They're still in January, so it's still Nason twenty twenty six and health is so important and that's our focus is going to be today. So let's welcome our. Guest, Hi, Diva, so nice to be here as well.

1:32 Lovely to have you so Christy. Do you recall a moment or a person that left a positive mark on you when you were a child or when you were a. Young girl, you know, I I do. You know, I think that there were a few in my life and when I was younger. But you know, one of my biggest passions, I've always wanted to take care of people, help people, and I really attribute that. You watching my grandmother who was a nurse. When I would visit her, I would she would take me out on her realms. You should make home visits and so I would get to see, you know, what she was doing with her patients, and you know, from a very young age and I it just kind of it resonated with me, and it's something that I always said to myself, you know, I want to be a nurse. I want to be a doctor when I grow up. And I kind of carried that that with me, you know, just through my entire childhood and growing up. I just I've always had, you know, like I've always wanted to be very compassionate right towards individuals.

2:39 I felt compassionate towards people and and and I really felt that, you know, I could do great things if I was able to help take care of them in their times of need. And so that's really what kind of drove me on my own journey, you know, through life. You know, when we start, you know, as you know, teenagers at least I did, you know, getting my first job, and you know, and so on and so forth right I was, I was really looking for jobs in the healthcare field. So I did. I worked in doctors' offices as like you know, the file clerk or you know, the back office person. Because I just really felt that, you know, I belonged in a place where there were healthcare professionals and patients and we were all to help and make change. And that really just kind of stuck with me. And that's that's, you know, been the journey that I've been on and I've had a few like bobs and weaves along the way, uh, you know, throughout that.

3:36 But but that's really stuck true to me, and I really believe that's the core of you know, what's what's driven me is really helping people be the best versions of themselves. Hmmm. So powerful. And these are the little things that we don't realize how we can impact people in our circle of influence. Your grandma took you and that stayed with you, and that defined your career. And I'm sure you know, as our audience listens to the podcast, you don't know whom you may be impacting today. So you mentioned. That you either wanted to be a nurse or a doctor, and of course it definitely was very clear how determined you are or how dedicated you are to your passion that you found doctor's office, because when you're back there, you understand the nuts and bolts of the working Yes, So how did that influence your college life and beyond?

4:37 So, I you know, I was working at a pediatrician's office and just out of high school, and so I was working there and I was kind of you know, you know, trying to move up the ladder within that doctor's office. You was like, oh, next step is I'll be an office manager and so forth. And at the same time, I just gobraduated high school and I had started college on a part time level because I needed to work full time and so forth. And so I was going to college part time. I was working at this pediatrician's office and they announced their retirement and it was a little bit devastating to me. You know, I really love them dearly. And I was like, Okay, well, what is the next step going to look like for me?

5:26 And you know, I knew that I was going to stay in the healthcare field, but what did that really mean. Well, there was an opportunity where the hospital in my city actually acquired the practice, and when they did that, they moved me over with them and made me the office manager. So I thought, oh, wow, this is wonderful. So, you know, kind of like checking my box like this is you know, kind of like my next step. And and while I was in college, I was I had applied to the nursing program, so it was a very competitive program. I was waiting to become accepted, and so I you know, just continued on my you know, everyday routine. And was really enjoying what I was doing well. One of the nurses from that pediatrician's office had reached out to me.

6:12 She thought she could get to retire herself, and she reached out to me and she shared with me that she had just started with a new company called Senagenics, and she said that they were new, they were new new company, and that they were doing really interesting medicine and approaches to healthcare, and they were growing and they were looking to kind of build their team and she would love for me to come over. She thought I would be a great asset. So I went over and I interviewed with them and actually interviewed for the receptionist position. And it was interesting because you know, they were a startup at the time, and they were like, look, you know you're going to college part time. We're not super busy just yet. You can even do your class work, you know, at your desk during the day, which you know, for some people that might have been like, yes, this is like the job for me, but for me, I actually it turned me off. I was like, oh, I'm like, well, that doesn't sound challenging enough, Like I want to challenge I want to do more and again I was, you know, the office manager at this pediatrician's office, and so I politely declined and you know, wish them well. Fast forward six months, I got a call back from them and they were starting their very first department called Patient Services Associates and essentially so think customer service, right, and they've they've grown since I last saw them, new department. Really excited.

7:43 They thought it would be a great, you know, first edition to hurt them out. I was intrigued and I thought, Okay, this is more challenging. I would love to And then I got married, I became pregnant, it had my first child, and I then got accepted into the nursing program. Like everything hit it once. And it was at a lot of des a lot of decisions, and a lot of life changing events exactly. And it was interesting because during that that you know, call it first six months that I was with the company, before i'd been accepted to the nursing program, I had this really unique opportunity to be mentored by the founder of the company. And you know, he kind of walked in the room. I'd never interacted with him before, and he kind of pointed me out. He's like you come with me, and and he brought me in and he had a we had a VIP patient that was, you know, having some challenges. He asked me for my help. He wanted, you know, me to kind of like dive in and understand what's going on. So I did work through it.

9:00 Patient was very happy. He was very impressed with, you know, just the way I managed it and navigated everything, was able to problem solve. And so he's like, you know, I'd love to be able to, you know, work with you in the future if and when it permits. I'm like, absolutely, you know, whatever I can do to be helpful. So when I was accepted into the nursing program, it came at a time where I had been pulled in by him to numerous things regarding the business, and I was so interested in it. It was it was a challenge. I liked a good challenge. And I was learning a different lens of healthcare than I had ever been exposed to before, right, I was learning the business side of healthcare.

9:41 And so, you know, I spoke with my husband, you know, I kind of contemplated with myself and you know, what do I go into the nursing program Because the intention was was, once I'm accepted, I have to go into that full time. I would need to resign from my role and get a part time job someplace. And we decided that, you know what, if this was something I was interested in, let's go ahead and see what where it leads us, right where it leads me. And so I declined going into the nursing program, and I decided to stay on at Cynogenics and just get a little bit more exposure and understanding of how business works in healthcare, especially the way that we were doing healthcare in a proactive preventive way. And the rest is history. So I, you know, I stayed with the company. I've now been with it twenty seven of its twenty nine years. I you know, the running joke was I was promoted a million times, you know, throughout the organization, you know, over the course of those years. And I never went back and finished college. I put it on pause and I just did not finish it. And and for me, I have to tell you, it was such it was a roller coaster. So it has definitely been a roller coaster, but it was such a rewarding time for me and this experience that I've been able to have to be part of a company that started out in a space that was not traditional medicine, that was you know very much, you know, kind of pushing the pushing the limits on

11:13 what is possible in healthcare and taking care of yourself. And I was able to be part of this journey, so, you know, taking the company from its one location to expanding it to now twenty seven locations you know, globally, it's been just really something that has really fulfilled me. And you know, I feel like it's very much aligned still with that original passion and drive that I had to say, I want to help people. So how can I spread the word, How can I do more? How can I drive awareness? How can I educate around what is truly possible when you take a proactive approach to your health, when you don't settle for what's normal average, you know, traditional and you've really think about what's possible in optimizing the way that you're living your life. So so you know, I moved up the ranks, you know, from that very first patient services associate. You know, I was COEO by two thousand and five, by twenty nineteen president, and then twenty twenty I was named CEO, and so I've been the CEO for the last five and a half years.

12:23 Congratulations on your journey because that's very inspiring, Christy, And so many times what happens is that women are rising, women are on boats, women are becoming CEOs, and yet somewhere in the back of a month, women may be thinking, hmmm, I'm maybe facing challenges, or they may be facing challenges in reality, or there can be some other barriers. So did you experience barriers yourself? I absolutely did. You know, It's like I said, it's it's it's it was a wonderful It's been a wonderful journey, but it definitely was was met at at different times with with challenges and barriers. You know. The reality is, you know, the corporate world and and the medical world, especially in the last thirty years, it's it's it's very much, you know, still male dominated. And so you know, I'm in a company, I'm one of very few women. You know, at the time the former founder was, you know, a male.

13:35 I'm sitting in boardrooms and going into meetings with physicians. They're all male, and I'm oftentimes like the only or one of very few females sitting in those rooms and at those tables, and you know, it has been a challenge at different points in time to really try and assert my knowledge, my experience, my leadership, to be able to express it and have it not only heard, but you know, respect it at times. Right, I can't tell you how often, you know, I would sit in a meeting and you know, I'm the one in the weeds doing you know, the day to day operations, and I have like my finger on the pulse of like maybe what it is that our patients need or what our processes need. And I'm sharing this, but because it's coming from me, it was you know oftentimes you know, overlooked or not taken as seriously. And so I found myself, you know, throughout the years really grappling with you know, how do I how do I how do I, I guess, gain that that attention, that respect, right, how do I I g get it to a place where my voices really being heard in a serious way and then we can actually start doing something about it, right and like making change what's necessary. And I have to tell you I and again, mind you, I was very young doing this.

15:07 I professionally, you know, I feel like I've grown up at Cenagenics, if you will, you know, right out of college. So and I never saw this, and like, you know, my my community of family or friends growing up myself, you know, we were kind of lower middle class, and you know, I had at this point kind of been like the quote unquote the most successful in the family, right with what I was doing. So I didn't have that mentor outside of outside of my workplace to really guide me and help me navigate these situations. So in my mind, I said, well, I just need to start mirroring who I'm seeing at the table or across from the table, right, or mirroring the founder of the company, which you know, to an extent, you know, that's good, right.

15:55 You know, I always tell my girls, you know you want to, you want to you want to have options, you want to hear all the information, you want to be able to have choices, right, And so I think that that's good to an extent. But I do think that there was a period of time where I lost myself because I became I didn't become I lost like who was Christie? Right, who really am I? And instead I was I was being the you know, founder's version of Christie or I was being the physician's version of Christie like whoever I was sitting within the room. You know, That's what I tried to displain, whether it was my posturing, my approach, my my my tone, you know, all the things.

16:39 And I was really trying to figure out, how do I, you know, how do I again navigate this. I'm very driven like, but I thought that's what I had to do to be successful in my mind. How I Yeah, you bring up such a good point when you said that, and I that from so many of my executive clients, especially women, and nowadays, you know, men are also coming out and sharing it openly with me, and they be lost, especially if they are going in a place of authenticity where they don't wanunloose themselves, where they don't want to be the version of what other people.

17:21 Like to be. That is, so, how did you find yourself and how. Did you create that space where you could navigate and create that presence so you voice could be hood. Yeah, so it took a while. It took a while. That's a key thing to remember, especially with today's instant gratification, we forget that these things take time. You have to invest in yourself to build yourself. So tell us about that journey. Yeah, you really do. So it's interesting. So when I so, you know, kind of talking about and I will answer, I'd go and answer your question, but I want to just kind of like take it back also talking about like you know, you know what, like who impacted me? Where I saw myself and I told you, oh, I want to be a nurse, I want to be a doctor. Well then I got into Senagenix and I saw the business side, and now I was advancing you know, the corporate ladder, you know, manager, director, COO, president, like that just never entered my head that that was like a next step for me. I was. And so in twenty twenty, there was an opportunity where, you know, the company had a transaction, some new investors came in, the former found the founder decided he wanted to step away and retire, and it opened up this opportunity for me to be the CEO and they selected me. They chose me to be step into that CEO role, and I was honored, blown away, shocked.

18:55 I was also terrified, if I'm being very honest, because I'm like, how do I be CEO? Oh, I'm an operator at heart? How do I do this? And so again I led, I led, and I went into that still kind of masked, right because I was not my own authentic self, and so I, I, you know, tried to read different books and listen to you know, different pod whatever it was. I was just trying to like navigate it on my own. And I had the opportunity to connect with someone who did executive coaching and somatic work, and she and I had this really great conversation and I thought, you know, maybe I should invest in myself in that regard. Maybe I should you know, go ahead and go through some executive coaching to really help me, you know, understand how I can be the best CEO possible.

19:56 I engaged with her and we worked together for two and a half almost three years, and I will tell you that was such an eye opening experience because where we started was really like back in day one, is thatenengenics right, if not before? And it was really to identify who am I? Who is the authentic Christie? What is my voice? What drives me? Not what do I think should drive me because so and so says it should drive me? Who is that? And so I worked with her and kind of navigated to kind of read like reintroduce myself to myself, if that makes any sense at all. I had to, like it, reintroduce myself to who the true Christie was, and how I wanted to show up as not only a CEO and a leader of my team, but how do I want to show up as a mom to my two girls, How do I want to show up as a wife to my husband, How do I want to show up with my family, with my community and friends. And I have to tell you it was a bit uncomfortable, like going through this and really, you know, like digging deep. But I have to say I came through that coaching and that experience truly feeling not only like a different person, but that different person I now knew who she was. I recognized her.

21:29 And I used to always say I don't know who the real Christie is or I don't want to know what I want to be when I grew up, And I was saying this in the last five years, right, this is like recent and it's because I wasn't connected to who I was authentically and having that confidence to know that, you know, what I got here because of how I showed up every single day. But imagine if I showed up in my authentic voice, my leadership, the way I want to engage with people, the way I want to leave people or influence. What if I did that instead? Imagine me that journey of like digging deep within and really being able to now express who Christy Berry is. And yes, Christy Berry holds this role of CEO, but Christy Berry is more than just that. I am defined by so much more than just my professional success or my professional title. And when I was able to acknowledge that and start living that and being proud of it and not you know, not afraid, right, not afraid to walk into my board meeting where I'm the only woman at the table and not feel like I had to, you know, kind of put on a different, you know, persona just to fit in. I was able to show

22:59 up for who I was. Everything in my life really changed and really for the better. Like I just I felt lighter, I felt more and more clarity around what I was doing. I felt more connection. You know, I had a lot of guilt, if I'm again being honest again, I had a lot of guilt over the years that you know, maybe I didn't show up enough for my kids, or I wasn't you know, as good of a partner to my husband as I should have been, and you know, all all the stuff right, and I was able to give myself grace. And when I was able to do that and really live and embody, this this feeling of okay, you now you are who you who you've always been meant to be, right, that's when it like clicked for me.

23:54 I'm like, oh my gosh, imagine how many other women or people in general, just anybody like our feeling like I can't be the only one. And that's really what has kind of pushed me to like talk about it and to share my story and to you know, encourage people to you know, not settle right. And so whether it's you're settling with your health or you're settling for your just you know, your your everyday person, how you're showing up like it is absolutely okay, and it's okay to make it a non negotiable to take care of yourself and whatever that looks like for you, so that you can show up as that best version of yourself.

24:34 Because when you can do that, then again, what you're able to do for all the people around you that you care about, love about me, to take care of, et cetera. Like it's it's just compounded in so many ways and that just drives more joy and like purpose and it's just a really beautiful place to be. So, you know, long winded answer to your question, but it was it was a journey that I didn't really you start to explore until five years ago. And then it took me and I'm still working on myself. I have not figured it out for sure, but it took it took me a solid three years of like doing some hard you know, looking in to really know how I want to show up externally.

25:18 Yeah, it's all about looking in and leaning in because it's a very unsettling place when you are leaning in, because the brain loves to be comfortable. The brain doesn't like to optimize. So I want to acknowledge you for taking that time and sharing your story because I believe that each and every one of us is a lifelong loaner. They cannot ever get there. But that's said, we're achieving those levels and then there's another frontier to cross, there's another barrier to because as you grow, your capacity grows. Yes, then you can tackle others and just that self connection and the power of self trust allows you. It's about giving yourself that permission that will allow you to scale any mountains that you want.

26:18 And you did it. So I do want to congratulate you for your journey because we are so focused as a society. Yes, the titles are great, but what about scaling your own barriers and your own fears And that takes a lot of courage and it's something to be celebrated. So kudos to you, Thank you very much, Thank you. Absolutely, Christy. So that's phenomenal that that's how you achieved your journey and are still continuing on it. So let's bring about as to what does your company do you talk about going from you know, just focusing on longevity to measurable health spend. We are bringing in quality of life, so tell us about that.

27:08 Yeah, absolutely, so you knows, as I've shared already. You know, Synagenics, we really pioneered this space back in nineteen ninety seven of longevity, right, I think that that's the buzzword today, longevity. You know, back in nineteen ninety seven ninety eight, it was anti aging. You know, it's kind of gone through its evolution of all all the things. At the end of the day, our focus is really around helping people optimize as the age and doing so by taking a very comprehensive approach and holistic approach to one's health and well being. And so our goal is that you know, the aging process is normal. Everybody's going to age. But our goal is to partner with you on that life journey because how you show up today, how your health is today, it's going to look very different next year, five years, ten years from now. And so if we can be proactive in how we think about your biology, how we think about your lifestyle, your nutrition, your exercise, and bring all of that together because everything truly is all interrelated and connected. So if we can really understand at the core how your body is functioning and be able to identify whether there are you are predisposed for disease,

28:46 we want to then partner with you to help you along that journey to either delay or reverse the onset of that disease. We want to help you continue to show up at your heat performance and maybe you haven't even experienced that yet. Maybe you've been suboptimal for a very long time. So helping you identify where your peak is and how you can truly be optimized. And you know, so everything from you know, mental clarity to you know, RESTful sleep, to optimize hormones, you know, enhance libido, you know, all all of the things that play into how you show up every day. Our goal is to extend your health span, because we're not saying you're going to live forever.

29:35 You know something, it will be your time. However, imagine taking the last ten, fifteen, even twenty years of your life and being able to still be active and doing all the things you love and so whatever is, whether it's playing with your grandchildren, it's skiing down the mountains, it's you know, hiking, it's playing golf, it's running your business, you know, well into your ninety you know, whatever it is that you get enjoyment out of and that you like to do, being able to ensure that you can stay active in those later decades, that's what health span is about. It's about not settling for maybe what you saw your parents or your grandparents' experience right in their aging process, and so how how do we do that.

30:28 So cynogenics again, we take that very comprehensive approach. So we're doing a very a very comprehensive biomarker test. So we're going to draw your blood. We're going to look at over two hundred and seventy biomarkers in your blood serum. We're then going to have you experience a day with us at one of our locations where we're going to put you through a series of diagnostic testing. We're going to look at your biometrics and so everything from your your full body composition, bone density which is incredibly important, your body fat, your lean muscle mass, your brain cognition. We do brain EEG testing. We want to look at how your your alignment is, so doing like a three D muscular skeletal alignment to understand, you know, where do you have balance issues, do you have certain challenges with you know, maybe you have an old sports injury that's still you know, giving you problems today, but you've just kind of accepted that that's what it is and it can't be changed. Well, that's not necessarily the case, and so when we go through these series of diagnostic testing to really uncover and identify how your body is functioning, we can then create programs and interventions and therapies that can really help you take where you sit today and move you into a more optimized state. So, whether that is through hormones or peptides, nutraceuticals importantly always included, you know, nutrition, exercise, lifestyle,

32:07 because at the end of the day, those are the core foundations. Right, everybody is like, what am I putting in my mouth? Am I moving? You know? How is my you know, my mental wellness? And then couple that with the clinical approach of really diving into your you know, your your glucose, your hemoglobin A one C, your cortisol, your hormones, all of your biomarkers to work together, because you really are doing yourself a disservice if you're looking at things in a singular way, right, if you're just attacking well, I have high cholesterol, So I'm just going to focus high cholesterol, and you know that's what I have to worry about. Well, No, you know, your cholesterol, you know, ties directly into your glucose, your hemoglobin A one c. It it is impacted by your cortisol levels, your hormone levels. Everything is inner connected. And so when you're able to take this very expansive look at your body and learn more about yourself than you will ever imagine.

33:10 Knowing that is where then partnering with our physicians who are experts in this space. Again, we've been doing this for over thirty years. We've got incredible patient outcomes and transformations. But taking that information and having experts to partner with and really walk with you on this journey, that's what synagenics is about. It's it's partnering with people to help them take that control of their health and keep them active and again doing all the things that they love well into their older years. So that sounds very powerful to me where I'm sitting.

33:53 It seems like it's an integrated approach. There you are saying that, Okay, one specialist and they're looking at only one aspect. You go to another specialist, they're looking at another aspect of your health, versus what you're telling me from understanding correctly that you're bringing the whole holistic approach where you're looking at people as a whole human being and the looking for the connectivity between different. Biomarkers one hundred percent accurate. That's exactly what we're doing, and that is it's interesting because you know, I you know, we hear stories all the time from from our patients where they're like, oh, well, I you know I'm healthy.

34:41 I you know I'm healthy. I work out, I you know, eat well. You know I'm just you know, feeling a bit tired, or you know, I'm uh, you know, my my, you know, I used to play soccer, but you know I don't I can't anymore. Like little things, right, but they're just like, but I'm healthy and and I'm not saying you know, we're not saying no, you're not healthy, But what we're saying is you maybe aren't optimized. But how do we know like where to start and where to look at, you know, the best places that we can start making little tweaks, because that's what it's about, right, It's about a lifestyle and to creating a habits that are sustainable. I think that's where I think society as a whole really, you know, oftentimes gets caught up in I like to call them like the sexy shiny objects out there, like the latest greatest thing. But how long can you sustain maybe that thing that you're going after, or that extreme diet or you know you're gonna you know, push yourself, you know to certain you know, uh levels during your workouts, like how sustainable is that? And so us it's about identifying everything that this inner can and how can we start tackling them one or two, maybe three things at a time that you can again start creating these healthier habits and you can start optimizing your body with maybe things that you know you've been depleted

36:14 on or are running low, or maybe they're running too high and we need to bring them down. How can we work with you so that this is something that you carried with you in again into your older years. And it's not just a fad or it's not just you know, a one year membership that you're signing up for. I mean this is really a lifestyle choice. And I think that where we sit today at Synagenics is I very much view us as a disruptor of traditional medicine in a lot of res because you know, traditional medicine and you know, you go to your doctor, you know they might run your you go for your annual, they might run you know, do some lab work. But it's a very small panel. I mean I still have not seen a GP do you know over two hundred and seventy biomarkers. Right, So they're running a very standard panel and you get your report and it says you know, average or you know or normal, right, and it says you know your range, you're within normal range. Well, that's based on a massive population of individuals that are very different from you, from me, and so that is not a personalized approach. So when we look at those same labs and we add to them all the additional biomarkers, we can get very precise and we can create this personalized look and approach to your health that is not

37:47 quote unquote normal or average based on what you know how traditional medicine defines it. It is personalized to you and it should be. That's you know, I often tell people, you know, we should all be the CEOs of our own book. We should all take back control of our help and really understand how we function and what works for us, because what works for me may not work for you and likely won't write or or vice versa. And and so that's where you know, there's a lot of noise in the space today, in the longevity space, a lot of information and I think it's a it's a great thing I love the awareness. I love that people are talking about it. But how do you make a choice on you know, what you should do? Who do you listen to? What do you follow? And I think that you know from Synagenic's perspective, you know, one of the things that you know we are most proud of is the fact that you know we are a physician led organization. We have been, always will be. We are very much focused on that personalized approach. We look at you as an individual, not as population of people.

39:01 We want to partner with you. We want to help you understand first your body and second how you think about your future, how and what we see is the potential of your future from an optimized perspective with your health, and then how do we set up a program that is going to ensure success right and you're able to achieve and experience all the greatness that is possible when you can truly live and fill your best.

39:41 Absolutely. And so what I'm hearing is that you're talking about a sustainable plan, not just like when you think like, okay, let's do this fad and get down, but a lifestyle choice looking at the overall peak performance and very much a precision medicine. So as we come to the end of our show, tell us like when you see this precision peak performance medicine going in next five to ten years. Yeah, I think that in the next five to ten years, I think that there is going to be so much more advancement and acceptance around precision medicine, around performance, health, longevity.

40:29 It is here to stay. I do believe that, you know, we're we're sitting at a really interesting point in time with all the technology that's you know, coming to be AI, the data and really being able in the next five to ten years to find out where those interface togetherether You know, I'm a firm believer that you know, nothing replaces that human to human connection, nothing REPLs that physician expertise. But being able to then layer in technology for an enablement experience, I think that that is going to be really impactful in the next five to ten years. I think that I also see a shift in traditional medicine.

41:16 And this is going to take a long time, so it definitely is not going to like solve itself in five to ten years, but I think that we are going to see more and more at least openness, maybe not yet acceptance, but openness to the approach around preventive precision medicine being like the new standard of care as a whole versus being more you know, what's the word, you know, elective? Right. I think that being able to understand how we can meet people where they're at, at whatever stage of life, that's going to grow and I think that it's going to be a beautiful thing. And I'm really excited about the future potential of where we as a society can continue to drive the mindset of being proactive, being preventive, and really wanting to optimize as we age. Yeah.

42:23 No, that's definitely powerful.
