Hey folks, Ben Greenfield here and Dr. Ryan Bentley is with me. Dr. Ryan Bentley is a doctor of chiropractic, but his knowledge is enormous when it comes to anatomy, physiology, and biochemistry.

0:15.0

He has worked with professional and Olympic athletes. He has worked as a team physician with Indiana University's track and field team, and I've spoken with him a few times and found his knowledge of biochemistry to be very massive.

0:31.0

The way that I discovered Dr. Ryan Bentley is at a conference speaking with another chiropractic physician who is talking about how he evaluates his patients, what he looks for.

0:43.0

And what type of biochemical markers he looks for to identify whether or not someone is actually functioning the way they should, and I asked him what kind of system he used, and he said, well, you need to talk to the guy who basically invented the system I used, and there was everything there was to know about it, this Dr. Ryan Bentley.

1:00.0

So I got Dr. Ryan Bentley on a call, and he is here with us today, and we're going to talk about your biochemistry and what kind of things to look for that can affect your performance, your health, and your longevity. Dr. Bentley, thanks for coming on the call today.

1:18.0

Now, first of all, you have me on, and I think it's great that you get great content out to all your listeners out there, because I think it's important that people have knowledge.

1:27.0

And it's taking that knowledge and putting into action, which also will change our culture as we have the current culture that we have today.

1:34.0

So I commend you for taking the time and making the efforts to go out and help educate and give information to everywhere from typical athletes to people that are chronically ill,

1:45.0

to professional athletes and helping them gain better health. So I appreciate your time that you do whatever you put into that.

1:52.0

Thanks. That's great to hear.

1:55.0

You have sent me a list of things that you kind of look for when you're looking at someone and where they're at biochemically.

2:05.0

So it looks like we've got a lot to go through today. So let's dig right in. And why don't you tell me a little bit about what it is that you do and how you came to know what you know.

2:15.0

And then let's talk from the perspective of a patient walking into your office or wherever you want to approach it and what you look for.

2:24.0

Okay. Well, the first thing I got started in this was my wife and I had two children that didn't quite make it. And that didn't quite. They didn't make it during the pregnancy.

2:34.0

You lost our first one in the second trimester and our second baby. We lost in the first trimester.

2:39.0

And you know, it's kind of heartbreaking, heart-wrenching type things that went on and we wanted some of the top fertility specialists to try to get answers.

2:46.0

And everything was cookie cutter. Everybody was, well, you need to do this. You need to do that. One doctor, the top fertility specialist at a very highly regarded medical university told us that she had a problem regulating.

2:59.0

And I said, we've been pregnant twice. How do you think she's having a problem regulating? And he just really wanted to push her through like a cow through the herd and, you know, do what is protocols.

3:11.0

And so that led me to search and try to understand her physiology and what was truly going on. And it led to a number of things that helped me understand physiology.

3:22.0

Because the reality is everybody believes that we are genetically programmed to become ill. And that's not the reality. We are not genetically programmed to become ill.

3:31.0

So I really thought, sought out to figure out what is health. And that's where the paradigm shift is going to happen here.

3:38.0

So all your listeners, there will be a huge paradigm shift here coming across very soon with regards to what is health and understanding true health.
