0:00.0	Josh, welcome to the podcast.
0:02.8	You know, I want to start off with something pretty nuts
0:05.5	that you and your team at levels have been sounding the alarm on.
0:09.6	In America alone, conservatively, we have one in three people have pre-diabetes, but the crazy
0:17.5	thing is the vast majority of them have no clue at all that they have it in the first place. But even crazier than that is that if you look at the nine out of ten leading causes of death, they are directly caused or worsened by having metabolic dysfunction of which
0:36.0	pre-diabedies is a part of. Now my question for you is why do so many people
0:40.9	out there have pre-diabedies and how come so many people out there have pre-diabetes and how come so many of them upwards of like 80%
0:47.7	why do they have no idea that they actually have pre-diabetes.
0:53.0	It's great to be here and I'm excited to talk about this and all of the sort of sub-threads that this opens up,
0:58.6	but it's honestly the most important question in the world,
1:01.5	in my opinion right now. Why is the entire population
1:05.2	seemingly careening towards chronic illness and at the end of that chronic illness stint however long it may be for that
1:10.9	individual is is one of these causes of death, which the CDC
1:14.9	says primarily are preventable.
1:17.5	So metabolic dysfunction, it's really the root of the long-term disorders that we like to label as causes of death,
1:26.1	obesity, Alzheimer's dementia, cardiovascular disease, heart attacks, diabetes, cancer,
1:31.5	stroke. These are the things that we know end lives, but underneath all of them are metabolic disorders and the earliest stage that we label, and unfortunately I think labels are not super useful, but the earliest stage that we label is
1:44.9	pre-diabetes. It's where a person starts to show the first signs that their blood sugar control
1:51.6	or their insulin sensitivity is no longer what it needs to be in
1:54.9	order to maintain a healthy cellular function with minimal toxic byproducts and long-term health.
2:02.0	And so like you said, I mean, we're at a point where it's actually on the order of
2:06.1	52% of American adults have pre-diabetes or diabetes. So more than half the population, you are more likely than not to be pre-diabetic or diabetic today.
