I know SO many people who have been denied coverage or whose doctors are terrified to order comprehensive bloodwork and preventative screenings that can save a patients lives. Drug costs in America are higher than anywhere else in the WORLD. It’s outrageous. It has to stop. Brigham is teaches us their dirty tricks so we can safeguard ourselves and our family from this rampant corruption and greed. Share your story here. Let me know what you thought of this show. And please post any guest recommendations you want to see on KIR Pod. ❤
My insurance company charged me $400 for a service that the doctor only charged them $100 for. They told me they have a contract with the provider that says no matter what the actual cost, they have to charge me $400. So, if the service cost $1, I would be billed $400. It would have been cheaper without insurance. I DON’T understand how this is legal.
@@Anonymous-888-1 I've been astounded to see on my medicare statement that over $300 has been charged just to have an assistant irrigate my ears to get a build up of wax out with a doctor taking a quick look before and after.
I am SO impressed with your direction of these podcasts. You cover a wide range of topics and present all sides. The quality of guests and current data you present make this one of the most educational experiences in today’s one-sided reporting. Keep it coming. I can’t wait for each new episode. I really respect what you’re doing here.
Jillian is now a new hero emerging in the movement against the corporate greed and darkness of healthcare. I hope the momentum of exposing what's really happening keeps getting stronger!
Jillian, YES. Keep going, girlfriend. Expose the truth. We love you for it. Seriously, the quality of your conversations and your guests, and most importantly, your way of interfacing with these issues and people is phenomenal. We need you.
It's a shame this episode only has 15k views. Every single adult in the United States should be aware how the Healthcare system is failing us. I'm a RN who worked for an insurance company, and it is a complicated industry. We need more people in the industry to share this information with our patients. Love you Jillian.
@@candybits86 I’ve been sharing these highly informative facts about the corrupt system of healthcare (such a farce of a word as it doesn’t do anything for people) - sharing nonstop. Personally we have lost family members, friends and colleagues who had excellent insurance and these insurance companies and hospitals took full advantage of their insurances and they all died of evil taking over the entire healthcare system- hospitals, insurance and pharmacy companies are all one demonic entity set to destroy people and roll in deep deep deep amounts of money.
Let's talk about the FDA. Look what food products are approved as deemed safe to eat. Same with our drugs. Safe for who? Keep bring these videos to us!
I just want to say thank you for being a part of this movement to spread awareness to people like me who trusted, worked hard, and got abused by the system.
Everything discussed is absolutely infuriating. I'm so glad there are people like Brigham and others pulling the curtain back and exposing the corruption. Greed stems from a mental disorder - our country and healthcare industry are controlled by a lot of mentally ill people it would seem. Keep up the great work Brigham and Jillian! ❤
When my son was 2 he was diagnosed with Gaucher. It’s rare and requires an IV infusion every 2 weeks and runs about $60,000 per visit. As a father in IL, I drove to Mayo in MN as I couldn’t accept it. The doc at Mayo said there is zero incentive for medical to ever come up with a cure. He looked at me and said they will make millions off my son in a lifetime-how much could they charge for a magic pill to cure your son? I was floored and started reading how that industry feeds and wants people to be sick.

Ive been an RN for over 20 years and i will never go to the doctor or the hospital. Maybe if i have a bone sticking out. I don't have health insurance because i can't afford it for one and another im not wasting money on something i wont use. I work in a hospital, all i do is hand out pills, pills and more pills. I don't do anything that actually helps
@@kristielynnkw thanks for sharing. It's scary. They all say "trust your doctor". But can we really? What guarantee do we have that the doctors themselves are not influenced, pushed or forced to so things that may not align with their values?
So true. Also, most nurses get cancer or are sterile. The hospital does not tell patients either that most deaths in a hospital are the hospitals fault. As a fellow nurse I could go one. I agree, I would rather just die at home.
I work in insurance and have a rudimentary understanding of big insurance. I’m infuriated for the people I talk to every day, especially the elderly I speak to about how their insurance is hardly doing anything for them anymore. I’m ready to cut our health insurance for our family and going as self pay to a doctor. My husband is always saying but “what if this”. But we pay over 400 a month for something we use for our one wellness visit for our kids and the occasional cold. I’d rather save that money month over month and then if we run into an issue we have WAY more control over a big medical bill than dealing with insurance not paying on something we paid our hard earned money to have to take care of us. They don’t want to take care of people. They don’t even LIKE us. We are just claims and numbers. I do need to get my labs, but I do a “rough” “dexa” when I stop in supplement superstore, utilize my wearables, a scale that measures things like bone mass (i know it’s not super accurate but gives me an idea), eat very well due to celiac disease and work out 5 days a week weight training and spending time with my four boys outside. I make a lot of things from scratch and homemake our cleaning products for our home. My kids, husband and I deserve the best for our bodies! And I say it as a health coach and personal trainer.
Thank you Jillian for this incredible & informative interview!!! I consider myself extremely informed about the things you & your guest are talking about. But wow, learned so much. Keep getting this stuff out there. Now how do we make this affordable to everyone, that wants to be proactive about their health!
I just had this happen to a client all good markers of all metabolic markers. Cholesterol elevated. I explained how LDL is not real LDL they tried to convince client statin. I said no this will elevate blood glucose and could start real metabolic problem's. I said ask for advanced lipid profile they said, no due to costs. They don't want proof there was no need to prescribe.
I wish i could like these episodes 1000x. This has become one of my TOP health and wellness podcast! I recommend it to everyone.

@@rg5445 The FDA is just as paid and bought as the rest of them. Look up what the FDA "free range" label means. For the most part, it means nothing. Some "free range" chickens never see the light of day.
I try to circumvent the whole pharma thing by not taking any of their drugs in the first place. I found out the hard way after getting off anti-depressants and xanax. Never again.
It’s INFURIATING. But the more this insanity is exposed the more people know how to fight back. Just asking for the cash price of your prescription and it costing less than your co-pay?! And legally the pharmacist can’t tell you that unless you ask… crazy.
try to steer clear of the meds that they say take this for that but need to see U in 3months to see if it's hurting another organ even tho its helping that organ -wow😮 💡😊
This is such great information -I'd love to know where to start - what to search to take control of my own healthcare - a how to start for idiots - LOL
Thank you for helping us all get to the truth. I would love a video specifically around mental health / anti anxiety / anti - depressant meds. Based on my experience, my gut is telling me something with this industry isn’t right. I almost feel I was made to become dependent on them when that’s the last thing I wanted.
Private Equity, Insurance and Big Pharma is getting rich off healthcare. I am writing this before watching.. Let's see if this is what this guys angle is.
It is difficult for me to get through this very important interview. As I write this, a close family member is in neuro rehab after spending a week in ICU, suffering from toxic overload of a prescribed psych med caused by its incompatibility with a different prescription med, which happens to be a popular GLP-1 med. I will get through the interview and take notes. Thank you for bringing all this light.
Kudos on the direction you’ve been taking the show. I miss the Janice craziness so maybe could add a touch of that back in periodically, but I love the depth of topics you’ve been covering. I feel like others are taking more notice of how awesome you are that us listeners have already known.
Knowledge is power for tyrants that will use the information against us. Reject digital records… insurance goes up… employees suddenly fired, etc etc. Guard privacy.
Pharmacist here of 37 years, board certified geriatric and pharmacogenomic educated, I have worked for compounding pharmacies over the years. In the early years there was not as much regulation, but the expectations/ regulations have improved quality of compounded drugs over the years. I absolutely think prescription drugs are overprescribed. I have become disillusioned with the health care system over the years. and am not currently working. I was taught that lifestyle changes were where one was supposed to begin in managing chronic diseases, now it seems like they just throw a drug at it. I would love to work for Brigham!
My medicare plan was paying 80% of my naturalpath doctor visits up to 6 visits a year. This year the plan said in order to have them keep paying this I would have to pay $44 a month even if I only had 1 visit for the year. Not paying the $44/month; not worth it. I go to a naturalpath for monitoring my thyroid hormone level. I need a test for TSH, frT4 and frT3 every 6 months to evaluate that med dose is neither too much nor too little, and if just T4 is needed or T3 or a combination. The medical doctor (a physician's assistant) will only test for TSH once a year (standard of care).
In the area where I live there are huge Pharma/Bio-tech building being build on every corner it seems. Too much money to be made. Very sad folks would rather be on meds than live a healthier life style.
I’ve been diagnosed with osteoporosis in my back. My Doctor wants to give me a shot. I’m on my own while I try to figure out if there’s something natural I can do. Does anyone have a recommendation? I’m lost but unwilling to be loaded up with drugs before trying to improve my health naturally.
I’ve actually been seeing a 4th generation dr who is also 5th generation acupuncturist. She is amazing and helps patients that were given the worst possible diagnosis to find comfort and relief. She’s in Texas.
Just because you didn’t know something, it doesn’t mean that something was kept a secret. Being ignorant and stupid is on you. Many people don’t need to become a drug rep to realize what he realized just like many don’t need to try arsenic or heroine to know it’s not good. Take agency. Have personal responsibility. Think. Have some self reverence.
In Houston, I Saw Walgreens and CVS, build across the literal street from a popular compounding neighborhood pharmacy which was totally legit, w sober intelligent amazing people running it, trying to snuff their business out. But consumers rallied to move their prescriptions to them (I did) They are still open today, thankfully. I know that they compound specialty medicines for a lot of children in the Medical Center that have flavors. You know, grape flavored cherry, flavored things that people need and shame on people who are just so evil that they would harm others to try to earn money - there are better ways out there.
I’m 56 and don’t have to take any meds. I guess I’m weird because since I was a kid I’ve had trust issues. I don’t trust any entity or person until they’ve earned my trust. My family live well into the 90’s and even beyond 100. So, I eat what my family has eaten and I do what they’ve done. I went to my doctor because I thought something was wrong with me because I have the energy level of a 5 yr old which is very unusual for someone my age (and even for those that are younger). After some blood tests, she told me I’m healthy and that’s what happens when your healthy.
This is why I don't have much trust for doctors or the Healthcare industry. I've worked behind the scenes at hospitals and doctors offices. There are a good handful of doctors who are motivated to push drugs because they know if they push enough they'll get free lunches or a vacation. One doctor I worked with was obsessed with the free lunch everyday but he always wanted meat. One day a rep brought in these giant baked potatoes with every topping imaginable. It was like a potato buffet. The doctor came in and saw it and screamed, "where is the meat?!" and threw his potato against the wall. It was nuts. We also had an office manager who would hide cialis so she could sell it on the street. If the rep came we had to hide it from her. It was ridiculous. Then there were patients who were clearly addicted to Adderall and other things. They'd finish their refills early and stake out the office to try and get early refills.
I’m watching this as someone who has long believed so much of this but again WHAT ABOUT MEDICARE? Can we afford to opt out. Its a trap as once you do that drastic step your out forever.
I would drop it except for the possibility of an emergency. I live healthy and pay for a naturalpath for minor concerns which in my experience the medical system is a joke in. The only shot I've ever had is tetanus several times. I've gotten the flu occasionally; no covid (yet). My natural immune system does the job well. (83 yrs).
From my perspective, the main reason that there is not outrage, is that the problems were hugely exacerbated with the implementation of Obamacare, under which the only real winners were the insurance companies. If you say that out loud, you are labeled a racist, a bigot, and a classist. Thus, it becomes really tiresome to try to keep up this fight. I agree with you totally: if you ask the insurance company to pay for something that they are legally bound to pay for, they will just say that the provider “coded it wrong.” I call complete bullshit on that: my pap smear (one every 3 years) was not covered by the insurance company, and my provider only does Pap smears, she knows how to code. It’s a complete nightmare.
These injectables are the next ‘drive-through breakthrough.’ We all want the quick fix. They did this or started doing this 20 years ago with the gastric bypass surgery. A lot of people got that surgery and yes, they did lose weight, but they did not change their behavior about food and eating. YOU HAVE TO CHANGE THE BEHAVIOR FOR LIFE LASTING RESULTS. A few people that I know in my circle that had that surgery are now once again overweight. My niece took Ozempic and she did lose weight, but once her insurance company decided to no longer cover the cost of the drug, she was forced to go off it, and the weight promptly returned. These medication’s are often designed for lifelong consumption because that’s what guarantees long-standing revenue. I’m 57 years old and I am on no prescription drugs and I don’t plan to ever be. That’s my goal as I continue to age. I would not want to be enslaved to taking any kind of pharmaceutical medication for the rest of my life.
I struggle with life long mental health and physical pain and come to find out that psych meds were not helping because my mental health were coming from immune dysfunction like NK cells and B cells and T cells and Candida and SIBo and inability to absorb nutrients and out of control allergies from immune dysfunction. Once I started treating other issues my treatment resistance mental health improved where I am still on psych meds due to my Cetachlomines levels are out of balance in my gut Due to inflammation of my gut and sibo and candida in my gut. But I never heard a dr talk to me about all these other things…… Except 1 Gastro dr said once my stomach and intestines are my second brain. And now I understand because most of the hormones that cause mental health in the brain are in the gut also. And there is blood tests for psychiatric conditions The immune function and Cetachlomines levels are the mental health indicators
Ok. So what avenues for good care do people who are forced to be on Medicare due to their age have unless they are wealthy? I am and have been of this mindset that you are setting forth. I don’t utilize my Medicare except in dire situations: I e I had a broken bone from an accident and needed surgery. But what are my options as I already have to pay what is a much higher amount than I was when I WAS SELF INSURED AS A SMALL BIZ OWNER. I am now forced to participate in the Medicare system. If I opt out then I’m in trouble if something serious occurs but I could be spending that premium each month for healthcare in a functional medicine setting instead.
Someone please explain the “required” insurance company “wellness” exam! Isn’t this what your primary doctor is for? I see this completely a money maker for the insurance companies. Add the revenue of just this one unnecessary appointment cost to their bottom line. And all they do is ask gotcha questions that can lead to more appointments and “services” or prescribing meds! Not to mention these “exams” are conducted by third party companies and interviewers that the company chooses and we are forced to go to. Where is our privacy or right to our personal choice of our health.
Yeah the moment he said LLM / AI he pretty much lost credibility. Healthcare in the US does need significant work done, this guy is just trying to bring in business and investors. HMO's suck bad, almost everything he talked about was HMO related as those guys are just there to siphon up subscription fees from your employer while finding ways to deny coverage. The thing with HMO's is that most of their income is from your subscription fees, you pay them up front and after they got your money they have zero incentive to provide you with anything. I always recommend anyone who can do math to go with HDCP + HSA, especially if they can get their employer to contribute to it. Move almost all your healthcare costs to pre-tax dollars with the ability to make your own appointments and not needing any referrals or pre-approvals.
Serious question, how do we keep Allen, your AI, from nefariously sharing our private health information? I have serious privacy concerns with AI having all of my personal information. Health data is one of the TOP areas hackers go after to steal your identity.

That's your choice, but you might rethink you reasoning as compound pharmacists were/are the ones helping people get ivermectin, HCQ and other repurposed drugs that are cheaper and made custom for the patient when chain pharmacies refuse even when a doctor wrote a prescription.

I should add that this family member has a total of 14 prescriptions to be taken every day. It seems criminal.
Kudos on the direction you’ve been taking the show. I miss the Janice craziness so maybe could add a touch of that back in periodically, but I love the depth of topics you’ve been covering. I feel like others are taking more notice of how awesome you are that us listeners have already known.
Knowledge is power for tyrants that will use the information against us. Reject digital records… insurance goes up… employees suddenly fired, etc etc. Guard privacy.
Pharmacist here of 37 years, board certified geriatric and pharmacogenomic educated, I have worked for compounding pharmacies over the years. In the early years there was not as much regulation, but the expectations/ regulations have improved quality of compounded drugs over the years. I absolutely think prescription drugs are overprescribed. I have become disillusioned with the health care system over the years. and am not currently working. I was taught that lifestyle changes were where one was supposed to begin in managing chronic diseases, now it seems like they just throw a drug at it. I would love to work for Brigham!
My medicare plan was paying 80% of my naturalpath doctor visits up to 6 visits a year. This year the plan said in order to have them keep paying this I would have to pay $44 a month even if I only had 1 visit for the year. Not paying the $44/month; not worth it. I go to a naturalpath for monitoring my thyroid hormone level. I need a test for TSH, frT4 and frT3 every 6 months to evaluate that med dose is neither too much nor too little, and if just T4 is needed or T3 or a combination. The medical doctor (a physician's assistant) will only test for TSH once a year (standard of care).
In the area where I live there are huge Pharma/Bio-tech building being build on every corner it seems. Too much money to be made. Very sad folks would rather be on meds than live a healthier life style.
Very interesting thank you so much!
I’ve been diagnosed with osteoporosis in my back. My Doctor wants to give me a shot. I’m on my own while I try to figure out if there’s something natural I can do. Does anyone have a recommendation? I’m lost but unwilling to be loaded up with drugs before trying to improve my health naturally.
I’ve actually been seeing a 4th generation dr who is also 5th generation acupuncturist. She is amazing and helps patients that were given the worst possible diagnosis to find comfort and relief. She’s in Texas.
Just because you didn’t know something, it doesn’t mean that something was kept a secret. Being ignorant and stupid is on you. Many people don’t need to become a drug rep to realize what he realized just like many don’t need to try arsenic or heroine to know it’s not good. Take agency. Have personal responsibility. Think. Have some self reverence.
In Houston, I Saw Walgreens and CVS, build across the literal street from a popular compounding neighborhood pharmacy which was totally legit, w sober intelligent amazing people running it, trying to snuff their business out. But consumers rallied to move their prescriptions to them (I did) They are still open today, thankfully. I know that they compound specialty medicines for a lot of children in the Medical Center that have flavors. You know, grape flavored cherry, flavored things that people need and shame on people who are just so evil that they would harm others to try to earn money - there are better ways out there.
Hey Jillian, please have a discussion about the benefits of colostrum and whether it’s as good as companies make it out to be. Thank you.
Super interesting. Right up my alley. Quite the career change/reinvention ;)
Really love your podcast 🧃
Welcome back Kotter. It was the first time we ever saw John Travolta!
I’m 56 and don’t have to take any meds. I guess I’m weird because since I was a kid I’ve had trust issues. I don’t trust any entity or person until they’ve earned my trust. My family live well into the 90’s and even beyond 100. So, I eat what my family has eaten and I do what they’ve done. I went to my doctor because I thought something was wrong with me because I have the energy level of a 5 yr old which is very unusual for someone my age (and even for those that are younger). After some blood tests, she told me I’m healthy and that’s what happens when your healthy.
people have to take charge of their own lives. stop being passive about their own health and say no to doctors
Keep bringing people who give unheard information
This is why I don't have much trust for doctors or the Healthcare industry. I've worked behind the scenes at hospitals and doctors offices. There are a good handful of doctors who are motivated to push drugs because they know if they push enough they'll get free lunches or a vacation. One doctor I worked with was obsessed with the free lunch everyday but he always wanted meat. One day a rep brought in these giant baked potatoes with every topping imaginable. It was like a potato buffet. The doctor came in and saw it and screamed, "where is the meat?!" and threw his potato against the wall. It was nuts. We also had an office manager who would hide cialis so she could sell it on the street. If the rep came we had to hide it from her. It was ridiculous. Then there were patients who were clearly addicted to Adderall and other things. They'd finish their refills early and stake out the office to try and get early refills.
I’m watching this as someone who has long believed so much of this but again WHAT ABOUT MEDICARE? Can we afford to opt out. Its a trap as once you do that drastic step your out forever.
I would drop it except for the possibility of an emergency. I live healthy and pay for a naturalpath for minor concerns which in my experience the medical system is a joke in. The only shot I've ever had is tetanus several times. I've gotten the flu occasionally; no covid (yet). My natural immune system does the job well. (83 yrs).
From my perspective, the main reason that there is not outrage, is that the problems were hugely exacerbated with the implementation of Obamacare, under which the only real winners were the insurance companies. If you say that out loud, you are labeled a racist, a bigot, and a classist. Thus, it becomes really tiresome to try to keep up this fight. I agree with you totally: if you ask the insurance company to pay for something that they are legally bound to pay for, they will just say that the provider “coded it wrong.” I call complete bullshit on that: my pap smear (one every 3 years) was not covered by the insurance company, and my provider only does Pap smears, she knows how to code. It’s a complete nightmare.
I just found this! yay!
These injectables are the next ‘drive-through breakthrough.’ We all want the quick fix. They did this or started doing this 20 years ago with the gastric bypass surgery. A lot of people got that surgery and yes, they did lose weight, but they did not change their behavior about food and eating. YOU HAVE TO CHANGE THE BEHAVIOR FOR LIFE LASTING RESULTS. A few people that I know in my circle that had that surgery are now once again overweight. My niece took Ozempic and she did lose weight, but once her insurance company decided to no longer cover the cost of the drug, she was forced to go off it, and the weight promptly returned. These medication’s are often designed for lifelong consumption because that’s what guarantees long-standing revenue. I’m 57 years old and I am on no prescription drugs and I don’t plan to ever be. That’s my goal as I continue to age. I would not want to be enslaved to taking any kind of pharmaceutical medication for the rest of my life.

A clip starting at minute 50 ish would be amazing!
I struggle with life long mental health and physical pain and come to find out that psych meds were not helping because my mental health were coming from immune dysfunction like NK cells and B cells and T cells and Candida and SIBo and inability to absorb nutrients and out of control allergies from immune dysfunction.
Once I started treating other issues my treatment resistance mental health improved where I am still on psych meds due to my Cetachlomines levels are out of balance in my gut
Due to inflammation of my gut and sibo and candida in my gut.
But I never heard a dr talk to me about all these other things……
Except 1 Gastro dr said once my stomach and intestines are my second brain. And now I understand because most of the hormones that cause mental health in the brain are in the gut also. And there is blood tests for psychiatric conditions
The immune function and Cetachlomines levels are the mental health indicators
Ok. So what avenues for good care do people who are forced to be on Medicare due to their age have unless they are wealthy? I am and have been of this mindset that you are setting forth. I don’t utilize my Medicare except in dire situations: I e I had a broken bone from an accident and needed surgery. But what are my options as I already have to pay what is a much higher amount than I was when I WAS SELF INSURED AS A SMALL BIZ OWNER. I am now forced to participate in the Medicare system.
If I opt out then I’m in trouble if something serious occurs but I could be spending that premium each month for healthcare in a functional medicine setting instead.
Amen
Allen also reports all that “personal” information to the government!
Got the BMBOD (Blue Misinformation Box Of Death) on this video: "COVID-19 vaccine Learn about vaccine progress from the WHO"🤮
Someone please explain the “required” insurance company “wellness” exam! Isn’t this what your primary doctor is for? I see this completely a money maker for the insurance companies. Add the revenue of just this one unnecessary appointment cost to their bottom line. And all they do is ask gotcha questions that can lead to more appointments and “services” or prescribing meds! Not to mention these “exams” are conducted by third party companies and interviewers that the company chooses and we are forced to go to. Where is our privacy or right to our personal choice of our health.
An interview with Dr. John J. Ratey, author of SPARK - Revolutionary New Science of Exercise and the Brain might be a good fit for your podcast.
Can you interview Gil Welch Overdiagnosed
Yeah the moment he said LLM / AI he pretty much lost credibility. Healthcare in the US does need significant work done, this guy is just trying to bring in business and investors.
HMO's suck bad, almost everything he talked about was HMO related as those guys are just there to siphon up subscription fees from your employer while finding ways to deny coverage. The thing with HMO's is that most of their income is from your subscription fees, you pay them up front and after they got your money they have zero incentive to provide you with anything. I always recommend anyone who can do math to go with HDCP + HSA, especially if they can get their employer to contribute to it. Move almost all your healthcare costs to pre-tax dollars with the ability to make your own appointments and not needing any referrals or pre-approvals.
Love all the guests you have on but you have to STOP interrupting the people you interview.
Serious question, how do we keep Allen, your AI, from nefariously sharing our private health information? I have serious privacy concerns with AI having all of my personal information. Health data is one of the TOP areas hackers go after to steal your identity.
I wonder if these PBMs are killing smaller not for profit insurance carriers look at MA market consolidation. Allowing the for profits United, Cigna, Elevance to win Market share and drive up prices
Trusting ai to this level makes me very uncomfortable.
PLEASE Jiilian can you do an episode about HRT with no BS, from another point of view than Haver and her “ menopossee “ presenting hrt as close to a miracle…can we truly trust this treatment or is it just another cash grab from women who are struggling with the important stage in a female’s life?
Thank you

Is there any insurance provider that’s worth a shit? And how do we find a good doctor? If you don’t have insurance, you’re a wonderful government fines you
You are gem Jillian 💜💜
Jillian Michaels… welcome to the Intellectual Dark Web
Wow 😲 🤯
Evil of big education? I'm a whistleblower. Dyk that Orwell called the English spelling system tormenting & Einstein, treacherous. Let that sink in. Illiteracy costs 2.2 trillions per year in just the US. Go to my community note for links.
What the heck is a GLP1??
Ozempic
@@suemccarthy5662 what do the letters stand for,?
@daniellem1838 thank you so much! I feel lost in the jargon at times!
Ozempic is a GLP1
Wonder twin power...Activate!!
Can't trust ai
so. he worked for Lilly.
I really don’t trust a person who owns a compound pharmacy and promotes it in order to take more clients from regular pharmacy.
That's your choice, but you might rethink you reasoning as compound pharmacists were/are the ones helping people get ivermectin, HCQ and other repurposed drugs that are cheaper and made custom for the patient when chain pharmacies refuse even when a doctor wrote a prescription.
It gives people a choice, but you have to do the work. Some find it easier to blindly follow authority.
Too many asinine commercials throughout this interview. Please reduce them, good grief 😊
If you sign up there are no commercials. For those of us who are here to learn for free- these are the commercials that support the informative show. 🤓
WTF?!?!? - I don't want BIG-CROP & BIG-MED knowing everything about my every breathing moment. YOU GUYS LOST ME HERE!!! I MEAN REALLY - WTF!!
41:25 247 that's what we've been working on a ways to well so I have an AI bot named Allen the alien and he's literally going
41:32 to monitor your Rim sleep your heart rate variability we're going to tie that in with your dexa your V2 Max we're
41:38 going to tie that in with your blood work and your biomarkers Allen this AI will know what date you started treatment your family history your
41:44 genetics all of these variables and begin to calculate your health score and your longevity score Peter talks a lot
41:52 about this and and I mean I'm a huge fan of Peter AA one of the things he says is why aren't we quantifying and qualifying
U asking people to get tested? Then what? Get into the scam system??? This is just another salesman. Testing is not the problem, is it the treatment when there is a problem.
Don't go looking for problems, live your life. We all die. There is no magic blood test.
It’s to see what you need to fix and PREVENT things from happening.
@@HelloWorld-hb7yt he’s the real deal. Great guy and has helped a lot of people.
Please dress more modestly. Good video. Thank you.
WTH she is 👍🏼
LOL
She is dressed pretty modestly.
Yes, his tartan shirt is verging on pornographic.
Is she going to talk the whole time or let him talk....we shall see
