On today’s episode, I’m pulling back the curtain of what’s been going on within the US healthcare system and what the statistics really show.
The US life expectancy at birth is at its lowest since 1996, but meanwhile, we spend the highest amount on healthcare per capita than any other nation in the world relative to our wealth. On today’s episode, I’m pulling back the curtain of what's been going on within the US healthcare system and what the statistics really show.
Two of the leading causes of death in the US, heart disease and liver issues, are conditions that are both preventable and figure-out-able. Decreasing inflammation is easily done through diet and lifestyle changes, and I’m living proof that it’s possible to reverse chronic conditions. But, these modalities don’t provide any financial gain for corporations and Big Pharma. To date, the largest drug companies make higher profits than the largest companies of any other sector. Our healthcare budgets are increasing while health outcomes are decreasing.
So, where do we go from here? Luckily, lifestyle medicine, functional medicine, and holistic practitioners are showing some positive health outcomes for people with chronic disease and pain. I’m urging you to take your health into your own hands and get curious about how you can truly heal.
Listen in to hear my thoughts about the current state of healthcare in the US and where I see possible solutions.

Welcome to Vitally You, a podcast created to introduce you to the tools that will be your roadmap for feeling younger while growing older. I'm your host Dana frost, a wellness expert, life coach and energy medicine practitioner. Here's what you can expect conversations about vitality from the inside out with guest experts in the field of health, culture and spirituality and solo episodes along the way from me where I do deep dives into the topics of aging, heart intelligence, energy, medicine, and your innate capacity to heal. If you want to feel younger, while growing older, this is the place for you.
Dana Frost 00:52
Hello, everyone. I'm Dana frost, your host of the vital you podcast and this is my episode this week. It's my last week in San Francisco, where I've been with my daughter and her family welcoming our first grandchild baby Nico James. If you've been following me, you know I attended the Biohacking Conference last week and this was my second year and I'm already signed up for next year. Check out the earlybird pricing that's in place right now. It will be June 22 through the 24th in Orlando and I honestly I want some friends at the conference next year. I would love you to join me and this is not an affiliate recommendation. This particular Biohacking Conference is hosted by Dave Asprey, the father of biohacking. If you don't know him, you might be living under a rock maybe. And if you care about how you grow old his hacks are vitally important. You can check out all the biohacking toys at the conference. It's the who's who of the biohacking industry. Now I want to share with you my favorite tool from this year in tech Hall it is by bio harmonics technology. It is a vibrational healing bed it looks like a massage table. The table is connected to an app that's programmed with vibrations, sounds and frequencies. You choose the journey that correlates with what you want to heal. They literally have hundreds of soundtracks if you will, you get to choose what you want and the creator researched vibration and sound frequencies in terms of what is the frequency and sound the body needs to heal from whatever is ailing the body, whatever the person needs emotional and physical. So you choose your journey you lay down on the table with a headset, you get cozy under a blanket, and you simply receive the sounds and vibrations. Now they layered the experience with light therapy using in light wellness at home a light therapy device. I have been using this device since 2015 at decreases pain, decreases inflammation and increases blood flow. It is a powerful at home healing device. Anyway, my journey lasted 20 minutes and I felt like I had been in a deep meditation for hours. But when they tapped me and I came back I felt revitalized and energized was a really I was like, Oh my gosh, what just happened to me II. The best comparison I have is the mushroom trip that I've talked about. Really phenomenal. I'm going to put the link to bio harmonics technology's in the shownotes.
Dana Frost 03:40
Now my plan for today's episode was to give you an overview of the conference, but I changed course and decided to address a major barrier to biohacking and that is the current state of health for the majority of humans. If I were to give a health grade for the collective we would barely pass and sadly I don't even think is our fault. We have been taught to look to our doctors and the medical community when we have health challenges and they have clearly failed. I give conventional medicine a capital freaking f4 failed. I'm kind of fired up today you're really going to feel it. I've got some fire, so forget biohacking. In today's episode, I'm going to talk to you about the state of our Health Affairs and it is not pretty. And I'm going to give you some cold hard facts and I went into the research I already knew this but I I know you're gonna want links to see where am I pulling my data? It's all there on our very own CDC. Okay, in case you missed it because it was in a couple of the headlines life expectancy at birth in the US declined nearly a year from 2020 to 2021. And according to new data from the CDC, national Center for Health Statistics that decline 77 to 76.1 years took us life expectancy at birth to its lowest since 1996. I'm going to be saying a lot of numbers today, I'm not great at listening to numbers, I'm going to try to be clearer and go slow. So hang with me. This drop in 2021, along with a 1.8 year drop in 2020 was the biggest two year decline in life expectancy since 1921 to 1923, the biggest drop two year decline in life expectancy since 1921 to 1923. The data is featured in a report provisional life expectancy estimates for 2021. The decline in life expectancy since 2019 are largely driven by the pandemic COVID 19 deaths contributed to nearly three fourths or 74% of the decline of the decline, not the percentage of all deaths but of that decline from 19 2019 to 2020, and 50% of the decline from 2020 to 2021. An estimated 16% of the decline in life expectancy from 20 to 21 can be attributed to increases in deaths from accidents and unintended injuries, drug overdose deaths, so drug overdose falls under accidents and unintended injuries account for half of all unintentional injury deaths. Okay, that's really significant. I'm going to round up, okay, just allow me to round up 91,800 drug overdose deaths in the US in 2020. That is a 30% increase from 2019. Everybody, that's huge. That is a huge acceleration. The acceleration began in March of 2020. And went through August of 2020 to the pandemic and vital public health mitigation measures designed to reduce disease spread potentially lead to the unintended social and economic consequences, ie depression healthcare disruption, which can increase drug overdose risk, okay, these consequences combined with interruptions and changes in illicit drug supply. What this report says possibly contributed to increased fatal overdose risk for persons who use drugs. What I'm sharing today is vitally important information for you to have. Today's episode is really just peeking behind the curtain of what's been happening and what the numbers really show.
Dana Frost 07:57
Okay, so let's go to
Dana Frost 08:01
the next point. Other causes of death contributing to the decline in life expectancy, these are other causes besides COVID, and unintended deaths, from 2020 to 21, include heart disease, that was 4.1% of the decline, chronic liver disease and cirrhosis 3% of the decline and suicide 2.1% of the decline. Let me see, I'm not going to talk about the difference between men and women, men's decline increased more than women's decline. But this is this is what I want to say, because we're talking about heart disease, liver issues we're talking about and then unintended consequences. But we when we, when I look at when I look at this list, what I see are deaths that are preventable, curable, or what I call figure out of all, I think it was some marketing guru Murray, someone who coined that term, figure out double. So underlying heart disease, chronic liver disease is inflammation. And inflammation is not brain science. It's really easy. decreasing inflammation is easily done through diet, lifestyle, and that includes stress management, and natural remedies. And when I say that, I mean compounds that come from nature, and including lifestyle, things like contact with nature, like forest bathing, sunlight exposure, both of those things, actually, in clinical studies decrease inflammation. So the challenge of a public health campaign, if we look at the things I'm saying are going to help us with these chronic conditions, and heart disease, these things that are lowering our life expectancy. The challenge if we go on a public health campaign is that these modalities have no financial gain for corporations. This is just incredible, because we didn't hear about any of these remedies. is from, you know, from the government from you know, who was telling us what we needed to do, we didn't hear about, hey, if you do these things, you will lower your risk.
Dana Frost 08:01
No and, and you also know that your liver, one of these primary causes of decrease in life expectancy can regenerate itself. People, there's a lot you can do to support your liver and therefore, improve your health outcomes. Simply ditching sugar, and simple carbohydrates can dramatically decrease inflammation and support your liver. If you add in daily exercise, you can reverse type two diabetes, I was pre diabetic in 2011. And I actually very quickly reversed that by simply going off sugar and looking at my carbohydrate intake. So we know that metabolic chaos, which is what we're you know, it's what's underneath inflammation underlies all these chronic health conditions. So I wanted to just share the study. So I guess I would say maybe since the 70s, high fructose corn syrup has been used in our processed food chain. And there is a study the link will be in the show notes, it says it may trigger fatty liver disease. The study suggested that consuming high amounts of fructose may promote non alcoholic fatty liver disease by damaging the intestinal barrier. So they're even saying I mean, it impacts the liver but really at the root. We know in functional medicine, the root is your microbiome and the that intestinal barrier that that mucosal lining that protects the bloodstream from things that you digest that should not be going into your bloodstream. So this is what this study looked at. And fructose is a common type of sugar. As I mentioned in the American diet, it's a major source of fructose is high fructose corn syrup, and this started B as an inexpensive substitute for cane sugar. And in this study, as I mentioned, it says it was introduced in the 70s. It's now used to sweeten many foods including soda, candy, baked goods, cereals, studies have linked the excessive consumption of high fructose corn syrup, and other sugars to health problems like obesity, diabetes and heart disease. You would think that there might be a public health campaign sharing this information, but actually, you've got to dig through the research to find it or you've got to be on a forum where, you know, you're looking through the holistic health lens. So we have this study that suggests that high fructose intake may increase the risk of non alcoholic fatty liver disease. And this work was funded by the National Institute for Health. Okay, so isn't that interesting, and the findings appeared in nature metabolism August 24 of 2020. The team this is the findings, the team found that mice fed a high fructose diet for long periods showed deterioration of their intestinal barrier. intestines are lined with a layer of tightly packed cells covered with mucus. This barrier prevents bacteria and toxins from leaking into the bloodstream. mice fed a high fructose diet also had higher circulating level of endotoxins. Those are toxins released from certain bacteria when they die, the livers of these mice were inflamed. The team discovered that leaked endotoxins promoted immune cells called macrophages to react and increase the production of cell signaling proteins that are involved in inflammation. further experiments show these signaling proteins boosted levels of enzymes that convert fructose into fatty deposits in the liver. Restoring the mice's intestinal barrier prevented this fatty buildup in the liver. Using drugs and genetic manipulation, the team was able to stop the gut berry deterioration and excessive fructose intake. This prevented the onset of severe fatty liver disease and liver tumors, experiments and human liver cells showed similar cellular processes were at work in both species. Now, you might think that, given this information, there would be a lot of concern for the intake of high fructose sugar. And there's really not we're not really hearing this from people and yet it contributes to chronic conditions. So this is really interesting from the National Library of Medicine. This was in 2018. Okay, so I want you just to think about if we would have utilized this information if we had it in 2018 as a strategy when the pandemic hit, let me let me say a chronic condition what is a chronic condition. It is a physical or mental health condition that lasts more than one year and causes functional restrictions or requires ongoing monitoring or treatment. Chronic diseases are among the most prevalent and costly health conditions in the United States. They are costly and I want you to know something. They are preventable with diet and lifestyle. preventable. They are costly and they are preventable. Nearly half of all Americans suffer from at least one chronic disease and the number is growing. Chronic diseases including cancer, diabetes, hypertension, stroke, heart disease, respiratory diseases, arthritis, obesity and oral diseases can lead to hospitalization, long term disability reduced quality of life and death. In fact, persistent conditions are the nation's leading cause of death and disability. According to the Center for Disease Control in the US alone, chronic diseases account for 75% of aggregate healthcare spending, I need to take a deep breath. This is this information I knew and I'm sharing it now. And I think it's got me fired up because we all need to have this information. These are facts. This is what we're dealing with. More than two thirds of all deaths are caused by one or more of these five chronic conditions, heart disease, cancer, stroke, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and diabetes. Additional statistics are quite stark, chronic diseases are responsible for seven out of 10 deaths in the US got that more than 75% of the $2 trillion spent on public and private health care. In 2005 went toward chronic diseases. Imagine what it is now that was 2005. Big deep breath. In fact, today, one in four US adults have two or more chronic conditions. People how uncomfortable is that? Well, more than half of older adults have three or more chronic conditions. And the likelihood of these types of comorbidities occurring goes up as we age. Given America's current demographics where in 10,000 Americans will turn 65 each day from now through the end of 2029. It is reasonable to expect that the overall number of patients with comorbidities will increase greatly. This was 2018. Okay, we have this information before the pandemic. We had the opportunity during the pandemic when everybody was alert and watching and looking for direction, how to guide their health and how to avoid COVID to share with them nutrition and lifestyle options to avert their exposure to COVID to improve outcomes for COVID. Okay, so we see that trends show this overall increase in chronic disease. Currently the top 10 health problems in America are heart disease, cancer, stroke, respiratory disease, injuries, diabetes, Alzheimer's disease, influenza, pneumonia, kidney disease and septicemia. The nation's aging population coupled with existing risk factors, including tobacco use, poor nutrition, lack of physical exercise, poor nutrition and physical exercise, lack bear of those were something that we actually could have educated people with. There's no reason you'll see the trillions of dollars that we spent, I'm going to talk about that in a moment. We could have diverted some of the money to education, a public health campaign, we could send the National Guard out to help people exercise and we could have done a campaign around some of these things. Okay.
Dana Frost 18:54
Our recent Milken Institute analysis determined that treatment of the seven most common chronic diseases coupled with productivity losses will cost the US economy more than a trillion dollars annually. Furthermore, compared with other developed nations, the US ranked poorly on cost and outcomes. That's what we want to look at what are the outcomes all this money spent? This is predominantly because of our inability to effectively manage chronic disease. And yet the same Milken analysis estimates that modest reductions in unhealthy behaviors, modest reductions in unhealthy behaviors could prevent or delay 40 million cases of chronic illnesses per year. If we learn how to effectively manage chronic conditions, thus avoiding hospitalizations and serious complications. The healthcare system can improve quality of life for patients and greatly reduce the ballooning cost burden. We all share my dear friends, my dear friends, if you want to know why there were so many COVID deaths, take a look at this report. The information is right ain't here clear for us to see. If you have inflammation anywhere in your system, your immune system is compromised. It doesn't matter if you are not obese. Although we know that obesity was the number one comorbidity factor in COVID deaths. We don't want to talk about this. This is not fat shaming. This is called we need a healthy care system. So why didn't the medical establishment along with the government steer us in the direction of cleaning up lifestyle and nutrition? During our pandemic millions of dollars billions trillions have been sent since the pandemic and we are still getting sicker. You heard the report that I mentioned on life expectancy, it took its greatest decline since the 19. Freaking 20s. This is unacceptable given the budget allotted to health care, the US spends the highest amount on health care per capita than any other nation in the world relative to its wealth. Okay, from the national health expenditures account, march 6 8.3 billion in funding for federal agencies to use in the response to COVID 19 pandemic, eight point on March 6 $8.3 billion were released. Most of this funding was allotted directly for vaccine development, the stockpiling of equipment and to help fund state and local governments respond to the pandemic. Okay, march 6 $8.3 billion in funding released March 18. Okay, so let's just say that was released March 8 for vaccine development. If we fast forward to today, did the vaccine work? Yes, the vaccine worked for some people, particularly the older population, the vaccine was effective in reducing negative outcomes, but relative to the amount of money spent, okay, march 6 8.3 billion March 18. We passed the families first Coronavirus response act. Okay. 2020 March 18. Most of the $192 billion of funding in this legislation went to small businesses and state and local governments to help provide them with more resources to fight the pandemic and provide relief to strained budgets. I certainly know businesses who needed this money so I'm not opposed to this money. Small businesses receive money to increase paid sick family and medical leave state and local governments received an increase in federal matching assistance percentage for Medicaid and funding to support supplemental nutrition assistance and unemployment programs. Additionally, Medicare and Medicaid and the Children's Health Insurance Program received funding to increase COVID-19 testing and some federal agencies we received increased discretionary funding, I would love to know how much of the $192 billion of funding went to discretionary funding less than 10 days later, okay. 10 days later, we're at March 18. We've now spent 8.3 billion 190 2 billion now 10 Days Later March 27 2012, and the Coronavirus aid relief and economic security Cares Act of 2020. The Cares Act provided the largest amount of funding 1.8 trillion freaking dollars $1.8 trillion to combat both the health care crisis, as well as the ensuing economic fallout of the pandemic, it provided direct payments to individuals and grants to states. The paycheck Protection Program was a part of that the provider Relief Fund was established to provide health care providers with money to offset lost revenue, as well as help provide increased resources for the fight against the pandemic. We know that the paycheck Protection Program provided small businesses with forgivable loans, blah, blah, blah, blah vaccine supply stockpiles testing. Lastly, the Cares Act established several other non healthcare related programs to combat the economic crisis. So we are talking ladies and gentlemen about trillions of dollars spent since the pandemic. And you tell me, you tell me, is it working? Did it work? When we see that life expectancy declined the sharpest decline since the 20s. Let's just do some comparison. We're going to look at gross domestic product which is commonly used as a measure for the size of the economy. Okay, so if we look at the size of the economy, let's look at 1960. healthcare spending was 5% of the economy in 1960. Life expectancy in 1960 was 69 years. That's an average I didn't break it down for men and women. But in 1966 5% of the GDP gross domestic product. The size of the economy was used on health care in 2019. 17.6% of gross GDP was used for health care. In 2019, the life expectancy was 78 years. So we went from 69 years, in 1960 to 78 years, it's a decade, so a decade longer you're going to live from, if you think about the trillions of dollars that have been spent in healthcare, from 1960 to 2019, you can live a decade longer, I've got to be honest with you, I don't think it's worth it. In 2019, the GDP was it took a big jump, we understand why I just shared those acts that were passed for the pandemic. So jump from GDP from 17% of the budget to 19% was actually almost 18%, almost 20%. And rounding, life expectancy and 2020 dropped to 77 years, and 2021 we see this drop to 76 years, this is where we get the two year drop in life expectancy from 2019 to 2021. Even though we're spending in gross domestic product, 2% more of our income is spent on health care.
Dana Frost 26:08
It's truly astounding to me, that our health outcomes are absolutely so poor, because even if you look at that life expectancy, what I can tell you is that my observation people may be living longer, but they're not living more well. Yes, some people are people who have dialed in to stress management, lifestyle, healthy nutrition, and they live in the Blue Zones. Typically we see people who have higher incomes and higher education. Yeah, they they're living longer, and they're living better. But for the majority of the people, that's not happening, they're living longer and they're not living better. I'm not going to look at expenditure on long term care facilities. But if you would do a deep dive into long term care facilities, you would be astounded the amount of money spent on long term care facilities, so people living longer in long term care facilities, but really quality of life very, very low.
Dana Frost 27:00
Okay, perspective, according to the CDC in 2020, heart disease and cancer were the leading causes of death in the US and they accounted for 1.2 29 million of the deaths one point, almost one point 30 million of the deaths, okay, followed by COVID, which was 350,000 deaths. I know that COVID And I do not mean to be disrespectful, I know that lives were lost, and it was a tragedy and it was extraordinarily scary time. But if we're looking at the trillions of dollars spent, I want you to tell me who is winning the healthcare wars? And I have an answer. The pharmaceutical companies with 24 billion in net income, Novartis was unexpectedly the most profitable pharma company in 2021. They beat Pfizer and Johnson and Johnson, but I want you to look at something this is from the British Medical Journal A calculation of average net profit margins shows that the drug industry has long been the most profitable sector exceeding even who we hate the energy industry. Well, the pharmaceutical energy their profits have for years far exceeded the energy and the financial industries. Okay, from 1954 to 1999. The drug industry's mean profit margin was already more than double the average size of other sectors. Since the turn of the century, this has ballooned to more than triple. Between 2020 18, a sample of leading drug companies achieved about 1.8 times the profit of non drug companies and the Standard and Poor's 500 stock market index. This is a long running list of 500 of the largest companies traded on the US stock markets. The global industry share of the total net profits made by all companies listed on the stock market rose from around 3% in the 70s to a staggering 10% at its peak in the early 2000s. Okay, since then it has fallen back a bit, but drug companies still account for over 5% of all stock market value in the 2020s. To date, the largest drug companies make higher profits than the largest companies of any other sector. But this people, this is no guarantee that they will provide the kinds of medical innovation that would most benefit public health. I have another thing to tell you. Why is that? Why is there no guarantee? Spending is increasing while health outcomes are decreasing? Yes, for decades, people were living longer, but we have to look at as I mentioned, the quality of their health is the industrialized medical complex addressing current health conditions and my vote is absolutely not our industrialized medical complex. You is not addressing our current health conditions. So
Dana Frost 30:02
where do we go from here? Well,
Dana Frost 30:04
I believe we need a radical health service. And I say, service because we need something that it's in service to our health, not in service to keeping us sick. We need a radical health service overhaul. But we all know that that's not happening. Why isn't it not happening? The system is non responsive. And there are too many special interests, from corporate hospitals to insurance, Titans, and they all have powerful lobbies with deep pockets. Remember, the drug industry is the most profitable of all industries higher than the energy in the financial sectors? Who are the advertisers? Seriously, you know who they are big pharma. We have to build a better system. And I want you to know it is actually being done in the trenches with the people who have been underserved by the conventional model and have found practitioners through where the gossip mill through the gossip mill yep, there are holistic healing networks where everyday people who were in pain and debilitated with chronic disease and inflammation and autoimmune disorders have been healed, healed, and so it spreads from friend to friend and I want you to hear me say there is hope.
Dana Frost 31:26
If you're struggling with pain autoimmunity, a chronic condition, I urge you do not pass go run wild do not pass go do not accept the conventional models prescription that you need a pill or and or you will always feel this way and there is no hope I hear that time and time again, especially where the thyroid is concern. No, no, no Don't don't accept what they tell you. Get curious and research go down the rabbit holes. And I will say go to the rabbit holes and social media that's where people are sharing their stories. Do your own research, go look on PubMed go to green med info start researching how are people getting well from the condition that you have? Use your freakin hashtags hashtag the 80 double hockey sticks I don't want to be flagged for using cuss words. So he double hockey stick out of I will say hashtag my health journey hashtag Holistic Health hashtag functional medicine hashtag healing from auto immunity hashtag you can heal your life hashtag feeling younger while growing older, hashtag reverse aging, hashtag root cause resolution. And listen to the stories of real real people who were sick and got better. Your typical doctor does not hold the key to your wellness. Your conventional doctor does not hold the key to your wellness. And unfortunately, they are now guided by what the insurance company will pay for. And those contracts that are they have between the insurance companies and how much time they can spend with you. That's what guides them and by the pharmaceutical companies. They have pharmaceutical training, more pharmaceutical training in medical school than they do nutrition and holistic modalities. If big pharma had the answers, we would have a healthier humanity. If you look at the trillions of dollars that have spent spent and we're sicker we're not more healthy. Well, if they had the answers, we our chronic diseases would be going down not up. Inflammation will be going down not up pain will be going down not up. Actually it reminds me of Dr. Norm Shealy. You can look him up she Lee wellness. He was a neurosurgeon. He's in his 80s I don't know he's probably 90 by now but he was a neurosurgeon in pain management and did many spinal surgeries and in the 60s He left and started doing acupuncture left doing surgeries and started doing pain management through other healing modalities and started the first pain clinic. I think that was in Wisconsin. He's now in southern Missouri because he saw that his evasive strategies were long term and effective. Okay, so I have thrown a lot of numbers at you. You have felt my fire and I want to end with a few comments about the Biohacking Conference and stem cells. So at the Biohacking Conference, I was able to attend a four hour stem cell masterclass, and it was hosted by the top doctors in the field of stem cell treatments. They all agreed that stem cells are the regenerative engine of the human body and activating your own stem cells is the future of medicine. And to this I say hello lifewave stem cell activation patches. These patches are non evasive. They require no needle, and they wake up your body's stem cells through the electrical system that is 200 times faster than your nervous system. They use the electrical system to communicate to your brain and invite your stem cells to wake up. This is affordable stem cell technology. It's not what they were talking about at the Biohacking Conference, because these are doctors who are doing the more invasive procedures. So I say patch and go. So I want to share one more thing. There was another really interesting announcement that was shared. So several years ago, there was a huge lawsuit initiated by the FDA against these doctors who were at the conference. The FDA charged them with providing unauthorized medical procedures. Well, guess what the doctors won in the court of law, they had to fight it, but they actually won. And the judge said that a person who is asking doctor to use that person's, they're called a tagless. So your own stem cells are your tagless. They're a tagless themselves, they're
Dana Frost 36:08
your own stem cells, they come from you. And if these doctors take your stem cells out, and they put them back in, this is not medicine. This is not pharmaceutical, they're not altering the stem cells, they're putting them back in your body. This cannot be governed by the government. You have autonomy over your own body and what you do with your A tagless stem cells. I want you to also know that these top doctors agreed, your own stem cells are more effective at healing, whatever is happening in your system. Those are your own stem cells, as opposed to exogenous stem cells. So there are stem cell banks, you can get stem cells from all over the world, you can actually bank your own stem cells, actually, I think I'm going to bank my own stem cells, I'm going to I think I'm going to have my children bank, their own stem cells, and then their Euro tagless themselves and you can use them anytime you need them if you are faced with some sort of a debilitating situation. So isn't that interesting, a huge win from a legal perspective for our autonomy, our health autonomy with our body and our stem cells. Okay, I said a lot. Let me try to summarize what I'm trying to communicate. Our modern medical system is broken. More money is being spent than ever before in the history of humankind. The human is sicker than ever before. Life expectancy has decreased more sharply since the 1920s over the past two years. But there is hope, lifestyle medicine, functional medicine, holistic practitioners are showing some positive health outcomes for people with chronic disease and pain. You You must take your health into your own hands. You need to take dominion of your health you need to do your own research. You can change your life you can change your health and Big Pharma is not the answer. Run away from big pharma, you can heal. I want to thank you for joining me on the Vitalii podcast this week.
