00:00:00.240 You've been looking forward to this all week.
00:00:04.560 And with Cutwater's Cocktails, this took only seconds.
00:00:09.860 Because tonight's about catching up, not catching the server.
00:00:13.420 Whether it's our Cutwater Lime Margarita, Lemon Drop Martini, or Rum Mai Tai,
00:00:18.400 they're expertly mixed and ready before the snacks hit the table.
00:00:22.400 Cutwater, expertly mixed cocktails.
00:00:25.140 A perfect pairing for an evening with good company.
00:00:27.620 Please enjoy responsibly. Must be 19+.
00:00:30.000 America doesn't really have a health care system. We have a sick care system. We wait until people 0.99
00:00:42.340 are sick or injured or diagnosed with chronic disease and then we throw expensive treatments
00:00:49.120 and procedures and medications at the problem. Basically putting a band-aid on the symptoms as
00:00:54.820 opposed to getting to the root of what is actually the diagnosis. They're racking up on massive bills.
00:01:01.700 They're navigating incredibly confusing, intentionally confusing insurance, and they're
00:01:06.620 just like hoping for the best in this process. But what if we flip the script? What if we treated
00:01:13.680 health as an investment instead of an expense? What if we focused on keeping people truly well
00:01:21.100 and strong and thriving for decades longer, not just patching them up once they break down.
00:01:28.120 Well, Talia, thank you for joining the Riley Gaines show.
00:01:31.820 Oh, absolutely.
00:01:33.340 My viewers and listeners have hopefully at this point seen the vlog I did talking about
00:01:38.440 the results that I had from the executive health test when I came down to Austin and did this
00:01:44.100 with Medici. So maybe they have a little bit of understanding of Medici now. I want to get to that.
00:01:49.600 I want to talk about, you know, like the comprehensive, again, executive health testing that that you guys are doing.
00:01:56.220 Can you walk us through that process?
00:01:59.380 And then I have some other questions for you about, again, why this is such a fantastic investment.
00:02:05.400 And I use that word strategically because you really are investing in the most important thing, which is your health, your functionality, your longevity.
00:02:13.940 Few things more important than that right there, because ultimately that predicts how you behave, how you interact with others, how you move your body, all fundamental to our daily lives.
00:02:24.560 So walk us through an executive health assessment, what it looks like, what you guys do.
00:02:29.720 Yes. So our executive health assessment is done in four hours.
00:02:35.040 So we're looking at about over 440 biomarkers in that four hour time.
00:02:41.440 There are other executive assessments, but most of the time people are there about a day to a day and a half.
00:02:47.800 But due to our technology, we're able to accomplish it all in four hours.
00:02:51.460 So first and foremost, it's not a lot of time out of a single day that you can get this done.
00:02:57.260 When you come in, we're doing about 16 to 17 vials of blood.
00:03:00.620 So that lets you know it's a very deep dive metabolically at what's going on.
00:03:05.520 In that same draw, we're looking for cancer at the cellular level for over 50 types of cancer.
00:03:12.000 That part in itself, I think, is just phenomenal.
00:03:15.460 You know, it's amazing how many people have come through here,
00:03:18.760 look at the epitome of health, and we've caught cancer at stage zero.
00:03:22.640 That's huge.
00:03:23.980 If you can't catch it at stage zero, there's a lot you can do.
00:03:27.980 After that assessment, then we do an ultrasound on all the major organs.
00:03:32.300 We do a DEXA scan where we're looking at your bone density,
00:03:37.300 the visceral fat around your organs, which is, you know, very important to address your overall
00:03:42.980 body composition. And then we take you into a skin derm where we're doing a 360 degree analysis
00:03:50.540 of the skin. I just know for me to get to the dermatologist, that is one sometimes like, oh,
00:03:56.780 let me just wait another six months. But to have this all done right here, they can, the AI that
00:04:02.860 we use in that imaging can monitor every mole, every lesion. Even year to year, it'll tell you
00:04:09.540 if you have a different number of freckles. That's how precise it's monitoring. And then
00:04:15.120 we do a motophysio. The motophysio is analyzed by a physical therapist right there, and it's
00:04:20.060 going to give you your complete muscular skeletal system. Why is that important? Well, number one,
00:04:25.760 it's posture. So as we age, we hunch over for longevity. We want to walk into a room
00:04:32.600 proud. But more importantly, we're looking at this to prevent other issues, back issues. It'll
00:04:39.780 show you if like a knee is pronated, any imbalances, hips, you know, a lot of women that have come in 0.70
00:04:45.100 and given birth, there's, you know, there's stuff that needs to be corrected with their hips. So
00:04:49.240 if we address these, it was amazing to me because, you know, this, the, the technology and the
00:04:55.520 systems, they don't know anything about, you know, the fact that I just had a baby, but nonetheless,
00:04:59.100 it said that my shoulders were rounded, likely from breastfeeding. I'm like, how does it know?
00:05:03.400 How does it know that I'm nursing right now? It's crazy. So, and it gives you, you know,
00:05:07.480 so that's a perfect thing. So right now, wow, you're so young and that can so easily be
00:05:11.940 addressed. So it's not a big issue, but you know, sometimes I know for me, I was a big runner and
00:05:16.520 one of my knees was starting to bother me. Well, it showed that one was pronated and it showed me
00:05:20.420 the exact muscle that was too tight and the muscle is too weak and easy exercises to implement at
00:05:25.500 home. So I'm not 10 years down the road looking a knee replacement. So I love that device. I just
00:05:32.880 think it's incredible. And in minutes, you have a complete analysis of that. But then we go into
00:05:37.780 like the cardiovascular system, which on the treadmill, you blew it out of the park, of course.
00:05:45.120 And I'm going to say what you experienced is we try to make this really fun for everybody. We want
00:05:51.100 to turn up your favorite music. We want this to be something you look forward to doing while we're
00:05:55.660 assessing all this. But, you know, that's a part. It's going to be an EKG in the heart and a stress
00:06:00.240 test on the heart and VO2 max as well. And then from there, we do complete vision and hearing
00:06:07.440 cognitive testing. And, you know, that is another one that I would say sometimes surprises
00:06:13.620 individuals. They're younger and some things they wouldn't expect any cognitive decline,
00:06:18.900 But sometimes it will show very, very early stages of some cognitive struggle.
00:06:25.400 But the good news now is we can intervene, whether that's nutritional deficiencies that come up in our screening.
00:06:33.680 Sometimes we can intervene with peptide therapy, which none of us had access to that just a few years ago.
00:06:39.980 So there's hope in all these areas, no matter what is exposed.
00:06:44.280 and we find out, you know, there's protocols we can take to, to help treat that early.
00:06:51.460 Sorry, go ahead.
00:06:53.260 Oh, I was just going to finish, but you can ask me another question if you want.
00:06:56.260 No, I want you to finish, but I was going to say like, what are some of the most surprising
00:07:00.260 or maybe consequential discoveries that you guys have, have made throughout, you know,
00:07:06.100 these tests that have been done?
00:07:07.420 you know um i would say can't catching cancer stage zero has been huge because most of the
00:07:15.220 time that people that come through here they walk in and they look the epitome of health so
00:07:19.600 that is one and i think very shocking to them and they're very grateful that they came
00:07:23.460 um bone density you know it's amazing now i think probably with more of the glp1 use that we're
00:07:32.280 seeing, you know, some of the nutrition and stuff like that is we're starting to see more bone
00:07:38.200 density issues, men and women. I'm not saying it's solely GLP ones, but I think there's some 0.52
00:07:43.160 nutritional deficiencies that we're seeing over the long term. And it's very surprising to some
00:07:49.080 people because never in a million years would they, you know, realize their borderline osteoporosis
00:07:54.840 or some of them young 30s and their osteopenia. But again, great, we can intervene so early.
00:08:02.280 I was really surprised because Dr. Vo actually said that I had low bone density, which was
00:08:08.340 surprising to me given the fact that I lift and I run and I do high impact things and box jumps
00:08:13.000 in the gym and whatever. But she asked me, you know, just to speak to how high level and really
00:08:19.320 state of the art, not only the facility, but also the doctors are that are at Medici. She said,
00:08:25.180 were you ever on birth control? And I said, I was actually when I was in college, I was on birth
00:08:31.020 control, mostly because when you're competing in a sport where you're in a bathing suit and you're
00:08:35.040 in and out of the water all the time, I just really wanted to skip my menstrual cycle. I didn't really
00:08:38.460 want to have a period. And she said, that's probably what has caused your low bone density
00:08:43.980 as you suppressed your hormones and your body, when you prevented yourself from having the period,
00:08:48.200 she said it has long-term effects. And so to have that knowledge now being, you know, now 26 years
00:08:54.640 old, but having, you know, a younger sister who competes in gymnastics, and I would imagine would
00:08:59.200 love the same ability to suppress her menstrual cycle. And now having a daughter, like knowing
00:09:04.480 those things is so critical in how I approach my health, again, my daughter's health, health
00:09:10.220 moving forward. But I would have never thought I would have had low bone density.
00:09:14.500 Never. And, you know, if it was standard protocol, they probably would have never even done a bone
00:09:19.360 scan on you, you know, bone density scan probably till your late 40s. And that's a big difference
00:09:23.920 20 years down the road than intervening with some easy things right now to help prevent any
00:09:28.940 further issues with that. Well, you know, along those same lines, I had osteoporosis in my family,
00:09:37.260 you know, line. So I was the exact same as you. I was like lifting weights, I was running,
00:09:41.100 very, you know, keen on my diet supplementation. It turns out I had low bonus days. I was like,
00:09:46.360 how on earth? Well, then we took it a step further because we do DNA testing here as well
00:09:51.140 for our concierge clients that we care for year round. And it showed that I had a vitamin K
00:09:57.220 metabolism issue. So, it was another step that, what an easy fix. You know, I can fix that now
00:10:03.180 with my daughters to prevent that. Even though I was doing all the other things right, now with
00:10:08.260 DNA testing, you can even be more precise in how you treat and find root causes things. So, back to
00:10:14.660 the assessment, I guess basically just to sum it up really quickly, we do functional testing in
00:10:20.280 addition to everything else I just mentioned. You have about 45 minutes with the physician.
00:10:25.980 We are very keen and feel it's super important for every client that walks through these doors to have the utmost time to be heard, to ask questions.
00:10:35.400 Because a lot of times during that time is when you'll find other things that might give us more insight to what's going on in their body.
00:10:42.820 And then two weeks later, you get a follow-up call.
00:10:46.060 And with that, we go through all the findings and you have a nice booklet that you can take with you or, you know, you move into our concierge program where we care for you year-round.
00:10:53.640 It really is amazing. And some of the practical solutions or at least remedies that you can implement in your own life once you leave the Medici facility, once you have that conversation with Dr. Vo or any of the incredible doctors there about diet and sleep and different stretches you can implement are things that we have utilized, both my husband and myself.
00:11:20.020 Uh, I talked about this in, in the recent vlog, but that's exactly what we did. We came down
00:11:25.880 there. We did the exact health assessment that you described. And some of the findings were,
00:11:30.340 were super duper cool, especially for my husband. I will say I made it out with a pretty clean bill
00:11:36.140 of health. Uh, there are definitely some things that I could work on, of course, but my husband,
00:11:40.260 uh, he found out that, I mean, to kind of put it in like plain words, like he had sludge in
00:11:46.100 his gallbladder. Um, and so now they were able to say like, look, do you drink a lot of energy
00:11:52.420 drinks? Do you drink a lot of diet soda to which he like, you know, hung his head in shame and
00:11:57.920 said, yes, I do. Um, but again, all things that at 26 years old, you can, you can work to change.
00:12:06.060 Um, so exactly. And it's a visual, right? You can be told, Oh, energy drinks aren't that good for
00:12:11.680 well, when you're 26, 30s, you know, you feel great. But when you have a visual, it's like,
00:12:16.940 oh, wow, it really is affecting me this young. And I can make changes now. You know, I love that
00:12:23.000 the two of you came in together. And I am always, you know, proponent of that when I'm talking to
00:12:28.380 clients thinking of coming in, like, make it a health date. Like, we make it fun. You can keep
00:12:33.120 each other accountable. Or if you're in a corporate setting, you know, make it a team
00:12:37.140 build event and send some of your leadership and let's change the way caring for your health is
00:12:42.280 viewed. It's not something that you dread. It's something fun. And that is something that we take
00:12:47.640 upon ourselves to make sure you walk out the door and you just are so glad you did that and can't
00:12:52.280 wait to come back. And it gives you someone to help hold you accountable, which maybe I just
00:12:58.000 say this as an athlete, but I think accountability, regardless of whatever realm of life we're even
00:13:03.900 talking about, I think accountability is really, really huge in helping to accomplish your goals.
00:13:09.640 And so Louie and I, we really did. We had the best day. And now I like, it's one of my favorite
00:13:14.520 insults, honestly, to give him. And just like our little banter is saying that he has a sludgy
00:13:18.880 gallbladder. So thank you guys. Oh, you know what? Thank goodness we caught something very
00:13:24.220 small like this. That's easy to address and change. The conversation I feel like in today's
00:13:30.860 world is so surrounding longevity, whether it's in physical appearance or aesthetics. We see
00:13:37.500 women, you know, I think a lot of women in Hollywood who are, you know, using Botox and 1.00
00:13:43.520 fillers sometimes to the point where they look relatively unnatural. But I think we're going for 0.99
00:13:48.280 that, you know, living longer. What should the conversation really be about? Right. Well,
00:13:55.720 I always say is, do you want to live longer or do you want to live a more vibrant life full of
00:14:01.940 vitality longer, right? I put the word longer at the end. So, you know, we can live to our 100,
00:14:08.140 but if the last 25 years is spent, you know, bedridden and uncomfortable and cognitive
00:14:15.400 decline, you know, those last 25 years where they live vibrantly. So, you know, we like to say,
00:14:21.500 we want to help you live the most vibrant life. Whether you are 25, 26 years old right now,
00:14:27.340 let's optimize your health so you feel even better than you did. Or you're walking through
00:14:31.740 our doors and you're 80 years old. Let's help keep you playing with your grandchildren and
00:14:37.400 going for those walks and maybe even hiking. And we really can do that now with the technology
00:14:44.560 and with the testing that we can do now,
00:14:47.880 you know, here we do outside of just the assessment
00:14:54.200 that we've been talking about.
00:14:55.620 We do other testing to look at, you know, like your DNA.
00:14:59.700 Like I said, how do we optimize your vitamins for your DNA
00:15:03.320 and your exercise regimen?
00:15:04.960 What do you predispose to that we can, you know, intervene early?
00:15:09.660 So none of that has to transpire when you're 80 years old.
00:15:13.560 If someone wants to be thriving at 80 rather than merely surviving, as you described, what what is it that they should be doing right now?
00:15:22.840 Well, I always say that health, I look at it more as whole health.
00:15:27.760 And I think we can also all equally agree. Right.
00:15:30.820 Like complete health is mind, body and spirit.
00:15:35.360 And I think when we see any one of those areas get out of balance, then when you're 80, you're not going to feel your optimum, right?
00:15:43.960 If you focus so much on just the physical health that you've neglected your mental health because you've been working so much and isolated yourself from community, there's going to be a part of loneliness that doesn't make you feel your optimal self at age 80.
00:16:01.360 So from a physical standpoint, optimally, I like to say, you know, let's put it in simple terms, every single person can do.
00:16:09.960 Every single person, we really advocate for lifestyle medicine.
00:16:15.260 It's every single thing you can do on a daily basis.
00:16:17.680 A morning routine, getting sunshine, unplugging from the phone and maybe having some fair time, gratitude and downtime before you start your busyness.
00:16:29.420 shopping the perimeter of the grocery store. You know, you never have to read a label if you shop
00:16:34.020 the perimeter. Every single thing your body needs is on the perimeter of that grocery store.
00:16:38.400 Taking out, people don't like to hear this one, taking out the ear pods. You know, that could be
00:16:43.000 a whole podcast in itself. But what is that doing to our children, to ourselves, you know, this
00:16:49.180 EMF directly in the brain with these ear pods? But outside that, it's movement. It's what we eat.
00:16:57.120 It's our sleep, you know, going to bed at the same time, rising at the same time.
00:17:01.400 So I think some of those practical physical things lead to longevity and it doesn't take
00:17:06.520 a lot of money.
00:17:09.120 Sorry, go ahead.
00:17:11.000 And then just the mental health, you know, relationship, time with loved ones, like we
00:17:16.480 have to protect that time on our calendar.
00:17:18.940 You know, I always say like, if you have to block it out on your calendar, time with a
00:17:22.240 loved one or a friend, then that's the most important meeting of the day.
00:17:25.780 You know, you have to do that for overall health and then your spiritual health as well.
00:17:31.180 That, I think, leads to the ultimate vibrant longevity, you know, mind, body, spirit.
00:17:37.980 You're optimizing it.
00:17:39.700 You know, I love that.
00:17:41.880 I just actually was in Texas at Turning Point's big WLS conference, and I was wondering about what I should speak about.
00:17:48.600 You know what?
00:17:49.120 I was praying on it.
00:17:49.900 Seriously, like I woke up at 3 a.m.
00:17:51.520 I hadn't really planned at all the night before of what I was going to say on stage at 10 a.m.
00:17:56.180 And so I'm thinking about it, understanding it.
00:17:59.240 It really is a unique opportunity when you're in front of, you know, 2,500 young high school, college age girls.
00:18:05.940 It's a different demographic than than even what I'm used to to speaking to.
00:18:09.820 And so one of the things that I really felt called to speak about was to unplug and disconnect.
00:18:16.600 I think we as humans, like we weren't designed, intentionally created to ingest as much media and news and information as we do on a daily basis.
00:18:28.960 You know, you think about it like we're following simultaneously elections and wars and and celebrity scandals and natural disasters and shootings and all of these these things that are often very heavy and overwhelming.
00:18:41.280 and they leave you feeling hopeless,
00:18:43.120 hence why I think we have a generation full of,
00:18:45.440 at least in higher rates of depression and isolation
00:18:49.060 and horrible things,
00:18:50.760 despite the fact that we really do have
00:18:52.560 the most convenient lives,
00:18:54.780 certainly more than our great grandparents.
00:18:58.000 We have ChatGPT and Amazon Prime and wonderful things,
00:19:01.840 but nonetheless, those clearly don't equate to happiness.
00:19:05.120 What I spoke to on stage was
00:19:07.020 what at least has left me feeling happy
00:19:09.500 is spending time with family, developing meaningful relationships outside of the phone,
00:19:16.440 deepening my personal relationship with Christ, focusing on my health. That's how
00:19:20.440 I have found at least, again, I don't think I have all of the answers, but for me, that's what
00:19:25.960 leaves me feeling fulfilled and satisfied and content and not necessarily searching for more.
00:19:32.460 so you're you're spot on you know and it kind of leads that to you know time stress um we go back
00:19:41.160 to investing in your health right um you know ultimately what brings the most satisfaction

00:20:29.680 One thing becomes out of balance and all of a sudden we're feeling empty and unsatisfied and
00:20:35.800 pretty soon we start getting in that rabbit, the rabbit wheel I call, where we're searching and
00:20:42.740 searching and searching and moving faster and faster and faster and because of technology we
00:20:47.220 can multitask and do a million things at once but really ultimately on health I don't think it's
00:20:52.640 good for us. I like to say you know when I was 40 I learned the hard way and I was doing all the
00:20:58.260 great things. You know, I was keeping, you know, I was racing much more at that time. So physically,
00:21:04.440 you know, I was training really hard. I was running CC4C, the nonprofit we talked about.
00:21:09.560 I was a mom, busy mom of two, and I felt like I could do it all. And on the outside, it looked
00:21:15.380 like I could. Well, you know, my body finally gave and my thyroid went out at 40. And they're
00:21:21.060 like, how on earth did your thyroid go out? You eat healthy, you exercise. And I was like,
00:21:24.080 it's stress. Like if we don't manage our stress, we can do the exercise and the diet and all those
00:21:31.680 things, but ultimately it's going to take a toll on the body. Um, so I, I just really feel it's
00:21:37.180 very important that we, we look at our calendars. You know, one thing I do every morning and it's
00:21:42.580 worked great. I've been doing this for about the last five years. I wake up and I'm like, Lord,
00:21:47.980 any meeting today that is not of your will or your time, remove it from my calendar and place
00:21:53.820 with what is your will. And it's amazing. Like sometimes half of my meetings will cancel. I'm
00:21:57.580 like, actually, it wasn't the right time for that meeting or postponed, but it was exactly what he
00:22:03.180 knew I needed for that day for my mental health, physical, or maybe there was another meeting that
00:22:08.000 he needed to replace it with. Yeah, I love that. It's, I have found that certainly to be the case
00:22:14.320 as well. And I think kids help really reinforce that. Once you, you know, kind of remove the,
00:22:20.120 the natural selfish attitude that you have and how you approach your day. And you have a whole
00:22:25.760 nother human being who's like entirely dependent and reliant on you, especially the best version
00:22:31.700 of you. It kind of forces you to reprioritize in that way. But at least for me, and I think
00:22:37.620 most people would find this to be the case, certainly for the best, I'm a much better,
00:22:42.460 the version of myself that I am now is significantly better. Like I'm a 10 times
00:22:47.600 better human being, a better Christian, a better wife, a better daughter to my parents because of
00:22:53.220 my baby. So, I certainly agree with you there. You're thinking about the next generation,
00:22:59.400 right? And that's kind of what we're talking about in like investing in your health. Like
00:23:02.820 the most important thing that your children want from you, and now I'm thinking, oh my goodness,
00:23:07.480 now it's going to be my grandchildren, is they want you. They want you to be able to do all the
00:23:12.920 things that they enjoy with you. And the way we do that is investing and protecting our health.
00:23:19.260 What do you think the future of healthcare looks like in America? And what is it that our healthcare
00:23:25.500 system, and I think insurance for that matter, where do you think we can improve?
00:23:30.780 Yes. Okay. Well, first, where I think it's headed, really due to AI and access at people's
00:23:38.160 fingertips, regardless of your financial abilities. I think you have a lot more access.
00:23:44.920 I mean, we have an app called Dr. Gabby that's phenomenal. It's like having a doctor in your
00:23:48.800 back pocket. You can upload your labs and everything. I think people right now are
00:23:53.260 taking more upon themselves to do some deeper searching into their own health, and they can
00:24:01.400 get some feedback from ai so i think that is one thing now as far as like let's say in for us our
00:24:09.720 concierge care um we are looking at health much differently and that we're forming a whole clinical
00:24:17.740 team um around every client so we're not just having the physician we have the physician and
00:24:24.520 the health coach and the peptide specialists and and the nurse all talking to one another on a
00:24:31.100 weekly basis about every single one of our clients. How do we push the needle in their
00:24:36.660 health? Whether it's an issue we're addressing right now, or it's an issue that we're trying
00:24:42.400 to prevent. We have a clinical team talking and looking at metrics that we didn't have before.
00:24:48.140 And I think we're going to be able to see more and more and more. DNA is a huge one.
00:24:52.580 Gut microbiome, I mean, that gives you more insights. I think we're going to be seeing that
00:24:57.640 more and more used as a big protocol to address different issues that are going on that we
00:25:02.960 previously didn't. So I would say more of this extensive testing. We're going to see we do
00:25:07.660 toxicity testing for our concierge clients. It's fascinating. You know, we're looking at heavy
00:25:12.840 metals and plastics and pesticides. So why are these labs out of range? Well, instead of just
00:25:18.980 saying these are out of range, if we look at toxicity, oh, wow, we need to address your
00:25:23.260 toxicity, maybe some of these levels are going to come back to normal. So I think due to technology,
00:25:29.920 due to the way we're really able to innovate testing, we're able to better address, I would
00:25:34.220 say, root causes rather than just the symptoms once they arise. I think that's so good because
00:25:43.200 oftentimes that is, as we've mentioned many times now, especially at the top of the show, where
00:25:48.680 that is what we see is it's almost like a band-aid you're putting a band-aid on the symptoms as
00:25:53.980 opposed to getting to the real root of the problem so that's how you contribute to a healthier
00:25:59.020 better functioning society so incredible what about I want to have Dr. Inga on the show
00:26:05.980 with Medici to talk about peptides because I have found it to be just the most fascinating
00:26:11.420 at least in the past few weeks you know really trying to understand and research and and look
00:26:17.400 at what this looks like and how regulated it is, blah, blah, blah. What about peptides? Where do
00:26:23.760 they kind of fit into like the precision medicine model now? Peptides, first of all, just really can
00:26:31.500 push the needle in systems in your body that were previously, let's say, slowing down or not
00:26:37.360 accurately working. It signals, these peptides signal how that system should work, whether that's
00:26:44.240 in performance areas you know muscle uh your metabolism energy the mitochondria we now we can
00:26:51.840 support the mitochondria of every cell which is the powerhouse of energy you know that can help
00:26:57.080 cognitive function um we can do for inflammation i would say that's probably the most exciting one
00:27:02.880 right now if i had to pick one is inflammation because inflammation is really the root of most
00:27:08.260 disease um a lot of times people will be like i just feel so let's just say they're coming in here
00:27:13.160 because they have a health condition and they are struggling with weight you put them on some of
00:27:17.440 these peptides just to decrease inflammation and all of a sudden their weight starts coming off
00:27:21.560 their gut heals and their body starts to to heal naturally and perform the way it was so you know
00:27:28.180 we use them in different areas um which she'll she'll explain more but i think the biggest thing
00:27:34.180 now is i feel like it it it's empowering because no matter what comes up in an assessment or
00:27:40.580 somebody that's been struggling you know of course the the body composition one that makes me happy
00:27:46.200 when we have somebody that comes through 70 that's saying I haven't felt this good since I was 30 and
00:27:50.220 they're in their smaller jeans and have put on some muscle you know but um there was saying we
00:27:55.820 didn't have access to this before and now that we do we can really even if something is arises we
00:28:03.060 can treat it and and really push the needle using peptide therapy as long as it's done correctly you
00:28:09.640 know, we are very big on, on labs. Um, you know, you need to know somebody's medical history
00:28:15.840 because there are certain peptides they shouldn't be on if they have different things in their
00:28:20.160 medical history. I like to give this example. I did one of the peptides to support human growth
00:28:25.640 hormone right now. I'm close to 50. I was like, Ooh, I started feeling incredible after two months.
00:28:30.480 And I was like, I just might go run a Boston marathon again. I mean, I was like, maybe it
00:28:36.960 still is in my future but i mean i ran and i was like oh my gosh i feel like i did when i was 30
00:28:43.240 running and they said well we have to run your lives before we'll do the next um a series of it
00:28:48.040 well my human growth hormone was at the the top level for it should be in two months so

00:29:23.760 Had we not run labs and it continued to rise and we run into another issue, right?
00:29:28.640 So we're very big proponents on monitoring every single client very closely so they can
00:29:34.480 be used as powerhouse tools, but they just need to be monitored correctly.
00:29:40.540 All right, it's time for your Why Refi break.
00:29:42.960 I want to talk to you guys about something that is quietly burdening so many people that
00:29:47.560 is private student loan debt.
00:29:49.040 If your monthly payment feels like it's crushing you, like it's way higher than what you can
00:29:53.280 actually afford, or maybe you're even falling behind, maybe you're in default, I want you
00:29:58.340 to know you're not stuck forever. There is light at the end of the tunnel, and that light is why
00:30:03.400 refi. They specialize in helping people who feel trapped by private student loans, the ones that
00:30:08.100 most lenders won't even look at, by the way, and they refinance your loan, and they sit down with
00:30:13.160 you one-on-one to create a realistic payment plan that you can actually afford. That often means
00:30:19.680 significantly lower monthly payments. It means a low fixed interest rate, and the best part of this
00:30:24.500 is they don't care about what your credit score is.
00:30:26.860 So if student loans have been weighing you down,
00:30:29.360 this could be the relief that you've been praying for.
00:30:31.320 Go to whyrefi.com, that is Y-R-E-F-Y.com,
00:30:35.140 and be sure to tell them that Riley
00:30:36.540 from the Riley Gaines Show sent you.
00:30:39.820 Where can people go to learn more about Medici
00:30:42.760 and what you guys have to offer?
00:30:45.660 Yes, well, our website, medi.ci,
00:30:50.320 so it's Medici, but M-E-D-I.ci.
00:30:53.260 or our Instagram, Medici Health as well, but both are there. And, you know, most of your clients
00:31:01.020 will probably get to visit directly with me as well about any, whether they're interested in
00:31:05.080 the executive assessment, their concierge care, where we care for you year round, or our peptide
00:31:10.620 therapy, everything can be found on our website. What role, I ask this knowing, you know, a lot of
00:31:17.200 the people who are at Medici, who call Medici home, what role does faith play in how you guys
00:31:24.940 operate with your clients, but I think more importantly, as a team and together?
00:31:31.480 Well, that is one of the most important, I think, questions you could ask, especially for me,
00:31:37.660 and that's why I'm here. We are faith-based, and we care for every single person that walks
00:31:43.080 through our doors regardless of faith, but we are a praying team. And, you know, we do rounding on
00:31:48.660 our clients and we pray over our clients and the people that are going to be coming through our
00:31:52.160 doors. So, I like to say, you know, we can have the best technology, we can have the best physicians,
00:31:57.580 we can offer the best testing, but there's no better wisdom and discernment than from our
00:32:03.380 Father above. And I think when you have an entire team surrendering to His will and His discernment
00:32:10.320 to care for every client, you know, I think there's a whole nother level of care that we
00:32:15.700 can give them. And secondly, I always like to say, I'm here because we will never get stagnant
00:32:23.000 in seeking what's best for them. And part of that is my role too, you know, in trying to find,
00:32:28.300 are we always giving the best test that's out there for whether it's gut microbiome we mentioned,
00:32:34.180 or DNA or the CGMs, you know, whatever we're using, we will never stop seeking for our
00:32:41.340 clients to make sure that we're providing the best care so they can hopefully go live
00:32:47.040 and pursue the calling God has on their life while we are managing and taking care of their
00:32:53.300 health.
00:32:54.700 You know, I thought being bloated after every meal was normal.
00:32:58.140 It's not.
00:32:59.100 Once I really focused on changing my gut, everything changed.
00:33:03.500 I'm talking, yes, obviously the bloat, my hair, my skin, my nails, even my immunity.
00:33:09.240 And one thing that I noticed that made a really big difference for me was taking cowboy colostrum.
00:33:13.840 I started taking cowboy colostrum for my gut, but the results that I did not expect are the ones that really shocked me.
00:33:21.240 My hair is noticeably thicker, which this is something that's really important to me now being, what, nearly nine months postpartum?
00:33:28.320 I still have a full head of hair. I didn't really suffer from the postpartum hair loss.
00:33:33.500 My skin is very clear. I don't have that bloated feeling anymore. Colostrum, I found out it supports
00:33:39.120 your gut health. And when your gut is right, everything else really follows that. And it's
00:33:43.840 not just my experience. Cowboy actually ran a clinical study and the numbers back it up. It
00:33:48.400 says that 83 participants reported improved gut health, 79% experienced less bloating and
00:33:54.340 inflammation, 72% saw improved digestion and 62% saw fuller, thicker hair. Today's sponsor is
00:34:01.200 cowboy colostrum. They offer the highest quality bovine colostrum available in the U.S. It is 100%
00:34:06.560 made in America from 100% American grass-fed cows. Unlike other colostrum brands, cowboy is true
00:34:13.580 first day whole colostrum, rich in bioactives and growth factors. But don't worry, cowboy colostrum
00:34:19.520 only collects the surplus colostrum after baby calves have had their fill. It's not processed
00:34:25.400 or stripped down. Their colostrum is whole, full fat. Don't let that scare you. Full fat in this
00:34:30.780 form with whole and natural fats is actually a good thing. No artificial flavors, no fillers,
00:34:36.040 just real whole ingredients. It became an effortless part of my daily routine. I mix it
00:34:41.820 into either my iced coffee or my protein drink every morning. I actually even pack it when I
00:34:46.360 travel. You could throw it in smoothies. I've even found fun ways of incorporating it into recipes
00:34:50.820 like protein balls. I put it in my yogurt even sometimes. It's really that easy. So if you want
00:34:56.020 to feel your best, especially heading into summer, this is the one daily habit that actually delivers
00:34:59.920 results that you can see. So for a limited time, our listeners of the Riley Gaines show,

00:35:16.940 and did the executive health assessment, you go through the ultrasound, they do an ultrasound of
00:35:21.760 every major organ. And so I took all my jewelry off, you know, all 10,000 earrings I have and my
00:35:26.700 necklace. And I always wear a cross necklace. Um, and I left it there. And so I was so glad
00:35:33.540 to get my new cross necklace that I haven't yet taken off, um, from Genesis doesn't tarnish.
00:35:40.380 You can wear it with whatever. I actually layer it even with other necklaces. So
00:35:44.280 I highly encourage all of the, the girls listening, um, to go check it out because again, the,
00:35:51.520 the jewelry is beautiful, but the causes that you're supporting and the message that's being
00:35:56.520 spread the conversations that you can have because of this jewelry um super awesome so
00:36:02.020 thank you riley you know my my desire is you know it leaves a legacy that leaves a legacy of his
00:36:09.560 word um when i took on this role i basically prayed i said lord i'm surrendering the jewelry
00:36:14.620 to you to bring your helpers as i pursue i felt like he was calling me into medici because of
00:36:21.380 my experience and ways that hopefully I could help countless people with their health through
00:36:27.520 what we provide so they can pursue their callings in life. And it's amazing how he's just used
00:36:32.620 both of those and even the nonprofit to help his kids that need it most. All three of them
00:36:38.780 have interwoven beautiful. And of course, it was his design that I could have never thought of
00:36:43.680 on my own. No, how could we? Well, we appreciate you for coming on. And for those listening,
00:36:49.700 We're going to have Dr. Inga on soon. Again, we just had the, uh, my results from the DNA testing,
00:36:55.200 which I thought that was so cool. I found out things about, you know, potential, uh,
00:37:02.180 you know, ailments or diseases. I don't know what a good word is things that you could potentially
00:37:07.700 face and ways to combat it early. Like I'm talking Alzheimer's and different types of cancer.
00:37:12.220 It was so cool. So we had the vlog come out earlier this week. So,
00:37:15.640 Oh, it's, it's so empowering. You know, it's not to fear. It's just empowering. Now we get on top
00:37:21.020 of all of those and, and address it even for, you know, I say for your kids, you find out stuff that
00:37:25.900 was so helpful for me with my girls, you know, that I can integrate. Genetics are passed down
00:37:30.440 oftentimes. So yeah, I'm very grateful you have that at your fingertips and we continue to just
00:37:36.660 be honored to care for you and your family.
