You know, all the things. So
- 55:41that's the name of the game right there. How do you influence and impact people?
- 55:44Right there, that lady did something, you
- 55:48know, the way that it should have been. And the problem is, is that the
- 55:51industry doesn't recognize it because they're too caught up on the
- 55:54superficial. Yeah, no, I agree with
- 55:58that. Well, and I really like what you're doing in the fact that
- 56:02because, because people go. They want to feel better. And, you know,
- 56:06the. Generally people don't know why they don't feel good.
- 56:09They. They don't. They don't know what to fix. They don't know what to
- 56:13change, so they just try to do the next thing that comes along that seems
- 56:17like a good thing to do. And one thing
- 56:21that I like about what you've been talking about is like, if they go to,
- 56:24you know, because you work with. You can work with a medical doctor or
- 56:28all kinds of different ones. So they might go to a chiropractor or a
- 56:32PT or a medical doctor, but any of those people can work with you.
- 56:36Yes. Right now we can work in, because we're working
- 56:39from the cell up. Whether, you know, we work with doctors
- 56:43all over the place that are MDs, osteopaths, you
- 56:47know, naturopaths, oncologists, cardiologists, you name
- 56:51it, we're working in it because it's all relevant because it's the human body and
- 56:54we're trying to make it better. Yeah. And I love that. And it's, you know,
- 56:58I like the synergy of something that's actually good for the patient is actually good
- 57:02for the doctor. It could actually, you know, be good for everyone. Yeah.
- 57:07What'S that? That's the whole key, is it's got to be a beneficial relationship for
- 57:10both sides, because the whole problem is the system is broken, is
- 57:14either the patient gets really good care and the doctor suffers, or the
- 57:18doctor is doing really well and the patient suffers. Why can't we just have
- 57:21both? And why can't we have both? Exactly. And that's why we're doing what we're
- 57:25doing. Yeah, I love that so much. So
- 57:29if someone who is. Is listening to this, is a practitioner
- 57:33doctor, what would they do to
- 57:36work with you? They can go on to our
- 57:40website, the practicalpractitioner.com and just send me an
- 57:44email. We can set up up a little consultation. Those are completely free. And
- 57:47I will be honest, there's caveats. Working with us because we're very picky. If you
- 57:51don't have the right mindset and the right heart, I will not give you
- 57:55access to this. What does that mean?
- 57:58If someone's only out to chase a dollar and not help people,
- 58:02this is not for them. If they are
- 58:06completely engulfed in the broken
- 58:10system and unwilling to deviate from that, this is not for them.
- 58:14Them. This is for. This is for the ridge of the coin.
- 58:17Right. The very small, select group. And
- 58:22you've got to be willing to do things the right way for the right reason.
- 58:25And unfortunately, there are, you know, there
- 58:29are people out there that don't have the right mission, and that's okay,
- 58:33but it's not where we want to be. And so the beautiful thing is we
- 58:37get to decide who we work with because we have
- 58:41a relationship and we have a reputation that we will not
- 58:44compromise just because, you know, Influencer A
- 58:48can bring us a billion dollars in revenue. I don't care
- 58:52what you need. And don't just accept,
- 58:56you know, what someone else may be doing that's working for
- 58:59them, that's great. But you are unique. You are genetically different than
- 59:03everyone. You have different predispositions, you have different responses.
- 59:06Responses. And as a result of that, health needs to be
- 59:10treated on an individual basis. There's only one you, and there's only
- 59:14one plan for you. And I would invite you to figure
- 59:17out what that is. Even if it's not with me. I will say that
- 59:21with this particular stuff that we're doing with genetic integration
- 59:25and a lot of the things that we've discussed, it is proprietary
- 59:29and intellectually property owned by what we do. So a lot of that,
- 59:32no one else really can do it. There are.
- 59:36There's always other things out there. I'm not saying we're the end all, be all.
- 59:40We're just doing our best with where we're at and trying to make a difference
- 59:43and empower. So just my, my
- 59:47biggest takeaway would just don't accept what is.
- 59:50Ask questions and learn. Yeah, I love that.
- 59:54Thank you so much, Matthew. And you can see more at
- 59:58thepracticalpractitioner.com. Yes.
- 1:00:01Yes. Thank you guys. I appreciate your time. Thank you. Mary, it was a pleasure.
- 1:00:05Yeah, thank you.
