00:00:29
Let's go.

00:00:30
And we're live with the full field podcast.

00:00:33
We're doing a little something a little different today.

00:00:36
We tried it out last week.

00:00:38
We're gonna have some lives, and then we're gonna have some edited version on all of our

00:00:42
channels.

00:00:43
As always, this is brought to you by your host, Matt Taich, and Jaboy, doctor Alfred Alessi.

Brian, you sound like a you sound like a an announcer on a sports game.

00:01:12
That was really good.

00:01:13
That's actually what, the intention was there.

00:01:17
But today, we're going to go on a couple of different directions, but we're going to talk

00:01:23
about some personalized medicine and what that means.

00:01:27
And then we're gonna tackle a little bit in terms of longevity, maybe some training, as you

00:01:34
get into maybe your late twenties, thirties, and even forties and beyond.

00:01:40
And what training looks like associated to your fun hobbies that you choose to do.

00:01:45
So that's something we'll probably tackle a little bit later on down.

00:01:48
We're gonna keep it short.

00:01:49
We're gonna dive right in.

00:01:52
Tell us a little bit about personalized medicine there, doctor Alessi.

00:01:56
Yep.

00:01:57
Hey, hey, guys.

00:01:58
Before we get into it, just wanted to come in here.

00:02:00
We got the producer on.

00:02:01
We got the producer good night.

00:02:03
Live.

00:02:03
Well, good, Kyle.

00:02:04
Good night.

00:02:05
Hey, guys.

00:02:05
Thanks a lot.

00:02:06
Yeah.

00:02:06
Just trying to see how this producer mode works in Riverside here.

00:02:10
Our first guest on a live podcast, our producer, Kyle Gidnon.

00:02:14
I love it.

00:02:15
Yeah.

00:02:15
Just, sitting here in my car, wanted to come out here.

00:02:19
My my wife's actually in getting a colonoscopy.

00:02:23
What wonders it is to be 50 years old, guys?

00:02:26
TMI, bro.

00:02:27
This is live.

00:02:28
We're we're at Facebook right now.

00:02:31
Well, you know, I'm in the medical field too, and we've gotta be conscious on our That's

00:02:35
absolutely true.

00:02:36
And do the right things to be preventative.

00:02:38
And, actually, it's a good segment about what you guys are gonna be talking about today.

00:02:42
Earlier than 50.

00:02:43
I agree.

00:02:43
Yeah.

00:02:44
No.

00:02:45
Actually, studies, I I've read a few articles, one by Peter Atsia, whom I love.

00:02:49
But, you know, for men specifically, colon health is just becoming such a trending topic

00:02:57
and he actually recommends 35, to start kind of checking things, not maybe necessarily getting

00:03:04
a colonoscopy, but a colonoscopy if, if it needs to be done, but checking in on the colon,

00:03:11
by the age of 30 5.

00:03:13
Yep.

00:03:13
A lot earlier.

00:03:15
Yeah.

00:03:15
It's like with everything.

00:03:16
That's what we were just about to talk about was personalized medicine and how important it

00:03:20
is to just be ahead of things, like getting a lot of work done every 6 months, if not, you

00:03:25
know, more often than that, and kind of understanding where your metrics are because

00:03:30
stuff happens now.

00:03:31
The stuff that we do now in our thirties and forties is what settles in as disease later on

00:03:36
in life.

00:03:36
Right?

00:03:37
And, unfortunately, nobody else talks about that in the medical community.

00:03:41
It's just a lot of like, oh, well, here you are.

00:03:43
You're old.

00:03:43
This is what happens.

00:03:44
Take this medicine.

00:03:45
So yeah.

00:03:46
It's it's backwards, but

00:03:48
And that's why I like the holistic approach to medicine.

00:03:51
You know, chiropractors in my time, and I've been to plenty of them, they always have that

00:03:55
holistic approach, and that's a that's a great way to to look into your health is that

00:04:00
holistic way to know the whole body and the whole mind and everything.

00:04:03
So appreciate what you guys are doing and, letting you get back to your show here, and

00:04:07
I'll talk to you guys later.

00:04:09
Thanks, brother.

00:04:09
Appreciate you.

00:04:10
We forgive you for your hat.

00:04:12
Oh, come on now.

00:04:13
Baby.

00:04:13
You

00:04:13
know what?

00:04:14
Go blue.

00:04:15
Go blue.

00:04:16
Go bucks always.

00:04:18
Thanks for coming out, Kyle.

00:04:19
So they, tell us a little about, personalized medicine.

00:04:24
It's becoming a trending topic for sure.

00:04:27
People are just becoming we, you know, talked about, biohacking and various things that you

00:04:32
can use as terms of, smart drugs, but personalized medicine is a lot more in-depth,

00:04:37
of understanding your body.

00:04:38
So tell us dive in a little bit, bro.

00:04:41
Yeah.

00:04:41
I mean, my take on it is, like, you need to know what's going on in your body.

00:04:45
Right?

00:04:45
I think for so long, everyone has just, like, outsourced,

00:04:49
our health to a doctor.

00:04:51
And that's just the

00:04:52
way it's been.

00:04:53
I mean, that's the way I was raised.

00:04:54
It was like, oh, you have a problem.

00:04:55
Let's go ask the doctor or go see a doctor.

00:04:58
And then they just try to give you a solution, but they never educate you on anything.

00:05:02
So I've, you know, I've really built that into the way that I educate my patients.

00:05:06
They come in with an issue, whether it's pain, whether it's gut irritation, whatever it is.

00:05:11
I wanna get to the bottom of that, and then I wanna educate them on why that's happening

00:05:15
based on how they've been living their life.

00:05:17
And then how can we now change that to get rid of this problem?

00:05:20
Right?

00:05:21
Versus just here, take this pill, you know, you have x, y, z diagnosis.

00:05:26
We'll see in 6 months.

00:05:28
It people are just in the dark.

00:05:29
And so it comes down to starting with understanding where you are and taking control

00:05:35
really taking responsibility of your health, being your doctor.

00:05:38
So you have to be your own doctor before someone else can be your doctor, if that makes

00:05:42
sense.

00:05:42
And so that that comes down to I mean, routine lab work.

00:05:46
We've talked about knowing all those biomarkers, things that we look for in

00:05:50
hormones, you know, metabolism, digestion, electrolyzed minerals.

00:05:55
You can get super detailed with with blood work nowadays, which is awesome.

00:05:58
And you can do it at home.

00:06:00
A lot of my patients come in and I just give them a kit.

00:06:02
They take it home.

00:06:03
They run the finger prick test, and then they send it out.

00:06:05
And it's functional medicine blood work.

00:06:07
So, you know, when it comes to personalized, it that's the whole thing.

00:06:11
It's like, it's personal to you.

00:06:13
What is your lifestyle with right?

00:06:15
Let's take you for example.

00:06:17
Busy entrepreneur, 3 kids who don't like the birthday cake that I bought them.

00:06:24
Felt personally hacked by that, by the way.

00:06:26
But Well, I have cake that.

00:06:29
Good.

00:06:30
It was a healthy birthday cake.

00:06:32
3 kids, busy lifestyle.

00:06:34
Right?

00:06:34
You got all this stuff going on.

00:06:35
Like, managing stress is gonna be very important factor for you and how that, affects

00:06:40
your life.

00:06:41
Right?

00:06:41
So it's personal to to you.

00:06:44
Yeah.

00:06:45
And, another one, you know, I got a good buddy, came into the clinic, highly inflamed, and he

00:06:53
needed, obviously, some direct attention to some personalized health and functional

00:06:57
medicine.

00:06:58
And what was prescribed to him was drugs to basically get him through the day.

00:07:07
Right?

00:07:08
So that he can wake up tomorrow and take that same drug.

00:07:10
Now the longevity in that, and they told him very from the get go is like, yeah, likely, you

00:07:15
know, this drug does cause to cause dementia.

00:07:19
It's like, dude, is, is that, is that where I wanna go?

00:07:22
Like, you know, I know what I'm gonna be 5 years old.

00:07:24
Yeah.

00:07:25
Right.

00:07:25
Of 45.

00:07:26
Like, is that where I went ahead?

00:07:28
And so you, obviously what, Hey, go get some blood work done.

00:07:33
We're going to come back.

00:07:34
We're going to get a leaky leaky gut panel done.

00:07:37
See if you have, you know, where the inflammation is being derived from, and then

00:07:41
come up with a game plan associated that right.

00:07:44
To drive down to that root cause.

00:07:45
I think that's huge.

00:07:47
Another thing that I do want to is one of the big things that, you know, I've been educated

00:07:52
on and dug into a little bit more, but that most people don't know is, you know, a lot of

00:07:58
people want to take supplementation and then it's also becomes like the timing of that

00:08:04
supplementation.

00:08:05
So I found out I am a slow metabolizer and by your body's rate at which it can break down

00:08:14
things and actually use it.

00:08:17
Mine is a little bit slower.

00:08:19
And so by metabolizing slower, right.

00:08:22
I supplement with melatonin.

00:08:25
If I choose to take melatonin at 8 o'clock at night, it is not going to affect me until way

00:08:32
later.

00:08:32
And so like the effects are not at nearly as good.

00:08:36
So I know that I actually probably need to take that like around 4 or 5 in order to get the

00:08:43
effects of it going into sleep, maybe around 9:45, 10 o'clock at night.

00:08:48
And so many people miss out on that.

00:08:50
I was actually, I was talking to Cole yesterday on that.

00:08:53
I was like, blood work is a good thing to know.

00:08:56
And then, like, how you're breaking things down.

00:08:58
Are you a fast metabolizer or you're a slow metabolizer?

00:09:03
Yeah.

00:09:03
And, you know, there's the basic blood work, obviously, knowing, you know, the the the

00:09:07
simple biomarkers that we talk about, and then you can get a lot more detailed.

00:09:10
They have some really cool stuff out there, man.

00:09:12
You can check your your DNA, your your, what kind of SMPs you have on your DNA that may

00:09:18
cause you to to methylate differently so that you're gonna bind and absorb different

00:09:22
vitamins, you know, either less effectively or more effectively.

00:09:26
That's something I work a lot with with patients.

00:09:28
It's, you know, kind of where I built a lot of the functional medicine practice on is is

00:09:33
checking for stuff like that.

00:09:35
And, you know, when it comes to I don't wanna say a majority of things, but a lot of it can

00:09:41
be traced back to our our lifestyle.

00:09:43
Right?

00:09:43
Like we're just constantly bombarded by toxic stuff in the environment, in our lives that we

00:09:49
need to just hit the reset button every now and then.

00:09:52
So most of my protocols begin with some kind of a detox phase, which I think that's really

00:09:56
important.

00:09:58
Yeah.

00:09:58
That I I personally agree.

00:10:01
I think that, you know, I'm not a big one anymore.

00:10:05
You know, I, this is always the thing I come back to is I guinea pig myself a lot.

00:10:12
So I, I actually appreciate the people that can ultimately like change their mind when

00:10:18
associated to different health regimens.

00:10:20
And one of the things for me last year was like significant fasting.

00:10:26
And I had, you know, a regimen where I did a typically about 14 to 16 hours of time

00:10:32
restricted eating.

00:10:33
And then I had one fast, which like that fast, you know, do anything over 18 hours, I think is

00:10:39
considered a fast.

00:10:40
Am I

00:10:40
correct on that?

00:10:42
Depends on who you ask, but realistically.

00:10:45
Yeah.

00:10:46
So I did a 24 hour one day a week, but you know what?

00:10:50
I saw that, yeah, there was definitely some reduced inflammation and I was at a caloric

00:10:54
deficit, but man did I was, was I losing muscle at a very rapid pace?

00:11:00
And so what I do now, which is a little bit different than you, and this is what I think is

00:11:05
like, cool, because you can approach it a little bit differently, but like, what I'll do

00:11:10
is once a quarter, I'll actually go through that detox.

00:11:13
And so I'll do a 7 day detox once a quarter instead of, doing any level of really time

00:11:20
restricted eating.

00:11:21
The only time restricted eating I do is I stop eating after dinner and then I pick up

00:11:24
essentially the following morning around 8 am.

00:11:27
So I get about roughly around, you know, 12 hours in or so maybe a little bit more.

00:11:32
But majority of that is obviously in a sleeping state, but, I have changed up my mentality.

00:11:38
And the reason why I changed up my new mentality is because obviously I lift a lot

00:11:42
heavier weights than I did last year.

00:11:44
And so I want to make sure I'm going in there, as strong as I possibly can be.

00:11:50
And then I allocate that time of, okay, I'm going into a restriction for a week.

00:11:56
And that, it, that seems to ebb and flow a little bit better because my, I think I'm

00:12:02
holding at a weight where my body is more justified for my frame.

00:12:07
When I'm over £200, I think I feel a little bit better when I'm at that buck 70 buck 80 real

00:12:13
lean.

00:12:14
I can run a lot.

00:12:15
I just naturally, I don't maybe it's a confidence thing too.

00:12:18
I feel a little bit more confident when I'm a little bit stronger than when I am real, real

00:12:23
light.

00:12:24
So that's just one thing that's worked for me, but you, I think you you time restrict eat

00:12:29
actually a little lot more than I do.

00:12:31
Right?

00:12:31
Yeah.

00:12:32
And I think what you might have done when you were doing that was you probably weren't

00:12:36
getting

00:12:36
adequate protein.

00:12:36
Right?

00:12:36
I mean, you're fasting a lot.

00:12:36
So I

00:12:36
think you were on the adequate protein.

00:12:37
Right.

00:12:37
I mean, you're fasting a lot.

00:12:38
So I think you were under protein.

00:12:40
So like you can definitely fast and

00:12:40
still hit

00:12:41
the protein requirements that you need for building muscle and not lose muscle.

00:12:44
That's a 100% been shown.

00:12:50
So I agree with that.

00:12:51
The other thing is, like, people think you have to have the protein shake 30 minutes after your

00:12:55
workout or else you miss this window of optimal protein.

00:12:58
It's like that's been proven to be wrong as well.

00:13:01
You know, that's not one of the bad.

00:13:02
I think that was, dude, that was announcing the protein company.

00:13:05
It came out of the biggest loop right away.

00:13:08
It was like a I think it was a marketing thing from, you know, freaking muscle milk or

00:13:12
something.

00:13:13
Like, they were like, if you get your protein right away, so then everyone's running for a

00:13:16
muscle milk as soon as they they finish their workout.

00:13:18
You know?

00:13:19
I do I do think it's a good on that though, I do think it's a good habit structure.

00:13:24
Good habit stack.

00:13:25
Yeah.

00:13:26
To yeah.

00:13:28
But, yeah, I mean, if you if you eat in a in a time restricted window where you're eating 8

00:13:33
hours out of the day and then the other, what, 16 are not eating, then you can get all your

00:13:39
protein requirements, your micronutrients, all of that in that time.

00:13:43
You're not gonna lose the gains that you're getting.

00:13:45
If anything, it's actually gonna optimize it because you're gonna give your gut a break

00:13:49
during that that detox or that, fasting window.

00:13:51
I'm sorry.

00:13:52
And that's what we're talking about, you know.

00:13:54
It's like, there's the autophagy benefits to fasting as well.

00:13:58
But the biggest thing is just letting your gut take a break from eating all day long.

00:14:02
So for me, that's the benefit I feel is, like, I feel, like, my digestion's better.

00:14:07
Like, my I'm more regular and I don't get, like, bloating or I don't get any digestive

00:14:11
issues ever, dude.

00:14:13
Like, I'm I mean, unless I, like, went somewhere and ate a a thing at my mom's house

00:14:17
and she paid ribs or something, and it was heavy as, you know, then I'm gonna feel a

00:14:20
little heavier.

00:14:21
But other than that, it's like, I'm giving my gut time to work through what I just ate, you

00:14:26
know, versus like, I use the analogy with my patients when we're talking about gut health is

00:14:31
like, like a post office.

00:14:33
They're trying to process what's in there, and they're getting new mail at the same time.

00:14:37
And it's like, oh shit, we got this new stuff.

00:14:38
How do I get rid of the stuff that I got here?

00:14:41
But there's new stuff coming in.

00:14:42
What takes precedent?

00:14:42
Right?

00:14:43
And that's kind of how our body works.

00:14:44
There's constantly being, you know, fed things.

00:14:47
It's gonna have to work on all of it.

00:14:48
So then you're gonna have, like, almost impaired, absorption of that food you had

00:14:53
because your body's just trying to get it through now.

00:14:55
Right?

00:14:55
There's limited space.

00:14:57
So although, you know, the the small and large intestine are very long.

00:15:01
So there's a lot of room in there.

00:15:03
But you start filling that thing up, you're gonna start feeling pretty backed up as well.

00:15:07
So that's that's what I think is, you know, and that's been shown too.

00:15:10
Like, if you wanna get nerdy about, like, oh, the studies, what do the studies show?

00:15:14
I don't really care too much, but, you know, I think everyone has to do what kind of feels

00:15:18
right for them.

00:15:19
That's the whole concept of, like, intuitive eating, which we've talked about before.

00:15:24
You know, kind of understanding like, oh, I feel a little hungry.

00:15:27
Like, maybe I should eat some food.

00:15:28
Or like, man, I don't feel hungry, but it's lunchtime.

00:15:31
People think like, just because it's lunchtime, I have to eat, but I'm not actually hungry.

00:15:35
So then they force themselves to eat.

00:15:37
That's, you know, that's where it can kind

00:15:38
of get a little, you know, listen to your body.

00:15:41
And if if taking a break from eating is a good idea, then do it.

00:15:46
Yeah.

00:15:46
I think that it's not, I think.

00:15:49
I know, you know, for me specifically, but then I know this is, like, you know, the guys we

00:15:54
coach at the same issues.

00:15:56
Right.

00:15:56
A lot, a lot of what catches up to people is what they eat after dinner.

00:16:00
So right after dinner.

00:16:03
And so like the choices after dinner are more neurological and habit structure of like, this

00:16:08
is a habit.

00:16:09
I want to go after a carb or a sweet or say, you know, something.

00:16:13
And so I always tend to say like, Hey, if you need to pacify yourself with something, like,

00:16:19
if you just need something in your gut to pacify it, the best thing you can do is get a

00:16:23
protein shake in you.

00:16:24
Like if it's gonna be a couple hours before bed and you're like, man, like I really want

00:16:30
something sweet.

00:16:31
Just if you can switch that up and change that up with a, like a protein shake so that you can

00:16:37
satiate your appetite for a period of time before you go to bed.

00:16:41
I it's just like a it's a choice.

00:16:44
Right?

00:16:44
It turns into those yogurts too.

00:16:46
Like, some of those, like like, nicer quality, you know, Greek yogurt, Got, like, 15 grams of

00:16:51
protein.

00:16:51
Maybe it's got a little fruit in it, so you get a a beta carb.

00:16:54
You get a little bit of hit.

00:16:55
That's actually what I was going for.

00:16:57
So, like, that's where I was going with that comment as actually is you wanna get, like,

00:17:01
more mush instead of whole foods because then like during sleep, it's obviously going to be

00:17:08
broken down a lot to be easier than something that's a whole food source.

00:17:11
That's going to take a period of time.

00:17:12
It's going to be going through the digestion cycle.

00:17:15
So I was telling them like, find mush, like something that is like, that is easier broken

00:17:22
down, like after dinner, because you're going to be in a very static state.

00:17:26
Well, obviously when you're sleeping, of course, if you can go to bed, like relatively

00:17:31
hungry, that's the best scenario, where maybe you aren't, like, completely uncomfortable.

00:17:36
You're obviously gonna get more optimized sleep.

00:17:38
But, like, usually for me, like, I do, I wanna go I wanna go some level of satiation to bed

00:17:44
for some reason.

00:17:45
And that's like, that's again, a neurological thing that, like, I just I Well, it's it's hard

00:17:51
to go to sleep till my summer.

00:17:52
Right?

00:17:52
Like, it it's not comfortable.

00:17:54
Yeah.

00:17:54
I feel the same way.

00:17:56
I'll do, you know, like, I have a pretty good, like, say I'm under protein by the end of the

00:18:00
day, and I'm like, damn, I need to get some in, but it's late.

00:18:03
There's nights, dude.

00:18:03
I don't come home until like 8:30, 9 o'clock.

00:18:06
And I'm like, shit.

00:18:06
I didn't, I haven't eaten since like 5.

00:18:09
I'm gonna go to bed now.

00:18:10
And, you know, I'll, I'll make like a protein shake with like a tablespoon of peanut butter,

00:18:14
which has some good fats, which actually kind of helps then gets you into sleep.

00:18:19
And then, you know, just some, like, raw 1% milk and and a protein, supplement.

00:18:25
Now I just pretty much put, like, sometimes I'll throw some raw eggs in there too.

00:18:29
So you just get, like, 50 grams of protein before bed.

00:18:31
It's all mush stuff like you said.

00:18:33
It's gonna be broken down pretty quickly, and I'll do that.

00:18:36
You know, there's that thing that bodybuilders do where they, like, wake up in the middle of

00:18:40
the night and will eat, like, a protein shake or something to, like, make sure they're

00:18:44
keeping that anabolism on.

00:18:45
And that's, like, been proven that, like, that's not as important.

00:18:49
You waking up to, like, wreck your sleep is, like, affecting you more than you not getting a

00:18:53
protein shake.

00:18:54
You know what I mean?

00:18:55
But, like, guys used I used to do that, like, in college.

00:18:57
I was like, oh, I gotta get these gains.

00:18:59
I'd wake up in the middle of

00:19:00
the night and, like, drink some casein protein that's, like, slow digesting.

00:19:04
It's so stupid.

00:19:06
And that's

00:19:06
a good segue for this episode is brought to

00:19:09
you by Lessie Functional Health located in Tampa, Florida, getting you to a pain free

00:19:14
future.

00:19:15
That.

00:19:16
Yeah, man.

00:19:17
And that's the whole thing with the personalized medicine we're talking about, man,

00:19:19
is, you know, as a doctor, I recommend that people knowing kind of where they are.

00:19:24
Right?

00:19:25
Whatever obviously, if you have symptoms or if you have any kind of issue, you have to figure

00:19:29
that out.

00:19:29
But if you don't, if you're living a healthy life for the most part, you still should get

00:19:34
routine blood work done.

00:19:35
Because there's there's underlying things that you can, you know, tweak and get better over

00:19:39
time that then will prevent.

00:19:41
Right?

00:19:41
If we're talking about prevention is, you know, more important than trying to fix something

00:19:45
down the line.

00:19:46
So, you know, it that that's what I always preach.

00:19:49
It's, like, it's easier to fix or get ahead of it now, right, than to wait till it becomes a

00:19:54
full blown leak later.

00:19:56
Yeah.

00:19:57
Yeah.

00:19:57
And part of, you know, something that we preach on, you know, part of personalized medicine is

00:20:02
honestly like building out the roadmap of what that looks like.

00:20:05
And medicine is not just oral things that you put into your mouth or injectable things that

00:20:10
you put into your body.

00:20:12
Medicine is across the board.

00:20:14
What we speak on all the time is that fuel you put into your body, but then also what you're

00:20:20
doing as far as a movement pattern on a daily basis, you know, get that insulin resistance

00:20:25
and really create that environment.

00:20:27
That's part of medicine too.

00:20:28
And that's part of the personalized medicine that we're referring to here.

00:20:32
Yeah.

00:20:32
Like prime example is that, say like an older woman comes in and she's osteoporotic studies

00:20:38
show that the medications that they give to osteoporotic women for, you know,

00:20:43
remineralizing bone and all that stuff are least are less effective than if that woman

00:20:48
were to just strength train 2 days a week.

00:20:51
2 days a week, just strength training.

00:20:52
Load bearing exercise that's gonna put stress on the muscle, on the tendon, and on the bone

00:20:56
is gonna help your body to then it sends a signal to the brain.

00:20:59
It's wolf's law that says bone will grow based on the demand put on it.

00:21:04
Right?

00:21:05
So, yeah, you and I, we're fit young dudes.

00:21:07
If we just laid around all day, we're gonna have, you know, weakened bone, weakened

00:21:11
immunity, all that because we're not putting a stress on it, telling it to grow.

00:21:15
And that's how the body works.

00:21:16
So stress is I think stress is something that people put a negative light on, but hormetic

00:21:22
stress, which is positive, which goes back to that fasting conversation, it's good for your

00:21:27
body.

00:21:27
Right?

00:21:28
It sends a signal that, like, hey, this is a little uncomfortable.

00:21:31
How do

00:21:31
I now adapt and grow and become more resilient?

00:21:35
Yeah.

00:21:35
For sure.

00:21:36
No.

00:21:36
I think that's that's huge.

00:21:39
Give us as we take away this episode, give us your top 3 personalized medicine.

00:21:47
I guess we could call them hacks or personalized medicine approaches, in terms of

00:21:52
like the importance of stages, to living a productive life.

00:21:58
Yeah.

00:21:58
I mean, step 1 is, you know, you have to do some kind of diagnostic evaluation.

00:22:04
Right?

00:22:05
I think step 1, even before that actually would be, you know, like, really, like, getting in

00:22:09
tune with yourself.

00:22:10
Okay?

00:22:11
Like, what did like like, you said, a road map.

00:22:13
What does my lifestyle look like?

00:22:15
Do I exercise at all?

00:22:16
Do I what is my diet?

00:22:18
Right?

00:22:18
Getting those those lifestyle factors in check, then, you know, step 2 is always some kind of

00:22:23
I'm gonna recommend some kind of functional medicine blood work, whether that's at home

00:22:27
blood work, whether that's going to your primary doctor.

00:22:29
It's better than nothing.

00:22:30
Right?

00:22:31
But they don't tend to look for as comprehensive of, detailed stuff as we do.

00:22:37
So finding a practitioner that, you know, is is in line with kind of what you're looking for

00:22:41
and can guide you on that.

00:22:43
But somebody who's gonna educate you along the way because I educate all my patients.

00:22:47
So I'm like, hey.

00:22:48
I'm gonna run this blood work and show you what it means, but I want you to understand what

00:22:52
we're looking at.

00:22:53
That way, we can run this again in the future, and you can tell me what we're looking at.

00:22:57
Right?

00:22:58
It's like, now you're your doctor and you can even do it on your own.

00:23:01
And so really, like, giving people the power.

00:23:04
Right?

00:23:04
So, like, you get these at home lab tests, you can do it on your own, you can find out, you

00:23:08
can understand your levels, and now how do I do interventions in my life to make this better or

00:23:13
to optimize it.

00:23:14
Right?

00:23:16
And then I think the 3rd would be I mean, for personalized medicine is like is like then

00:23:22
fitting all that into what you see for your future.

00:23:25
Right?

00:23:26
Like, do you wanna have kids?

00:23:27
So like, okay, we gotta focus on things that are gonna, you know, optimize my fertility.

00:23:32
Right?

00:23:32
If you're a woman, do you not?

00:23:34
Right?

00:23:35
So I I think that's probably the biggest thing, though, is is know is starting with knowing the

00:23:40
baseline levels.

00:23:43
That's good.

00:23:44
That's what we're gonna take away here.

00:23:46
I just wanna end obviously this episode with, our sponsors here.
