00:04
credible information out there that's
00:04
credible information out there that's also compelling when you're competing in

it's so easy to generate content that is compelling that is not accurate.
00:11
compelling that is not accurate.
00:11
compelling that is not accurate. Yeah. I mean there's so many ways to be
00:12
Yeah. I mean there's so many ways to be

00:14
wrong and there's only a few ways to be
00:14
wrong and there's only a few ways to be right and and so you know just if you do
00:16
right and and so you know just if you do
00:16
right and and so you know just if you do the math it's like if you say something
00:18
the math it's like if you say something
00:18
the math it's like if you say something it it's probably going to be wrong. Um
00:19
it it's probably going to be wrong. Um
00:19
it it's probably going to be wrong. Um unless you take a lot of steps to figure
00:21
unless you take a lot of steps to figure
00:21
unless you take a lot of steps to figure out if it's actually true uh true or
00:23
out if it's actually true uh true or
00:23
out if it's actually true uh true or not.

right. You want me to go first? Let's do it.
00:41
Let's do it.
00:41
Let's do it. All right. Let's get into it. What is a
00:44
All right. Let's get into it. What is a
00:44
All right. Let's get into it. What is a health metric you wish people would
00:46
health metric you wish people would
00:46
health metric you wish people would focus on more?
00:47
focus on more?
00:47
focus on more? Is it too cheeky to say no metric? Um,
00:49
Is it too cheeky to say no metric? Um,
00:49
Is it too cheeky to say no metric? Um, so I think that we are inundated with
00:52
so I think that we are inundated with
00:52
so I think that we are inundated with health metrics. Some of that is to the
00:54
health metrics. Some of that is to the
00:54
health metrics. Some of that is to the good. I'm a doctor. A lot of what I'm
00:55
good. I'm a doctor. A lot of what I'm
00:55
good. I'm a doctor. A lot of what I'm focused on is metrics and quantification
00:58
focused on is metrics and quantification
00:58
focused on is metrics and quantification and how do we get people's cholesterol
01:00
and how do we get people's cholesterol
01:00
and how do we get people's cholesterol level to the right um uh number. But um
01:03
level to the right um uh number. But um
01:03
level to the right um uh number. But um I think we're also losing the ability to
01:06
I think we're also losing the ability to
01:06
I think we're also losing the ability to feel our bodies to understand
01:08
feel our bodies to understand
01:08
feel our bodies to understand subjectively what it means to be in good
01:10
subjectively what it means to be in good
01:10
subjectively what it means to be in good health and do I have energy today? Am I
01:13
health and do I have energy today? Am I
01:13
health and do I have energy today? Am I feeling unsettled? Um what does it mean
01:15
feeling unsettled? Um what does it mean
01:15
feeling unsettled? Um what does it mean to thrive? And so I think that instead
01:18
to thrive? And so I think that instead
01:18
to thrive? And so I think that instead of layering on more metrics which have a
01:20
of layering on more metrics which have a
01:20
of layering on more metrics which have a place, um the most important metric is
01:23
place, um the most important metric is
01:23
place, um the most important metric is really this qualitative sense of do I
01:25
really this qualitative sense of do I
01:25
really this qualitative sense of do I feel healthy today?
01:26
feel healthy today?
01:26
feel healthy today? Yeah, I love that. Uh I couldn't agree
01:28
Yeah, I love that. Uh I couldn't agree
01:28
Yeah, I love that. Uh I couldn't agree more. We try to like quantify things,
01:29
more. We try to like quantify things,
01:30
more. We try to like quantify things, put a number on it, and that makes
01:31
put a number on it, and that makes
01:31
put a number on it, and that makes decisions easier, right? Um but the
01:33
decisions easier, right? Um but the
01:33
decisions easier, right? Um but the reality is that like everybody's biology
01:34
reality is that like everybody's biology
01:34
reality is that like everybody's biology is so different and so those numbers are
01:36
is so different and so those numbers are
01:36
is so different and so those numbers are sort of like um indicative, but I agree
01:38
sort of like um indicative, but I agree
01:38
sort of like um indicative, but I agree with you that there's a lot of behaviors
01:40
with you that there's a lot of behaviors
01:40
with you that there's a lot of behaviors and things that I think that probably
01:42
and things that I think that probably
01:42
and things that I think that probably make a lot of sense like um for people
01:44
make a lot of sense like um for people
01:44
make a lot of sense like um for people to spend more time on. for myself as a
01:46
to spend more time on. for myself as a
01:46
to spend more time on. for myself as a microbiologist like you know my answer
01:48
microbiologist like you know my answer
01:48
microbiologist like you know my answer to this is always the microbiome right
01:50
to this is always the microbiome right
01:50
to this is always the microbiome right but like even there there's not like a
01:51
but like even there there's not like a
01:51
but like even there there's not like a number or a metric that you can track
01:53
number or a metric that you can track
01:53
number or a metric that you can track you go out and you get your microbiome
01:54
you go out and you get your microbiome
01:54
you go out and you get your microbiome sequenced you get that information back
01:56
sequenced you get that information back
01:56
sequenced you get that information back like what do you do with that like we
01:57
like what do you do with that like we
01:58
like what do you do with that like we don't have like a good answer for what
01:59
don't have like a good answer for what
01:59
don't have like a good answer for what to do next even though we know it's so
02:01
to do next even though we know it's so
02:01
to do next even though we know it's so important and so central to our health
02:02
important and so central to our health
02:02
important and so central to our health and so honestly the answer I give is
02:04
and so honestly the answer I give is
02:04
and so honestly the answer I give is like just eat more fiber like you're
02:06
like just eat more fiber like you're
02:06
like just eat more fiber like you're almost assuredly not getting enough
02:07
almost assuredly not getting enough
02:07
almost assuredly not getting enough fiber 95% of Americans don't get enough
