Can we collectively get healthier?
Kwadcast nation listen up, this is a mini cast, talking about prevention and why it's so important. I want to start with a story. I ran into a good friend at hockey. Our kids play hockey together. He was telling me Hey, I love what you're doing on the podcast, love the message about getting people healthier. He told me this story about his brother, who is a type two diabetic. My buddy sent him some content on what stuff that we've covered, which we've covered, you know, intermittent fasting and reversing type two diabetes, low carb. He sent his brother this info and he felt inspired. In a matter of months, got off his diabetic medication, lost his lost a ton of weight, and reversed his metabolic syndrome through fasting and low carb.
And, you know, what I said? Yes, this is what it's all about crew. This is what it's all about empowering y'all. To be able to make the change within yourself within your own life not being dependent on medication, like if you need medication, of course, but like, like being to the point where you could take control and reverse your metabolic disease and get healthy again.
What's so great is what the magic creates in life, energy, your mood, your sleep, everything gets better, your risk of landing in hospital or ICU dramatically changes as a result of you improving your metabolic health.
So, I'm gonna say call to action. And this is a call to action for a lot of the health care providers out there. Let's put a focus on prevention. Let's put that lens on, man. Let's get people talking about ways of getting healthy to prevent them from getting ill. There is just too much focus on oh, you got a problem here's that pill, oh, you got a problem. Here's a program and just you know, giving them a pamphlet or what have you. Now, let's talk about collectively ways that we can cope.
We all can get healthier. And that's, you know, a lot of stuff that we cover on solving wellness. What do we eat? How do we move? How do we reduce our stress? How do we get that sense of community? These
are the conversations we need to have. And we need to think about innovative ways to create this and be willing to invest in it, folks. Yes. put money into this. Because I'll tell you, I'll give you an example. COVID admission you land in ICU with Covid, right? That's a $50,000 admission, that's one person. Let's think to ourselves, what would happen if we put that $50,000 and invested in the community made it more walkable. Reduce the cost of whole foods. Programs that will have subsidies for gyms, or any fitness classes. Solving wellness memberships to health care providers, creating community that's got to be the change. This healthcare crisis we're talking about we all wait huge wait times and all these, you know, health care providers that are you know, burned out and such. Put this lens on it, put the lens on prevention, getting people active, moving, talk about ways to get healthy and watch things change. It's a marathon, but I guarantee it will pay off. This is where our energy needs to be. This is where our investment needs to be. And that story, that's one dude, right? That's one dude that reverses disease. But when you see that happening amongst a family member, that's an amplifier folks. That's an amplifier. When you see loved ones, reverse their disease. You're like, I'm gonna get healthier. Let me tell you a story about my friend, Leroy Jenkins, that lost his weight. He's did low carb and he started fasting. Hey, have you tried this? Let me tell you some information or let me send you to solving healthcare where they talk about this. They got a great host.
But this is where I think we need to go, and I guarantee it's worth the investment.
All right. That's all I wanted to say on the mini cast. I want to inspire y'all. I want to inspire you all to create that change, especially to healthcare providers.
