Calley Means: They've co-opted what medicine is in our brains

"As much as Pfizer has tried when I worked for Pfizer, the definition of medicine in the IRS tax code is not a synthetic pill made by a large pharmaceutical industry. The definition of medicine is something that's recommended by a medical practitioner for the prevention reversal cure mitigation of a condition. The problem is that they've co-opted what medicine is in our brains. And at Stanford Med School, nobody understands this."

"So we've actually been educating members of Congress about this. But there's $150 billion in these HSA funds. And this is a message to everyone. our company's doing it, but I would say it's much wider than that. Go to your doctor and demand a letter of medical necessity when they're taking out the prescription pad for the STATIN, for the metformin, for the SSRI. Study after study shows they have two courts of people."

"They've got people that exercise and eat whole foods, and then they have people that do antidepressants and go to therapy. The people that don't go to therapy, no drugs, but exercise and eat better food. demonstratively better outcomes in depression. So I think where this all over hits the road, and this is an important thing, I think, from conservatives to liberals, it's not about lecturing Americans."

"The answer is that lecturing Americans what to eat. I mean, they're buying books, they're listening to Dr. Huberman, but a lot of people are on a health journey. But with our clinical incentives, we should be incentivizing the clinically appropriate intervention for what health issues we're facing. We are facing a chronic disease metabolic health crisis."

"It's nine out of 10 killers of Americans and 95% of medical spending. So just clinically, and Europe is actually doing this, right? If you have PCOS infertility in Europe, most countries, you get a subsidized keto diet because PCOS, which is the leading cause of female infertility, is insulin resistant. It's basically on the diabetes spectrum. And the most effective intervention, the most effective intervention, to reverse PCOS and become more fertile is going on a 12-week keto diet."

"Okay, it spurs, so what happens in the United States? Doctors, good friends, and actually my good friend that I always reference is an OBGYN from Harvard now is educating his patients about this and we've had good conversations, but doctors from Harvard Medical School who are OBGYNs do not know when they're sitting across from a patient who's infertile what causes PCOS. It's immediate, the standard of care, the standard of care is immediate jamming hormone pills down that woman's throat. and on a quick route to IVF."

"IVF should absolutely, of course, be legal, but that's an invasive procedure, right? And no woman listening, I'm sure, who's going through the traditional medical system, and most women, many, it's an epidemic right now, PCOS, they're not told this, they're not told this."
