0:12.0

He spent 15 years in the medical industry supporting the

nations, leading surgeons with Eli Lilly and striker products. That journey showed him about the disastrous impacts of our broken health care system on actually patient care.

0:40.2

He founded ways too well in 2018 to provide low-cost preventative wellness through in-depth lab analysis, giving patients access, education,

0:47.6

and solutions to manage their current health status based upon lab diagnostics.

And I'm really interested in talking to you because I spent some time with you

0:59.0

on a recent trip, campaign trip trip and just was fascinated about the level of knowledge you have about
