Kwadwo KyeremantengHostAnyways, listen, just got back from the New Brunswick Medical Society Summit, and I can't tell you how reinvigorating it was to see a group of physicians that were excited and dedicated to transforming healthcare.
I got to speak to many docs, got to speak briefly with the prime-- uh, with the premier, Premier Holt.
Uh, ultimately, what was exciting was that many physicians are, are reluctant for, for change, I find.
And what I found exciting was-People recognizing the need for a different approach to health, and they're also open to people with different perspectives.
We had a cardiologist that had a private clinic on longevity, and they had me there talking about imp- the importance of preventative health and wellness, and I don't know, just gave me some, some, some optimism about, like, we can actually move forward in the profession.
This is something that we collectively, not only is the, the population keen on moving the needle, but the, the medical community, at least the, the one that I saw in New Brunswick, was keen on it.
And so, I mean, actions always speak louder than words, and we'll see how things materialize, but man, was that a refreshing a- approach.

But the question is, and we'll continue to have these discussions, how do we make...
How do we democratize this? How do we make sure everybody and their mother has access to preventative health measures? And I know we're doing this at MindStride with trying to, trying to at least get people assessed and get, get them on the right path.
Um, we'll have a link below in the show notes, but, uh, to me it's a start.
And I know this is repetitive for a lot of y'all, but this idea of just let's do everything in our power to make it a cultural shift.
Let's make it a cultural shift where we're thinking about preventative and focusing on it.
'Cause if you think about it, what we could do at scale if we're really serious about it, having more walkable cities, having a more, uh, more play structures, having more exercise g- gyms outdoors, like we see in, in Europe and other places.
