0:00.0	Welcome to the Dr. Gabrielle Lyon Show, where I believe a healthy world is based on transparent
0:08.6	conversations.
0:14.8	Dr. Casey Means, thank you so much for coming on the show, former surgeon, physician, and truly a trailblazer.
0:22.2	Dr. Lyon, I am so thrilled to be here with you in person. This is great. We're going to have
0:26.1	an amazing conversation. You've been doing a lot of work on overall metabolic health.

1:23.7	and yet patients are getting worse. And so as I was finishing my residency and looking
1:29.2	down the barrel of like a 40-year career in health care, I had to stop and say like, what is
1:34.8	going on? Like the more we spend the sicker we're getting, the more research we're doing,
1:39.1	the sicker we're getting. The more medicine becomes hyper-specialized, the sicker we're getting.
1:43.9	So what is going on here?
