Episode notes
From Mortality Models To Wellness Clinic
- Gary left a career predicting mortality to start helping people live longer and co-founded a wellness clinic.
- He says the shift improved his energy and purpose and involved his whole family in longevity work.
Root Cause Over Symptom Management
- Modern medicine often treats symptoms, not root causes, because the system profits from disease maintenance.
- Gary argues nutrient deficiencies and physiology, not inherent pathology, drive many chronic conditions.
Do A Methylation Genetic Test
- Test methylation (genetic) once in your life to reveal conversion defects like MTHFR and guide lifelong supplementation.
- Addressing impaired homocysteine metabolism (e.g., with TMG) can normalize blood pressure and remove need for meds.
