00:01:25.159 --> 00:01:32.480
Guest, Hi, Diva, so nice to be here as well.

29
00:01:32.719 --> 00:01:36.000
Lovely to have you so Christy. Do you recall a

30
00:01:36.000 --> 00:01:39.120
moment or a person that left a positive mark on

31
00:01:39.159 --> 00:01:41.439
you when you were a child or when you were a.

32
00:01:41.359 --> 00:01:46.599
Young girl, you know, I I do. You know, I

33
00:01:46.640 --> 00:01:48.519
think that there were a few in my life and

34
00:01:48.760 --> 00:01:52.560
when I was younger. But you know, one of my

35
00:01:52.799 --> 00:01:56.200
biggest passions, I've always wanted to take care of people,

36
00:01:56.359 --> 00:02:01.280
help people, and I really attribute that. You watching my

37
00:02:01.400 --> 00:02:04.760
grandmother who was a nurse. When I would visit her,

38
00:02:05.079 --> 00:02:07.359
I would she would take me out on her realms.

39
00:02:08.439 --> 00:02:10.719
You should make home visits and so I would get

40
00:02:10.719 --> 00:02:13.360
to see, you know, what she was doing with her patients,

41
00:02:13.439 --> 00:02:15.879
and you know, from a very young age and I

42
00:02:15.879 --> 00:02:18.719
it just kind of it resonated with me, and it's

43
00:02:18.719 --> 00:02:21.199
something that I always said to myself, you know, I

44
00:02:21.759 --> 00:02:23.000
want to be a nurse. I want to be a

45
00:02:23.039 --> 00:02:26.120
doctor when I grow up. And I kind of carried

46
00:02:26.159 --> 00:02:29.360
that that with me, you know, just through my entire

47
00:02:29.599 --> 00:02:34.560
childhood and growing up. I just I've always had, you know,

48
00:02:35.879 --> 00:02:39.599
like I've always wanted to be very compassionate right towards individuals.

49
00:02:39.639 --> 00:02:43.719
I felt compassionate towards people and and and I really

50
00:02:43.759 --> 00:02:46.960
felt that, you know, I could do great things if

51
00:02:46.960 --> 00:02:49.159
I was able to help take care of them in

52
00:02:49.199 --> 00:02:52.319
their times of need. And so that's really what kind

53
00:02:52.360 --> 00:02:56.960
of drove me on my own journey, you know, through life.

54
00:02:56.960 --> 00:02:58.840
You know, when we start, you know, as you know,

55
00:02:59.039 --> 00:03:01.960
teenagers at least I did, you know, getting my first job,

56
00:03:02.199 --> 00:03:04.360
and you know, and so on and so forth right

57
00:03:05.840 --> 00:03:08.520
I was, I was really looking for jobs in the

58
00:03:08.560 --> 00:03:11.360
healthcare field. So I did. I worked in doctors' offices

59
00:03:11.400 --> 00:03:13.800
as like you know, the file clerk or you know,

60
00:03:13.840 --> 00:03:16.960
the back office person. Because I just really felt that,

61
00:03:17.560 --> 00:03:20.680
you know, I belonged in a place where there were

62
00:03:21.439 --> 00:03:24.680
healthcare professionals and patients and we were all to help

63
00:03:24.719 --> 00:03:27.840
and make change. And that really just kind of stuck

64
00:03:27.879 --> 00:03:30.439
with me. And that's that's, you know, been the journey

65
00:03:30.479 --> 00:03:32.479
that I've been on and I've had a few like

66
00:03:32.560 --> 00:03:36.400
bobs and weaves along the way, uh, you know, throughout that.

67
00:03:36.520 --> 00:03:39.159
But but that's really stuck true to me, and I

68
00:03:39.199 --> 00:03:41.560
really believe that's the core of you know, what's what's

69
00:03:41.639 --> 00:03:45.000
driven me is really helping people be the best versions

70
00:03:45.039 --> 00:03:45.680
of themselves.

71
00:03:46.400 --> 00:03:46.759
Hmmm.

72
00:03:47.000 --> 00:03:47.719
So powerful.

73
00:03:48.680 --> 00:03:51.719
And these are the little things that we don't realize

74
00:03:51.840 --> 00:03:54.639
how we can impact people in our circle of influence.

75
00:03:55.319 --> 00:03:58.000
Your grandma took you and that stayed with you, and

76
00:03:58.039 --> 00:04:01.599
that defined your career. And I'm sure you know, as

77
00:04:01.759 --> 00:04:04.639
our audience listens to the podcast, you don't know whom

78
00:04:04.879 --> 00:04:06.400
you may be impacting today.

79
00:04:07.360 --> 00:04:08.520
So you mentioned.

80
00:04:08.159 --> 00:04:11.400
That you either wanted to be a nurse or a doctor,

81
00:04:11.439 --> 00:04:16.920
and of course it definitely was very clear how determined

82
00:04:16.959 --> 00:04:21.199
you are or how dedicated you are to your passion

83
00:04:21.360 --> 00:04:26.279
that you found doctor's office, because when you're back there,

84
00:04:26.439 --> 00:04:30.600
you understand the nuts and bolts of the working Yes,

85
00:04:31.240 --> 00:04:36.240
So how did that influence your college life and beyond?

86
00:04:37.439 --> 00:04:42.600
So, I you know, I was working at a pediatrician's

87
00:04:42.600 --> 00:04:46.759
office and just out of high school, and so I

88
00:04:47.160 --> 00:04:50.240
was working there and I was kind of you know,

89
00:04:51.079 --> 00:04:54.160
you know, trying to move up the ladder within that

90
00:04:54.199 --> 00:04:56.079
doctor's office. You was like, oh, next step is I'll

91
00:04:56.079 --> 00:04:58.959
be an office manager and so forth. And at the

92
00:04:59.000 --> 00:05:01.600
same time, I just gobraduated high school and I had

93
00:05:01.639 --> 00:05:05.600
started college on a part time level because I needed

94
00:05:05.639 --> 00:05:08.759
to work full time and so forth. And so I

95
00:05:08.800 --> 00:05:12.160
was going to college part time. I was working at

96
00:05:12.160 --> 00:05:18.120
this pediatrician's office and they announced their retirement and it

97
00:05:18.160 --> 00:05:20.759
was a little bit devastating to me. You know, I

98
00:05:20.800 --> 00:05:24.519
really love them dearly. And I was like, Okay, well,

99
00:05:24.560 --> 00:05:26.720
what is the next step going to look like for me?

100
00:05:26.839 --> 00:05:28.759
And you know, I knew that I was going to

101
00:05:28.759 --> 00:05:31.279
stay in the healthcare field, but what did that really mean. Well,

102
00:05:31.319 --> 00:05:35.360
there was an opportunity where the hospital in my city

103
00:05:35.879 --> 00:05:40.120
actually acquired the practice, and when they did that, they

104
00:05:40.360 --> 00:05:44.360
moved me over with them and made me the office manager.

105
00:05:44.439 --> 00:05:47.519
So I thought, oh, wow, this is wonderful. So, you know,

106
00:05:47.600 --> 00:05:49.639
kind of like checking my box like this is you know,

107
00:05:49.720 --> 00:05:52.399
kind of like my next step. And and while I

108
00:05:52.480 --> 00:05:55.079
was in college, I was I had applied to the

109
00:05:55.160 --> 00:05:57.800
nursing program, so it was a very competitive program. I

110
00:05:57.839 --> 00:06:01.720
was waiting to become accepted, and so I you know,

111
00:06:01.839 --> 00:06:05.480
just continued on my you know, everyday routine. And was

112
00:06:05.519 --> 00:06:07.879
really enjoying what I was doing well. One of the

113
00:06:07.959 --> 00:06:11.360
nurses from that pediatrician's office had reached out to me.

114
00:06:12.040 --> 00:06:17.000
She thought she could get to retire herself, and she

115
00:06:17.120 --> 00:06:19.800
reached out to me and she shared with me that

116
00:06:20.240 --> 00:06:23.079
she had just started with a new company called Senagenics,

117
00:06:23.560 --> 00:06:26.360
and she said that they were new, they were new

118
00:06:27.000 --> 00:06:32.759
new company, and that they were doing really interesting medicine

119
00:06:32.839 --> 00:06:37.120
and approaches to healthcare, and they were growing and they

120
00:06:37.120 --> 00:06:39.120
were looking to kind of build their team and she

121
00:06:39.120 --> 00:06:40.800
would love for me to come over. She thought I

122
00:06:40.800 --> 00:06:43.680
would be a great asset. So I went over and

123
00:06:43.879 --> 00:06:49.040
I interviewed with them and actually interviewed for the receptionist position.

124
00:06:49.759 --> 00:06:52.959
And it was interesting because you know, they were a

125
00:06:53.000 --> 00:06:55.240
startup at the time, and they were like, look, you

126
00:06:55.240 --> 00:06:57.839
know you're going to college part time. We're not super

127
00:06:57.839 --> 00:07:00.800
busy just yet. You can even do your class work,

128
00:07:01.000 --> 00:07:04.439
you know, at your desk during the day, which you know,

129
00:07:04.519 --> 00:07:06.560
for some people that might have been like, yes, this

130
00:07:06.680 --> 00:07:09.360
is like the job for me, but for me, I

131
00:07:09.519 --> 00:07:12.920
actually it turned me off. I was like, oh, I'm like, well,

132
00:07:12.920 --> 00:07:15.839
that doesn't sound challenging enough, Like I want to challenge

133
00:07:15.879 --> 00:07:19.199
I want to do more and again I was, you know,

134
00:07:19.240 --> 00:07:22.439
the office manager at this pediatrician's office, and so I

135
00:07:22.519 --> 00:07:26.319
politely declined and you know, wish them well. Fast forward

136
00:07:26.360 --> 00:07:28.600
six months, I got a call back from them and

137
00:07:28.639 --> 00:07:33.199
they were starting their very first department called Patient Services

138
00:07:33.279 --> 00:07:38.600
Associates and essentially so think customer service, right, and they've

139
00:07:38.639 --> 00:07:43.560
they've grown since I last saw them, new department. Really excited.

140
00:07:43.560 --> 00:07:45.560
They thought it would be a great, you know, first

141
00:07:45.720 --> 00:07:52.399
edition to hurt them out. I was intrigued and I thought, Okay,

142
00:07:52.439 --> 00:08:04.040
this is more challenging. I would love to And then

143
00:08:04.600 --> 00:08:10.680
I got married, I became pregnant, it had my first child,

144
00:08:11.319 --> 00:08:14.439
and I then got accepted into the nursing program. Like

145
00:08:14.560 --> 00:08:15.920
everything hit it once.

146
00:08:15.839 --> 00:08:19.040
And it was at a lot of des a lot

147
00:08:19.079 --> 00:08:22.240
of decisions, and a lot of life changing events exactly.

148
00:08:23.199 --> 00:08:26.759
And it was interesting because during that that you know,

149
00:08:26.839 --> 00:08:29.279
call it first six months that I was with the company,

150
00:08:30.560 --> 00:08:32.960
before i'd been accepted to the nursing program, I had

151
00:08:32.960 --> 00:08:37.559
this really unique opportunity to be mentored by the founder

152
00:08:37.720 --> 00:08:40.600
of the company. And you know, he kind of walked

153
00:08:40.639 --> 00:08:43.080
in the room. I'd never interacted with him before, and

154
00:08:43.120 --> 00:08:45.399
he kind of pointed me out. He's like you come

155
00:08:45.440 --> 00:08:49.559
with me, and and he brought me in and he

156
00:08:49.840 --> 00:08:52.600
had a we had a VIP patient that was, you know,

157
00:08:52.639 --> 00:08:55.919
having some challenges. He asked me for my help. He wanted,

158
00:08:55.960 --> 00:08:57.159
you know, me to kind of like dive in and

159
00:08:57.240 --> 00:09:00.120
understand what's going on. So I did work through it.

160
00:09:00.360 --> 00:09:04.559
Patient was very happy. He was very impressed with, you know,

161
00:09:04.639 --> 00:09:06.919
just the way I managed it and navigated everything, was

162
00:09:06.960 --> 00:09:09.799
able to problem solve. And so he's like, you know,

163
00:09:09.840 --> 00:09:11.519
I'd love to be able to, you know, work with

164
00:09:11.559 --> 00:09:14.279
you in the future if and when it permits. I'm like, absolutely,

165
00:09:14.320 --> 00:09:16.600
you know, whatever I can do to be helpful. So

166
00:09:17.000 --> 00:09:19.759
when I was accepted into the nursing program, it came

167
00:09:19.799 --> 00:09:22.120
at a time where I had been pulled in by

168
00:09:22.240 --> 00:09:26.840
him to numerous things regarding the business, and I was

169
00:09:26.960 --> 00:09:29.840
so interested in it. It was it was a challenge.

170
00:09:29.919 --> 00:09:33.519
I liked a good challenge. And I was learning a

171
00:09:33.559 --> 00:09:37.240
different lens of healthcare than I had ever been exposed

172
00:09:37.279 --> 00:09:40.279
to before, right, I was learning the business side of healthcare.

173
00:09:41.120 --> 00:09:44.200
And so, you know, I spoke with my husband, you know,

174
00:09:44.240 --> 00:09:47.039
I kind of contemplated with myself and you know, what

175
00:09:47.279 --> 00:09:49.440
do I go into the nursing program Because the intention

176
00:09:49.639 --> 00:09:51.399
was was, once I'm accepted, I have to go into

177
00:09:51.440 --> 00:09:53.600
that full time. I would need to resign from my

178
00:09:53.720 --> 00:09:57.320
role and get a part time job someplace. And we

179
00:09:57.440 --> 00:10:00.840
decided that, you know what, if this was something I

180
00:10:00.879 --> 00:10:04.080
was interested in, let's go ahead and see what where

181
00:10:04.080 --> 00:10:07.120
it leads us, right where it leads me. And so

182
00:10:07.600 --> 00:10:11.559
I declined going into the nursing program, and I decided

183
00:10:11.600 --> 00:10:13.759
to stay on at Cynogenics and just get a little

184
00:10:13.799 --> 00:10:18.279
bit more exposure and understanding of how business works in healthcare,

185
00:10:18.399 --> 00:10:20.360
especially the way that we were doing healthcare in a

186
00:10:20.399 --> 00:10:26.080
proactive preventive way. And the rest is history. So I,

187
00:10:26.639 --> 00:10:29.440
you know, I stayed with the company. I've now been

188
00:10:29.480 --> 00:10:33.720
with it twenty seven of its twenty nine years. I

189
00:10:34.320 --> 00:10:36.240
you know, the running joke was I was promoted a

190
00:10:36.240 --> 00:10:39.080
million times, you know, throughout the organization, you know, over

191
00:10:39.080 --> 00:10:41.759
the course of those years. And I never went back

192
00:10:41.799 --> 00:10:43.840
and finished college. I put it on pause and I

193
00:10:44.159 --> 00:10:47.799
just did not finish it. And and for me, I

194
00:10:47.919 --> 00:10:51.279
have to tell you, it was such it was a

195
00:10:51.360 --> 00:10:53.559
roller coaster. So it has definitely been a roller coaster,

196
00:10:53.600 --> 00:10:56.559
but it was such a rewarding time for me and

197
00:10:56.600 --> 00:10:59.840
this experience that I've been able to have to be

198
00:11:00.120 --> 00:11:03.519
part of a company that started out in a space

199
00:11:03.639 --> 00:11:08.279
that was not traditional medicine, that was you know very much,

200
00:11:08.639 --> 00:11:13.360
you know, kind of pushing the pushing the limits on

201
00:11:13.440 --> 00:11:17.200
what is possible in healthcare and taking care of yourself.

202
00:11:17.559 --> 00:11:19.799
And I was able to be part of this journey, so,

203
00:11:20.000 --> 00:11:22.440
you know, taking the company from its one location to

204
00:11:22.840 --> 00:11:26.519
expanding it to now twenty seven locations you know, globally,

205
00:11:27.519 --> 00:11:33.200
it's been just really something that has really fulfilled me.

206
00:11:33.519 --> 00:11:36.799
And you know, I feel like it's very much aligned

207
00:11:36.919 --> 00:11:41.559
still with that original passion and drive that I had

208
00:11:41.600 --> 00:11:43.840
to say, I want to help people. So how can

209
00:11:43.879 --> 00:11:46.159
I spread the word, How can I do more? How

210
00:11:46.159 --> 00:11:49.320
can I drive awareness? How can I educate around what

211
00:11:49.480 --> 00:11:53.720
is truly possible when you take a proactive approach to

212
00:11:53.799 --> 00:11:58.320
your health, when you don't settle for what's normal average,

213
00:11:58.759 --> 00:12:02.159
you know, traditional and you've really think about what's possible

214
00:12:02.320 --> 00:12:06.159
in optimizing the way that you're living your life. So

215
00:12:06.159 --> 00:12:08.080
so you know, I moved up the ranks, you know,

216
00:12:08.200 --> 00:12:12.559
from that very first patient services associate. You know, I

217
00:12:12.639 --> 00:12:17.320
was COEO by two thousand and five, by twenty nineteen president,

218
00:12:17.480 --> 00:12:19.919
and then twenty twenty I was named CEO, and so

219
00:12:20.039 --> 00:12:21.559
I've been the CEO for the last five and a

220
00:12:21.600 --> 00:12:22.159
half years.

221
00:12:23.240 --> 00:12:28.399
Congratulations on your journey because that's very inspiring, Christy, And

222
00:12:28.480 --> 00:12:33.039
so many times what happens is that women are rising,

223
00:12:33.120 --> 00:12:37.519
women are on boats, women are becoming CEOs, and yet

224
00:12:37.639 --> 00:12:43.639
somewhere in the back of a month, women may be thinking, hmmm,

225
00:12:44.000 --> 00:12:49.159
I'm maybe facing challenges, or they may be facing challenges

226
00:12:49.200 --> 00:12:53.120
in reality, or there can be some other barriers. So

227
00:12:53.320 --> 00:12:55.480
did you experience barriers yourself?

228
00:12:57.000 --> 00:13:02.120
I absolutely did. You know, It's like I said, it's

229
00:13:02.120 --> 00:13:05.600
it's it's it was a wonderful It's been a wonderful journey,

230
00:13:05.600 --> 00:13:09.200
but it definitely was was met at at different times

231
00:13:09.240 --> 00:13:14.639
with with challenges and barriers. You know. The reality is,

232
00:13:15.960 --> 00:13:20.720
you know, the corporate world and and the medical world,

233
00:13:21.399 --> 00:13:25.519
especially in the last thirty years, it's it's it's very much,

234
00:13:25.679 --> 00:13:29.200
you know, still male dominated. And so you know, I'm

235
00:13:29.240 --> 00:13:32.240
in a company, I'm one of very few women. You know,

236
00:13:32.320 --> 00:13:35.039
at the time the former founder was, you know, a male.

237
00:13:35.879 --> 00:13:39.120
I'm sitting in boardrooms and going into meetings with physicians.

238
00:13:39.120 --> 00:13:42.240
They're all male, and I'm oftentimes like the only or

239
00:13:42.279 --> 00:13:45.799
one of very few females sitting in those rooms and

240
00:13:45.840 --> 00:13:49.600
at those tables, and you know, it has been a

241
00:13:49.720 --> 00:13:54.960
challenge at different points in time to really try and

242
00:13:57.159 --> 00:14:04.840
assert my knowledge, my experience, my leadership, to be able

243
00:14:04.879 --> 00:14:07.960
to express it and have it not only heard, but

244
00:14:08.200 --> 00:14:11.480
you know, respect it at times. Right, I can't tell

245
00:14:11.519 --> 00:14:13.200
you how often, you know, I would sit in a

246
00:14:13.240 --> 00:14:16.080
meeting and you know, I'm the one in the weeds

247
00:14:16.200 --> 00:14:20.519
doing you know, the day to day operations, and I

248
00:14:20.639 --> 00:14:23.120
have like my finger on the pulse of like maybe

249
00:14:23.120 --> 00:14:24.639
what it is that our patients need or what our

250
00:14:24.679 --> 00:14:28.039
processes need. And I'm sharing this, but because it's coming

251
00:14:28.440 --> 00:14:31.480
from me, it was you know oftentimes you know, overlooked

252
00:14:31.600 --> 00:14:36.360
or not taken as seriously. And so I found myself,

253
00:14:36.519 --> 00:14:40.279
you know, throughout the years really grappling with you know,

254
00:14:40.320 --> 00:14:44.320
how do I how do I how do I, I guess,

255
00:14:44.360 --> 00:14:48.759
gain that that attention, that respect, right, how do I

256
00:14:48.759 --> 00:14:51.799
I g get it to a place where my voices

257
00:14:51.960 --> 00:14:54.639
really being heard in a serious way and then we

258
00:14:54.639 --> 00:14:57.200
can actually start doing something about it, right and like

259
00:14:57.279 --> 00:15:02.559
making change what's necessary. And I have to tell you

260
00:15:03.440 --> 00:15:07.120
I and again, mind you, I was very young doing this.

261
00:15:07.200 --> 00:15:09.919
I professionally, you know, I feel like I've grown up

262
00:15:09.960 --> 00:15:12.440
at Cenagenics, if you will, you know, right out of college.

263
00:15:13.320 --> 00:15:16.720
So and I never saw this, and like, you know,

264
00:15:16.879 --> 00:15:21.360
my my community of family or friends growing up myself,

265
00:15:21.399 --> 00:15:23.519
you know, we were kind of lower middle class, and

266
00:15:24.000 --> 00:15:26.759
you know, I had at this point kind of been

267
00:15:26.840 --> 00:15:29.360
like the quote unquote the most successful in the family,

268
00:15:29.600 --> 00:15:31.799
right with what I was doing. So I didn't have

269
00:15:31.879 --> 00:15:37.360
that mentor outside of outside of my workplace to really

270
00:15:37.399 --> 00:15:41.879
guide me and help me navigate these situations. So in

271
00:15:41.919 --> 00:15:45.000
my mind, I said, well, I just need to start

272
00:15:45.039 --> 00:15:48.519
mirroring who I'm seeing at the table or across from

273
00:15:48.519 --> 00:15:51.240
the table, right, or mirroring the founder of the company,

274
00:15:52.240 --> 00:15:55.679
which you know, to an extent, you know, that's good, right.

275
00:15:55.759 --> 00:15:58.159
You know, I always tell my girls, you know you

276
00:15:58.200 --> 00:16:01.000
want to, you want to you want to have options,

277
00:16:01.240 --> 00:16:03.639
you want to hear all the information, you want to

278
00:16:03.639 --> 00:16:06.879
be able to have choices, right, And so I think

279
00:16:06.879 --> 00:16:10.320
that that's good to an extent. But I do think

280
00:16:10.360 --> 00:16:13.240
that there was a period of time where I lost

281
00:16:13.320 --> 00:16:17.399
myself because I became I didn't become I lost like

282
00:16:17.799 --> 00:16:21.279
who was Christie? Right, who really am I? And instead

283
00:16:21.279 --> 00:16:24.919
I was I was being the you know, founder's version

284
00:16:24.960 --> 00:16:28.039
of Christie or I was being the physician's version of

285
00:16:28.120 --> 00:16:31.279
Christie like whoever I was sitting within the room. You know,

286
00:16:31.360 --> 00:16:34.279
That's what I tried to displain, whether it was my posturing,

287
00:16:34.360 --> 00:16:39.080
my approach, my my my tone, you know, all the things.

288
00:16:39.600 --> 00:16:42.080
And I was really trying to figure out, how do I,

289
00:16:43.480 --> 00:16:46.799
you know, how do I again navigate this. I'm very

290
00:16:46.879 --> 00:16:52.039
driven like, but I thought that's what I had to

291
00:16:52.080 --> 00:16:54.720
do to be successful in my mind.

292
00:16:54.519 --> 00:16:58.120
How I Yeah, you bring up such a good point

293
00:16:58.240 --> 00:17:01.039
when you said that, and I that from so many

294
00:17:01.039 --> 00:17:06.039
of my executive clients, especially women, and nowadays, you know,

295
00:17:06.079 --> 00:17:09.240
men are also coming out and sharing it openly with me,

296
00:17:09.720 --> 00:17:14.079
and they be lost, especially if they are going in

297
00:17:14.160 --> 00:17:17.400
a place of authenticity where they don't wanunloose themselves, where

298
00:17:17.400 --> 00:17:21.160
they don't want to be the version of what other people.

299
00:17:21.079 --> 00:17:26.039
Like to be. That is, so, how did you find

300
00:17:26.079 --> 00:17:27.720
yourself and how.

301
00:17:27.400 --> 00:17:32.240
Did you create that space where you could navigate and

302
00:17:32.279 --> 00:17:34.400
create that presence so you voice could be hood.

303
00:17:34.839 --> 00:17:38.599
Yeah, so it took a while. It took a while.

304
00:17:39.720 --> 00:17:44.920
That's a key thing to remember, especially with today's instant gratification,

305
00:17:45.119 --> 00:17:48.680
we forget that these things take time. You have to

306
00:17:48.720 --> 00:17:50.720
invest in yourself to build yourself.

307
00:17:51.000 --> 00:17:53.599
So tell us about that journey. Yeah, you really do.

308
00:17:54.400 --> 00:17:59.440
So it's interesting. So when I so, you know, kind

309
00:17:59.440 --> 00:18:01.480
of talking about and I will answer, I'd go and

310
00:18:01.480 --> 00:18:02.920
answer your question, but I want to just kind of

311
00:18:02.960 --> 00:18:05.440
like take it back also talking about like you know,

312
00:18:06.039 --> 00:18:08.400
you know what, like who impacted me? Where I saw

313
00:18:08.440 --> 00:18:09.759
myself and I told you, oh, I want to be

314
00:18:09.799 --> 00:18:11.880
a nurse, I want to be a doctor. Well then

315
00:18:11.920 --> 00:18:14.599
I got into Senagenix and I saw the business side,

316
00:18:14.599 --> 00:18:17.440
and now I was advancing you know, the corporate ladder,

317
00:18:17.480 --> 00:18:24.200
you know, manager, director, COO, president, like that just never

318
00:18:24.519 --> 00:18:27.160
entered my head that that was like a next step

319
00:18:27.160 --> 00:18:33.200
for me. I was. And so in twenty twenty, there

320
00:18:33.240 --> 00:18:37.880
was an opportunity where, you know, the company had a transaction,

321
00:18:38.640 --> 00:18:42.400
some new investors came in, the former found the founder

322
00:18:42.480 --> 00:18:45.119
decided he wanted to step away and retire, and it

323
00:18:45.240 --> 00:18:47.920
opened up this opportunity for me to be the CEO

324
00:18:47.960 --> 00:18:50.279
and they selected me. They chose me to be step

325
00:18:50.279 --> 00:18:54.880
into that CEO role, and I was honored, blown away, shocked.

326
00:18:55.759 --> 00:18:58.400
I was also terrified, if I'm being very honest, because

327
00:18:58.440 --> 00:19:01.160
I'm like, how do I be CEO? Oh, I'm an

328
00:19:01.200 --> 00:19:03.920
operator at heart? How do I do this? And so

329
00:19:04.039 --> 00:19:07.279
again I led, I led, and I went into that

330
00:19:08.240 --> 00:19:12.119
still kind of masked, right because I was not my

331
00:19:12.200 --> 00:19:17.799
own authentic self, and so I, I, you know, tried

332
00:19:17.839 --> 00:19:21.079
to read different books and listen to you know, different

333
00:19:21.119 --> 00:19:23.160
pod whatever it was. I was just trying to like

334
00:19:23.559 --> 00:19:27.640
navigate it on my own. And I had the opportunity

335
00:19:27.799 --> 00:19:32.920
to connect with someone who did executive coaching and somatic work,

336
00:19:33.640 --> 00:19:39.839
and she and I had this really great conversation and

337
00:19:40.279 --> 00:19:43.599
I thought, you know, maybe I should invest in myself

338
00:19:43.759 --> 00:19:47.200
in that regard. Maybe I should you know, go ahead

339
00:19:47.240 --> 00:19:50.920
and go through some executive coaching to really help me,

340
00:19:51.079 --> 00:19:54.359
you know, understand how I can be the best CEO possible.

341
00:19:56.240 --> 00:20:00.720
I engaged with her and we worked together for two

342
00:20:00.799 --> 00:20:03.079
and a half almost three years, and I will tell

343
00:20:03.119 --> 00:20:11.480
you that was such an eye opening experience because where

344
00:20:11.519 --> 00:20:15.680
we started was really like back in day one, is

345
00:20:15.720 --> 00:20:18.759
thatenengenics right, if not before? And it was really to

346
00:20:18.880 --> 00:20:22.720
identify who am I? Who is the authentic Christie? What

347
00:20:22.880 --> 00:20:27.200
is my voice? What drives me? Not what do I

348
00:20:27.279 --> 00:20:29.839
think should drive me because so and so says it

349
00:20:29.839 --> 00:20:33.119
should drive me? Who is that? And so I worked

350
00:20:33.200 --> 00:20:36.759
with her and kind of navigated to kind of read

351
00:20:37.240 --> 00:20:42.119
like reintroduce myself to myself, if that makes any sense

352
00:20:42.160 --> 00:20:45.960
at all. I had to, like it, reintroduce myself to

353
00:20:47.240 --> 00:20:50.599
who the true Christie was, and how I wanted to

354
00:20:50.640 --> 00:20:54.920
show up as not only a CEO and a leader

355
00:20:54.960 --> 00:20:56.599
of my team, but how do I want to show

356
00:20:56.680 --> 00:20:59.279
up as a mom to my two girls, How do

357
00:20:59.319 --> 00:21:00.720
I want to show up as a wife to my husband,

358
00:21:00.759 --> 00:21:02.160
How do I want to show up with my family,

359
00:21:02.200 --> 00:21:05.960
with my community and friends. And I have to tell

360
00:21:06.000 --> 00:21:08.519
you it was a bit uncomfortable, like going through this

361
00:21:08.640 --> 00:21:13.440
and really, you know, like digging deep. But I have

362
00:21:13.599 --> 00:21:19.880
to say I came through that coaching and that experience

363
00:21:20.920 --> 00:21:25.200
truly feeling not only like a different person, but that

364
00:21:25.279 --> 00:21:28.319
different person I now knew who she was. I recognized her.

365
00:21:29.200 --> 00:21:32.200
And I used to always say I don't know who

366
00:21:32.200 --> 00:21:34.160
the real Christie is or I don't want to know

367
00:21:34.160 --> 00:21:35.359
what I want to be when I grew up, And

368
00:21:35.359 --> 00:21:37.079
I was saying this in the last five years, right,

369
00:21:37.200 --> 00:21:42.039
this is like recent and it's because I wasn't connected

370
00:21:42.079 --> 00:21:47.119
to who I was authentically and having that confidence to

371
00:21:47.279 --> 00:21:51.640
know that, you know, what I got here because of

372
00:21:51.720 --> 00:21:56.599
how I showed up every single day. But imagine if

373
00:21:56.680 --> 00:22:01.359
I showed up in my authentic voice, my leadership, the

374
00:22:01.400 --> 00:22:03.839
way I want to engage with people, the way I

375
00:22:03.880 --> 00:22:07.799
want to leave people or influence. What if I did

376
00:22:07.920 --> 00:22:16.960
that instead? Imagine me that journey of like digging deep

377
00:22:17.039 --> 00:22:23.640
within and really being able to now express who Christy

378
00:22:23.680 --> 00:22:28.160
Berry is. And yes, Christy Berry holds this role of CEO,

379
00:22:28.559 --> 00:22:30.920
but Christy Berry is more than just that. I am

380
00:22:30.960 --> 00:22:35.599
defined by so much more than just my professional success

381
00:22:35.680 --> 00:22:39.799
or my professional title. And when I was able to

382
00:22:39.920 --> 00:22:43.359
acknowledge that and start living that and being proud of

383
00:22:43.400 --> 00:22:46.960
it and not you know, not afraid, right, not afraid

384
00:22:46.960 --> 00:22:49.599
to walk into my board meeting where I'm the only

385
00:22:49.640 --> 00:22:52.480
woman at the table and not feel like I had to,

386
00:22:52.920 --> 00:22:55.440
you know, kind of put on a different, you know,

387
00:22:56.440 --> 00:22:59.599
persona just to fit in. I was able to show

388
00:22:59.680 --> 00:23:04.960
up for who I was. Everything in my life really

389
00:23:05.920 --> 00:23:09.039
changed and really for the better. Like I just I

390
00:23:09.319 --> 00:23:13.680
felt lighter, I felt more and more clarity around what

391
00:23:13.799 --> 00:23:18.039
I was doing. I felt more connection. You know, I

392
00:23:18.079 --> 00:23:21.119
had a lot of guilt, if I'm again being honest again,

393
00:23:21.359 --> 00:23:23.319
I had a lot of guilt over the years that

394
00:23:23.440 --> 00:23:25.519
you know, maybe I didn't show up enough for my kids,

395
00:23:25.599 --> 00:23:27.680
or I wasn't you know, as good of a partner

396
00:23:27.720 --> 00:23:29.440
to my husband as I should have been, and you know,

397
00:23:29.599 --> 00:23:33.119
all all the stuff right, and I was able to

398
00:23:35.119 --> 00:23:39.200
give myself grace. And when I was able to do

399
00:23:39.240 --> 00:23:44.759
that and really live and embody, this this feeling of okay,

400
00:23:44.880 --> 00:23:48.920
you now you are who you who you've always been

401
00:23:48.960 --> 00:23:53.960
meant to be, right, that's when it like clicked for me.

402
00:23:54.000 --> 00:23:57.799
I'm like, oh my gosh, imagine how many other women

403
00:23:58.240 --> 00:24:01.519
or people in general, just anybody like our feeling like

404
00:24:01.599 --> 00:24:05.079
I can't be the only one. And that's really what

405
00:24:05.240 --> 00:24:08.200
has kind of pushed me to like talk about it

406
00:24:08.440 --> 00:24:13.200
and to share my story and to you know, encourage

407
00:24:13.240 --> 00:24:17.200
people to you know, not settle right. And so whether

408
00:24:17.200 --> 00:24:19.279
it's you're settling with your health or you're settling for

409
00:24:19.359 --> 00:24:22.759
your just you know, your your everyday person, how you're

410
00:24:22.799 --> 00:24:26.200
showing up like it is absolutely okay, and it's okay

411
00:24:26.200 --> 00:24:28.279
to make it a non negotiable to take care of

412
00:24:28.319 --> 00:24:31.519
yourself and whatever that looks like for you, so that

413
00:24:31.599 --> 00:24:34.599
you can show up as that best version of yourself.

414
00:24:34.640 --> 00:24:38.559
Because when you can do that, then again, what you're

415
00:24:38.599 --> 00:24:40.920
able to do for all the people around you that

416
00:24:40.960 --> 00:24:42.839
you care about, love about me, to take care of,

417
00:24:42.920 --> 00:24:46.880
et cetera. Like it's it's just compounded in so many

418
00:24:46.920 --> 00:24:50.440
ways and that just drives more joy and like purpose

419
00:24:50.720 --> 00:24:53.240
and it's just a really beautiful place to be. So,

420
00:24:54.200 --> 00:24:56.960
you know, long winded answer to your question, but it

421
00:24:57.440 --> 00:25:00.200
was it was a journey that I didn't really you

422
00:25:00.200 --> 00:25:02.480
start to explore until five years ago. And then it

423
00:25:02.519 --> 00:25:05.200
took me and I'm still working on myself. I have

424
00:25:05.319 --> 00:25:07.680
not figured it out for sure, but it took it

425
00:25:08.039 --> 00:25:10.480
took me a solid three years of like doing some

426
00:25:10.559 --> 00:25:15.839
hard you know, looking in to really know how I

427
00:25:15.839 --> 00:25:17.119
want to show up externally.

428
00:25:18.160 --> 00:25:21.920
Yeah, it's all about looking in and leaning in because

429
00:25:22.680 --> 00:25:27.480
it's a very unsettling place when you are leaning in,

430
00:25:28.079 --> 00:25:31.680
because the brain loves to be comfortable. The brain doesn't

431
00:25:31.799 --> 00:25:35.400
like to optimize. So I want to acknowledge you for

432
00:25:35.640 --> 00:25:43.359
taking that time and sharing your story because I believe

433
00:25:43.759 --> 00:25:46.319
that each and every one of us is a lifelong loaner.

434
00:25:46.640 --> 00:25:51.359
They cannot ever get there. But that's said, we're achieving

435
00:25:51.400 --> 00:25:55.400
those levels and then there's another frontier to cross, there's

436
00:25:55.480 --> 00:26:00.079
another barrier to because as you grow, your capacity grows. Yes,

437
00:26:00.240 --> 00:26:04.160
then you can tackle others and just that self connection

438
00:26:05.160 --> 00:26:10.279
and the power of self trust allows you. It's about

439
00:26:10.319 --> 00:26:14.519
giving yourself that permission that will allow you to scale

440
00:26:16.640 --> 00:26:18.160
any mountains that you want.

441
00:26:18.240 --> 00:26:18.920
And you did it.

442
00:26:19.240 --> 00:26:23.759
So I do want to congratulate you for your journey

443
00:26:23.880 --> 00:26:28.319
because we are so focused as a society. Yes, the

444
00:26:28.400 --> 00:26:33.720
titles are great, but what about scaling your own barriers

445
00:26:34.160 --> 00:26:36.759
and your own fears And that takes a lot of

446
00:26:36.799 --> 00:26:39.079
courage and it's something to be celebrated.

447
00:26:39.599 --> 00:26:42.720
So kudos to you, Thank you very much, Thank you.

448
00:26:43.920 --> 00:26:49.960
Absolutely, Christy. So that's phenomenal that that's how you achieved

449
00:26:50.039 --> 00:26:53.359
your journey and are still continuing on it. So let's

450
00:26:53.559 --> 00:26:56.880
bring about as to what does your company do you

451
00:26:57.000 --> 00:27:02.599
talk about going from you know, just focusing on longevity

452
00:27:02.759 --> 00:27:06.119
to measurable health spend. We are bringing in quality of life,

453
00:27:06.200 --> 00:27:07.599
so tell us about that.

454
00:27:08.519 --> 00:27:13.799
Yeah, absolutely, so you knows, as I've shared already. You know, Synagenics,

455
00:27:14.559 --> 00:27:18.480
we really pioneered this space back in nineteen ninety seven

456
00:27:18.640 --> 00:27:22.279
of longevity, right, I think that that's the buzzword today, longevity.

457
00:27:22.880 --> 00:27:25.119
You know, back in nineteen ninety seven ninety eight, it

458
00:27:25.200 --> 00:27:27.359
was anti aging. You know, it's kind of gone through

459
00:27:27.400 --> 00:27:30.480
its evolution of all all the things. At the end

460
00:27:30.519 --> 00:27:35.759
of the day, our focus is really around helping people

461
00:27:35.880 --> 00:27:40.680
optimize as the age and doing so by taking a

462
00:27:40.799 --> 00:27:46.799
very comprehensive approach and holistic approach to one's health and

463
00:27:46.839 --> 00:27:51.640
well being. And so our goal is that you know,

464
00:27:53.119 --> 00:27:55.880
the aging process is normal. Everybody's going to age. But

465
00:27:56.119 --> 00:28:00.400
our goal is to partner with you on that life

466
00:28:00.480 --> 00:28:04.160
journey because how you show up today, how your health

467
00:28:04.200 --> 00:28:06.839
is today, it's going to look very different next year,

468
00:28:06.920 --> 00:28:09.920
five years, ten years from now. And so if we

469
00:28:10.240 --> 00:28:15.480
can be proactive in how we think about your biology,

470
00:28:15.559 --> 00:28:20.119
how we think about your lifestyle, your nutrition, your exercise,

471
00:28:20.200 --> 00:28:24.759
and bring all of that together because everything truly is

472
00:28:25.559 --> 00:28:30.480
all interrelated and connected. So if we can really understand

473
00:28:30.720 --> 00:28:36.559
at the core how your body is functioning and be

474
00:28:36.680 --> 00:28:45.160
able to identify whether there are you are predisposed for disease,

475
00:28:46.759 --> 00:28:50.000
we want to then partner with you to help you

476
00:28:50.440 --> 00:28:53.640
along that journey to either delay or reverse the onset

477
00:28:53.680 --> 00:28:58.440
of that disease. We want to help you continue to

478
00:28:58.480 --> 00:29:01.640
show up at your heat performance and maybe you haven't

479
00:29:01.680 --> 00:29:05.039
even experienced that yet. Maybe you've been suboptimal for a

480
00:29:05.119 --> 00:29:09.519
very long time. So helping you identify where your peak

481
00:29:09.759 --> 00:29:13.680
is and how you can truly be optimized. And you know,

482
00:29:13.920 --> 00:29:18.160
so everything from you know, mental clarity to you know,

483
00:29:18.400 --> 00:29:24.799
RESTful sleep, to optimize hormones, you know, enhance libido, you know,

484
00:29:24.960 --> 00:29:27.599
all all of the things that play into how you

485
00:29:27.640 --> 00:29:31.519
show up every day. Our goal is to extend your

486
00:29:31.559 --> 00:29:35.319
health span, because we're not saying you're going to live forever.

487
00:29:35.599 --> 00:29:41.759
You know something, it will be your time. However, imagine

488
00:29:41.839 --> 00:29:45.359
taking the last ten, fifteen, even twenty years of your

489
00:29:45.400 --> 00:29:49.680
life and being able to still be active and doing

490
00:29:49.799 --> 00:29:52.480
all the things you love and so whatever is, whether

491
00:29:52.519 --> 00:29:56.599
it's playing with your grandchildren, it's skiing down the mountains,

492
00:29:56.839 --> 00:30:01.519
it's you know, hiking, it's playing golf, it's running your business,

493
00:30:01.960 --> 00:30:05.039
you know, well into your ninety you know, whatever it

494
00:30:05.119 --> 00:30:09.240
is that you get enjoyment out of and that you

495
00:30:09.359 --> 00:30:11.799
like to do, being able to ensure that you can

496
00:30:11.839 --> 00:30:16.079
stay active in those later decades, that's what health span

497
00:30:16.319 --> 00:30:20.240
is about. It's about not settling for maybe what you

498
00:30:20.279 --> 00:30:23.799
saw your parents or your grandparents' experience right in their

499
00:30:23.880 --> 00:30:28.640
aging process, and so how how do we do that.

500
00:30:28.839 --> 00:30:33.039
So cynogenics again, we take that very comprehensive approach. So

501
00:30:33.079 --> 00:30:39.400
we're doing a very a very comprehensive biomarker test. So

502
00:30:39.400 --> 00:30:41.079
we're going to draw your blood. We're going to look

503
00:30:41.079 --> 00:30:44.279
at over two hundred and seventy biomarkers in your blood serum.

504
00:30:44.880 --> 00:30:48.319
We're then going to have you experience a day with

505
00:30:48.480 --> 00:30:50.720
us at one of our locations where we're going to

506
00:30:50.759 --> 00:30:52.960
put you through a series of diagnostic testing. We're going

507
00:30:53.000 --> 00:30:56.240
to look at your biometrics and so everything from your

508
00:30:56.519 --> 00:31:02.359
your full body composition, bone density which is incredibly important,

509
00:31:03.599 --> 00:31:07.400
your body fat, your lean muscle mass, your brain cognition.

510
00:31:07.640 --> 00:31:10.839
We do brain EEG testing. We want to look at

511
00:31:10.839 --> 00:31:15.440
how your your alignment is, so doing like a three

512
00:31:15.519 --> 00:31:18.640
D muscular skeletal alignment to understand, you know, where do

513
00:31:18.680 --> 00:31:23.599
you have balance issues, do you have certain challenges with

514
00:31:24.799 --> 00:31:27.319
you know, maybe you have an old sports injury that's

515
00:31:27.359 --> 00:31:29.640
still you know, giving you problems today, but you've just

516
00:31:29.720 --> 00:31:32.720
kind of accepted that that's what it is and it

517
00:31:32.759 --> 00:31:36.119
can't be changed. Well, that's not necessarily the case, and

518
00:31:36.200 --> 00:31:38.960
so when we go through these series of diagnostic testing

519
00:31:39.519 --> 00:31:43.240
to really uncover and identify how your body is functioning,

520
00:31:43.759 --> 00:31:49.400
we can then create programs and interventions and therapies that

521
00:31:49.559 --> 00:31:54.440
can really help you take where you sit today and

522
00:31:55.480 --> 00:31:58.400
move you into a more optimized state. So, whether that

523
00:31:58.640 --> 00:32:07.799
is through hormones or peptides, nutraceuticals importantly always included, you know, nutrition, exercise, lifestyle,

524
00:32:07.799 --> 00:32:09.119
because at the end of the day, those are the

525
00:32:09.119 --> 00:32:13.680
core foundations. Right, everybody is like, what am I putting

526
00:32:13.720 --> 00:32:16.759
in my mouth? Am I moving? You know? How is

527
00:32:16.839 --> 00:32:20.599
my you know, my mental wellness? And then couple that

528
00:32:20.880 --> 00:32:26.079
with the clinical approach of really diving into your you know,

529
00:32:26.160 --> 00:32:29.160
your your glucose, your hemoglobin A one C, your cortisol,

530
00:32:29.240 --> 00:32:35.039
your hormones, all of your biomarkers to work together, because

531
00:32:35.200 --> 00:32:38.839
you really are doing yourself a disservice if you're looking

532
00:32:38.880 --> 00:32:41.720
at things in a singular way, right, if you're just

533
00:32:41.799 --> 00:32:44.240
attacking well, I have high cholesterol, So I'm just going

534
00:32:44.279 --> 00:32:47.319
to focus high cholesterol, and you know that's what I

535
00:32:47.359 --> 00:32:50.319
have to worry about. Well, No, you know, your cholesterol,

536
00:32:50.480 --> 00:32:54.160
you know, ties directly into your glucose, your hemoglobin A

537
00:32:54.240 --> 00:32:57.960
one c. It it is impacted by your cortisol levels,

538
00:32:58.000 --> 00:33:01.640
your hormone levels. Everything is inner connected. And so when

539
00:33:01.680 --> 00:33:07.240
you're able to take this very expansive look at your

540
00:33:07.279 --> 00:33:10.880
body and learn more about yourself than you will ever imagine.

541
00:33:10.920 --> 00:33:18.200
Knowing that is where then partnering with our physicians who

542
00:33:18.279 --> 00:33:20.680
are experts in this space. Again, we've been doing this

543
00:33:20.680 --> 00:33:24.839
for over thirty years. We've got incredible patient outcomes and transformations.

544
00:33:25.680 --> 00:33:30.039
But taking that information and having experts to partner with

545
00:33:30.240 --> 00:33:34.480
and really walk with you on this journey, that's what

546
00:33:34.559 --> 00:33:39.079
synagenics is about. It's it's partnering with people to help

547
00:33:39.119 --> 00:33:43.000
them take that control of their health and keep them

548
00:33:43.200 --> 00:33:46.799
active and again doing all the things that they love

549
00:33:46.880 --> 00:33:48.359
well into their older years.

550
00:33:49.759 --> 00:33:53.000
So that sounds very powerful to me where I'm sitting.

551
00:33:53.039 --> 00:33:56.240
It seems like it's an integrated approach. There you are

552
00:33:56.279 --> 00:34:03.319
saying that, Okay, one specialist and they're looking at only

553
00:34:03.440 --> 00:34:07.119
one aspect. You go to another specialist, they're looking at

554
00:34:07.160 --> 00:34:10.679
another aspect of your health, versus what you're telling me

555
00:34:10.719 --> 00:34:14.960
from understanding correctly that you're bringing the whole holistic approach

556
00:34:15.000 --> 00:34:19.840
where you're looking at people as a whole human being

557
00:34:19.920 --> 00:34:23.239
and the looking for the connectivity between different.

558
00:34:22.920 --> 00:34:27.599
Biomarkers one hundred percent accurate. That's exactly what we're doing,

559
00:34:28.360 --> 00:34:33.760
and that is it's interesting because you know, I you know,

560
00:34:34.119 --> 00:34:36.920
we hear stories all the time from from our patients

561
00:34:36.960 --> 00:34:40.880
where they're like, oh, well, I you know I'm healthy.

562
00:34:41.679 --> 00:34:45.119
I you know I'm healthy. I work out, I you know,

563
00:34:45.800 --> 00:34:49.239
eat well. You know I'm just you know, feeling a

564
00:34:49.239 --> 00:34:53.400
bit tired, or you know, I'm uh, you know, my my,

565
00:34:53.960 --> 00:34:56.920
you know, I used to play soccer, but you know

566
00:34:56.920 --> 00:34:58.920
I don't I can't anymore. Like little things, right, but

567
00:34:58.920 --> 00:35:02.400
they're just like, but I'm healthy and and I'm not

568
00:35:02.400 --> 00:35:04.400
saying you know, we're not saying no, you're not healthy,

569
00:35:04.800 --> 00:35:09.599
But what we're saying is you maybe aren't optimized. But

570
00:35:09.800 --> 00:35:12.400
how do we know like where to start and where

571
00:35:12.440 --> 00:35:16.119
to look at, you know, the best places that we

572
00:35:16.119 --> 00:35:18.960
can start making little tweaks, because that's what it's about, right,

573
00:35:19.039 --> 00:35:24.400
It's about a lifestyle and to creating a habits that

574
00:35:24.480 --> 00:35:28.280
are sustainable. I think that's where I think society as

575
00:35:28.360 --> 00:35:33.440
a whole really, you know, oftentimes gets caught up in

576
00:35:33.960 --> 00:35:36.239
I like to call them like the sexy shiny objects

577
00:35:36.239 --> 00:35:40.199
out there, like the latest greatest thing. But how long

578
00:35:40.800 --> 00:35:43.599
can you sustain maybe that thing that you're going after,

579
00:35:43.679 --> 00:35:47.679
or that extreme diet or you know you're gonna you know,

580
00:35:48.119 --> 00:35:51.880
push yourself, you know to certain you know, uh levels

581
00:35:52.119 --> 00:35:55.519
during your workouts, like how sustainable is that? And so

582
00:35:56.000 --> 00:36:01.000
us it's about identifying everything that this inner can and

583
00:36:01.079 --> 00:36:04.199
how can we start tackling them one or two, maybe

584
00:36:04.199 --> 00:36:07.760
three things at a time that you can again start

585
00:36:07.800 --> 00:36:11.639
creating these healthier habits and you can start optimizing your

586
00:36:11.639 --> 00:36:14.880
body with maybe things that you know you've been depleted

587
00:36:14.920 --> 00:36:17.280
on or are running low, or maybe they're running too

588
00:36:17.360 --> 00:36:19.920
high and we need to bring them down. How can

589
00:36:19.960 --> 00:36:23.519
we work with you so that this is something that

590
00:36:23.840 --> 00:36:27.880
you carried with you in again into your older years.

591
00:36:28.320 --> 00:36:31.400
And it's not just a fad or it's not just

592
00:36:31.639 --> 00:36:34.000
you know, a one year membership that you're signing up for.

593
00:36:34.079 --> 00:36:37.039
I mean this is really a lifestyle choice. And I

594
00:36:37.119 --> 00:36:43.920
think that where we sit today at Synagenics is I

595
00:36:44.039 --> 00:36:46.760
very much view us as a disruptor of traditional medicine

596
00:36:46.880 --> 00:36:50.280
in a lot of res because you know, traditional medicine

597
00:36:50.280 --> 00:36:51.679
and you know, you go to your doctor, you know

598
00:36:51.679 --> 00:36:53.320
they might run your you go for your annual, they

599
00:36:53.400 --> 00:36:55.280
might run you know, do some lab work. But it's

600
00:36:55.280 --> 00:36:58.960
a very small panel. I mean I still have not

601
00:36:59.079 --> 00:37:02.199
seen a GP do you know over two hundred and

602
00:37:02.239 --> 00:37:04.840
seventy biomarkers. Right, So they're running a very standard panel

603
00:37:05.519 --> 00:37:08.119
and you get your report and it says you know,

604
00:37:09.119 --> 00:37:12.840
average or you know or normal, right, and it says

605
00:37:12.920 --> 00:37:17.159
you know your range, you're within normal range. Well, that's

606
00:37:17.280 --> 00:37:23.719
based on a massive population of individuals that are very

607
00:37:23.719 --> 00:37:30.360
different from you, from me, and so that is not

608
00:37:30.480 --> 00:37:35.400
a personalized approach. So when we look at those same

609
00:37:35.519 --> 00:37:38.360
labs and we add to them all the additional biomarkers,

610
00:37:38.719 --> 00:37:41.880
we can get very precise and we can create this

611
00:37:42.039 --> 00:37:46.559
personalized look and approach to your health that is not

612
00:37:47.360 --> 00:37:50.719
quote unquote normal or average based on what you know

613
00:37:50.840 --> 00:37:54.360
how traditional medicine defines it. It is personalized to you

614
00:37:54.679 --> 00:37:57.400
and it should be. That's you know, I often tell people,

615
00:37:57.440 --> 00:37:59.599
you know, we should all be the CEOs of our

616
00:37:59.599 --> 00:38:02.480
own book. We should all take back control of our

617
00:38:02.480 --> 00:38:09.199
help and really understand how we function and what works

618
00:38:09.199 --> 00:38:11.840
for us, because what works for me may not work

619
00:38:11.840 --> 00:38:14.920
for you and likely won't write or or vice versa.

620
00:38:15.920 --> 00:38:18.280
And and so that's where you know, there's a lot

621
00:38:18.320 --> 00:38:21.719
of noise in the space today, in the longevity space,

622
00:38:22.440 --> 00:38:25.480
a lot of information and I think it's a it's

623
00:38:25.480 --> 00:38:27.840
a great thing I love the awareness. I love that

624
00:38:27.880 --> 00:38:32.280
people are talking about it. But how do you make

625
00:38:32.360 --> 00:38:34.440
a choice on you know, what you should do? Who

626
00:38:34.480 --> 00:38:36.719
do you listen to? What do you follow? And I

627
00:38:36.760 --> 00:38:40.199
think that you know from Synagenic's perspective, you know, one

628
00:38:40.199 --> 00:38:43.320
of the things that you know we are most proud

629
00:38:43.360 --> 00:38:45.719
of is the fact that you know we are a

630
00:38:45.719 --> 00:38:50.199
physician led organization. We have been, always will be. We

631
00:38:50.280 --> 00:38:54.000
are very much focused on that personalized approach. We look

632
00:38:54.000 --> 00:38:59.800
at you as an individual, not as population of people.

633
00:39:01.039 --> 00:39:05.360
We want to partner with you. We want to help

634
00:39:05.440 --> 00:39:13.519
you understand first your body and second how you think

635
00:39:13.559 --> 00:39:17.440
about your future, how and what we see is the

636
00:39:17.480 --> 00:39:21.239
potential of your future from an optimized perspective with your health,

637
00:39:21.719 --> 00:39:26.079
and then how do we set up a program that

638
00:39:26.760 --> 00:39:31.400
is going to ensure success right and you're able to

639
00:39:31.519 --> 00:39:37.800
achieve and experience all the greatness that is possible when

640
00:39:37.840 --> 00:39:40.079
you can truly live and fill your best.

641
00:39:41.559 --> 00:39:46.360
Absolutely. And so what I'm hearing is that you're talking

642
00:39:46.400 --> 00:39:52.079
about a sustainable plan, not just like when you think like, okay,

643
00:39:52.159 --> 00:39:55.360
let's do this fad and get down, but a lifestyle

644
00:39:55.519 --> 00:39:59.679
choice looking at the overall peak performance and very much

645
00:39:59.679 --> 00:40:04.880
a precision medicine. So as we come to the end

646
00:40:04.960 --> 00:40:07.599
of our show, tell us like when you see this

647
00:40:07.920 --> 00:40:13.000
precision peak performance medicine going in next five to ten years.

648
00:40:13.599 --> 00:40:17.400
Yeah, I think that in the next five to ten years,

649
00:40:17.519 --> 00:40:21.119
I think that there is going to be so much

650
00:40:21.159 --> 00:40:28.840
more advancement and acceptance around precision medicine, around performance, health, longevity.

651
00:40:29.920 --> 00:40:33.920
It is here to stay. I do believe that, you know,

652
00:40:34.239 --> 00:40:37.679
we're we're sitting at a really interesting point in time

653
00:40:38.239 --> 00:40:41.880
with all the technology that's you know, coming to be AI,

654
00:40:42.280 --> 00:40:45.559
the data and really being able in the next five

655
00:40:45.559 --> 00:40:49.760
to ten years to find out where those interface togetherether

656
00:40:50.239 --> 00:40:52.960
You know, I'm a firm believer that you know, nothing

657
00:40:53.000 --> 00:40:57.280
replaces that human to human connection, nothing REPLs that physician expertise.

658
00:40:57.760 --> 00:41:01.400
But being able to then layer in technology for an

659
00:41:01.519 --> 00:41:05.360
enablement experience, I think that that is going to be

660
00:41:06.000 --> 00:41:09.760
really impactful in the next five to ten years. I

661
00:41:09.800 --> 00:41:16.320
think that I also see a shift in traditional medicine.

662
00:41:16.360 --> 00:41:17.679
And this is going to take a long time, so

663
00:41:17.679 --> 00:41:19.519
it definitely is not going to like solve itself in

664
00:41:19.559 --> 00:41:22.519
five to ten years, but I think that we are

665
00:41:22.559 --> 00:41:29.719
going to see more and more at least openness, maybe

666
00:41:29.760 --> 00:41:34.440
not yet acceptance, but openness to the approach around preventive

667
00:41:34.519 --> 00:41:41.480
precision medicine being like the new standard of care as

668
00:41:41.519 --> 00:41:47.800
a whole versus being more you know, what's the word,

669
00:41:49.719 --> 00:41:51.119
you know, elective?

670
00:41:51.400 --> 00:41:51.599
Right.

671
00:41:52.880 --> 00:41:56.320
I think that being able to understand how we can

672
00:41:56.320 --> 00:41:58.679
meet people where they're at, at whatever stage of life,

673
00:41:59.599 --> 00:42:02.519
that's going to grow and I think that it's going

674
00:42:02.559 --> 00:42:05.000
to be a beautiful thing. And I'm really excited about

675
00:42:05.559 --> 00:42:09.599
the future potential of where we as a society can

676
00:42:09.679 --> 00:42:18.119
continue to drive the mindset of being proactive, being preventive,

677
00:42:18.719 --> 00:42:23.039
and really wanting to optimize as we age. Yeah.

678
00:42:23.159 --> 00:42:27.920
No, that's definitely powerful. So thank you for joining us,

679
00:42:28.039 --> 00:42:30.360

You know the well first TV, I just want to

say thank you for having me on the show. For

685
00:42:50.199 --> 00:42:53.559
the audience. I guess my one thing, if I could

686
00:42:53.599 --> 00:43:01.480
just leave a parting thought, stop guessing, don't get really

687
00:43:02.079 --> 00:43:06.360
take that that that make that active choice to understand

688
00:43:08.679 --> 00:43:12.920
start with your biomarkers, really understand like how are you

689
00:43:13.000 --> 00:43:17.559
showing up every day and what are potential opportunities for

690
00:43:17.639 --> 00:43:20.320
you to show up in an even more impactful way

691
00:43:21.119 --> 00:43:25.119
to stop guessing, Like really, just understand your body because

692
00:43:25.440 --> 00:43:29.079
that's how you can start taking that control. And I

693
00:43:29.199 --> 00:43:33.360
just want to, you know, share that with everybody. So again,

694
00:43:33.400 --> 00:43:34.679
