Well, welcome everyone. This is Dr. Mercola helping you take control of your health and today we're going to talk a lot about a lot of interesting topics and we're joined by Dr Matthew Cook who is a former anesthesiologist in that position and has a very interesting

practice in San Jose, California, where he does some regenerative medicine techniques and we're going to talk in great detail about this because it's really very unusual clinic that most that is provides therapies that really isn't provided most anywhere else.

So welcome and thank you for joining us today.

Oh, thank you so much.

It's totally a pleasure to be here.

Yeah, so you're another person that I met at the Bulletproofer

Upgrade Labs events. I'm interested interestingly had interviews with four people

that I met at that event and you're one of the four.

I had first heard of your work through Ben Greenfield and you had done a lot of work with him

and I was impressed with some of the results that you were getting.

So I think probably is best to start,

because we really didn't get into details of what you're doing,

but one of the work pieces that you're doing is

with NAD, which is my favorite biomolecules. So why don't you tell us your story briefly so we can understand

why how you wound up where you are and then practicing and practicing type of medicine that you are now.

Okay, so I went to medical school

and did an anesthesiology residency at UCSF

and was in MuscoSola Medicine doing anesthesia and I was doing regional anesthesia so I was basically

doing nerve blocks all day, every day, and looking with an ultrasound, finding nerves and then putting those nerves to sleep, and then after I did that, doing sedation for surgeries.

And so I figured out basically how to do almost every surgery

from total knee replacement to shoulder surgery without having to do general

anesthesia and then I sort of evolved into finding out
