It's like everybody is telling me you're supposed to rest, nourish, move, and be successful.

I'm all these things, and yet the juice of life seems missing.

I rolled over a half wall in indoor soccer, and instead of crushing my ribs, breaking my ribs or rupturing my spleen, I split

my pancreas in half. How do we go from chronic lifelong health problems to you being so dialed in?

There's the biohacks. There's the shortcuts. The magic supplement, the magic pill. That will never

change. It will always be that way because that's what we want. Everybody wants to know the shiny man. What is the thing I take? What are the thing I need? I mean, why are we doing what we're doing? Why are we entrepreneurs? Why do we want to be successful in our professional career? You start playing the Y game. You'll start to get down to some layers where if you don't know, you should probably start investigating.

And that's kind of what I call the spark, the mission, the soul, the passion.

I mean, that's the real pandemic.

The juice of life is missing.

Dr. Ryan Lazarus, good to see you.

It's great to be here, my friend.

Why do people come to you and what do you do for them?

Well, I'm a functional medicine practitioner. So, you know, the most obvious thing is I have patients seek my advice and protocols to solve a pain point. Their health is compromised. And so

I, you know, identify where the issues are,

where the vulnerabilities are,

solve pain points.

And it's mostly high performers,

people who have accomplished a lot,

but something's still missing, right?

Absolutely.

Yes, that's the framework that I use.

That's the framework we'll dig into and talk about.
