ChatGPT is giving you terrible health advice, and it's your fault. The problem isn't the AI; it's the generic, surface-level questions you're asking it, which only echo the same tired health myths.
What you'll learn
- AI is a research assistant, not a personalized health practitioner.
- Generic prompts yield generic, often myth-based, health answers from AI models.
- The quality of the AI's answer is determined by the quality of your root-cause question.
- Use the BSB framework to force AI to analyze variables, not just spit out memorized text.
- You win by becoming a better investigator of your own health, using AI as one of many tools.

Hello everyone. Welcome back to another Hello everyone. Welcome back to another Hello everyone. Welcome back to another episode of Integrative View Radio. So, episode of Integrative View Radio. So, episode of Integrative View Radio. So, Dr. Nick is going to get to talk about Dr. Nick is going to get to talk about Dr. Nick is going to get to talk about one of his favorite topics today, which one of his favorite topics today, which one of his favorite topics today, which is AI, artificial intelligence. And um is AI, artificial intelligence. And um is AI, artificial intelligence. And um he'll probably, you know, I was already he'll probably, you know, I was already he'll probably, you know, I was already warned not to get too deep with people. warned not to get too deep with people. warned not to get too deep with people. I already warned him about five seconds I already warned him about five seconds I already warned him about five seconds ago. We'll see if I obey or not. ago. We'll see if I obey or not. ago. We'll see if I obey or not. the this was actually um a a podcast the this was actually um a a podcast the this was actually um a a podcast that I I brought to the table and that I I brought to the table and that I I brought to the table and primarily the original reason we wanted primarily the original reason we wanted primarily the original reason we wanted to talk about this is because for those to talk about this is because for those to talk about this is because for those of you that don't know um well one I of you that don't know um well one I of you that don't know um well one I classify myself as an investigator uh classify myself as an investigator uh classify myself as an investigator uh specifically a health mind body specifically a health mind body specifically a health mind body investigator and I developed a what investigator and I developed a what investigator and I developed a what would you call it like a like a research would you call it like a like a research would you call it like a like a research book that I've never shared with the book that I've never shared with the book that I've never shared with the world um because it would be pretty hard world um because it would be pretty hard world um because it would be pretty hard for people to for people to for people to understand. But I created it because I understand. But I created it because I understand. But I created it because I had to do so much had to do so much had to do so much research for every single one of my research for every single one of my research for every single one of my clients over the past 13 years in order clients over the past 13 years in order clients over the past 13 years in order to to to understand what their results meant. and understand what their results meant. and understand what their results meant. and then to find the the research and the then to find the the research and the then to find the the research and the data associated with the findings. So data associated with the findings. So data associated with the findings. So I'll give you an example. One, we use a I'll give you an example. One, we use a I'll give you an example. One, we use a DNA technology. It's uh called an NLS DNA technology. It's uh called an NLS DNA technology. It's uh called an NLS matrix decoder and this is something matrix decoder and this is something matrix decoder and this is something that clients will send us a hair sample that clients will send us a hair sample that clients will send us a hair sample and we will run a couple of different and we will run a couple of different and we will run a couple of different tests uh using the DNA of the hair. But tests uh using the DNA of the hair. But tests uh using the DNA of the hair. But one of them is a technology called uh one of them is a technology called uh one of them is a technology called uh the NLS uh decoder. It's built on the NLS uh decoder. It's built on the NLS uh decoder. It's built on quantum quantum quantum physics, quantum energy. And so in using physics, quantum energy. And so in using physics, quantum energy. And so in using that, it would show me things that I that, it would show me things that I that, it would show me things that I didn't know what they were. It would didn't know what they were. It would didn't know what they were. It would show me chemicals that I've never heard show me chemicals that I've never heard show me chemicals that I've never heard of. It would show me toxicities that I of. It would show me toxicities that I of. It would show me toxicities that I was unaware of. And I thought it was was unaware of. And I thought it was was unaware of. And I thought it was really fun because I got to research really fun because I got to research really fun because I got to research these things, but the research would these things, but the research would these things, but the research would take hours. So an example is if a take hours. So an example is if a take hours. So an example is if a chemical would come up like there was a chemical would come up like there was a chemical would come up like there was a chemical because we were based in New chemical because we were based in New chemical because we were based in New Jersey there was a chemical called Jersey there was a chemical called Jersey there was a chemical called uratropene that would come up very often uratropene that would come up very often uratropene that would come up very often and then uratropene has a couple of and then uratropene has a couple of and then uratropene has a couple of different names um it's called different names um it's called different names um it's called hexatramine and then it also is uh the hexatramine and then it also is uh the hexatramine and then it also is uh the analogy is HMT analogy is HMT analogy is HMT uh or the acronym and anyway turns out uh or the acronym and anyway turns out uh or the acronym and anyway turns out it's a chemical that's produced by it's a chemical that's produced by it's a chemical that's produced by DuPont and one of the largest factories DuPont and one of the largest factories DuPont and one of the largest factories or uh plants for DuPont is in Serville, or uh plants for DuPont is in Serville, or uh plants for DuPont is in Serville, New Jersey. And so the amount of hours New Jersey. And so the amount of hours New Jersey. And so the amount of hours our show just got cancelled. Oh yeah, I our show just got cancelled. Oh yeah, I our show just got cancelled. Oh yeah, I guess I didn't really think about that. guess I didn't really think about that. guess I didn't really think about that. Um but the amount of hours that it would Um but the amount of hours that it would Um but the amount of hours that it would take me to dig up this type of take me to dig up this type of take me to dig up this type of information because when I would tell information because when I would tell information because when I would tell people, hey, I see this coming up as a people, hey, I see this coming up as a people, hey, I see this coming up as a toxicity in your system. One, I I want toxicity in your system. One, I I want toxicity in your system. One, I I want them to understand, you know, how the them to understand, you know, how the them to understand, you know, how the heck did this happen? And two is I want heck did this happen? And two is I want heck did this happen? And two is I want them to have a level of awareness of how them to have a level of awareness of how them to have a level of awareness of how can you prevent future exposures. So if can you prevent future exposures. So if can you prevent future exposures. So if you're drinking tap water in close you're drinking tap water in close you're drinking tap water in close proximity to this, you know, zip code of proximity to this, you know, zip code of proximity to this, you know, zip code of where this plant is, then stop drinking where this plant is, then stop drinking where this plant is, then stop drinking tap water. Start get a water purifier, tap water. Start get a water purifier, tap water. Start get a water purifier, drink, you know, uh, distilled water, so drink, you know, uh, distilled water, so drink, you know, uh, distilled water, so on and so forth. So the moral of the on and so forth. So the moral of the on and so forth. So the moral of the story is is that over the 14 years I story is is that over the 14 years I story is is that over the 14 years I created a 500page created a 500page created a 500page uh document that encompasses all of this uh document that encompasses all of this uh document that encompasses all of this research. And now more recently, if I go research. And now more recently, if I go research. And now more recently, if I go on Google and I type in a chemical or a on Google and I type in a chemical or a on Google and I type in a chemical or a toxin, I'm getting information about it toxin, I'm getting information about it toxin, I'm getting information about it that I have never been able to see on a that I have never been able to see on a that I have never been able to see on a Google search or a a web search at all Google search or a a web search at all Google search or a a web search at all in the past. And so I found it to be in the past. And so I found it to be in the past. And so I found it to be very very interesting that in this very very interesting that in this very very interesting that in this through an AI search it's not coming up through an AI search it's not coming up through an AI search it's not coming up to you digging. to you digging. to you digging. Exactly. So in this era of Exactly. So in this era of Exactly. So in this era of AI the it's not just AI the it's not just AI the it's not just about access to about access to about access to information but it's essentially access information but it's essentially access information but it's essentially access to information that has been suppressed. Yeah. I mean, I think AI is allowing us Yeah. I mean, I think AI is allowing us Yeah. I mean, I think AI is allowing us to be a lot more efficient in accessing to be a lot more efficient in accessing to be a lot more efficient in accessing more information, uh, for sure. Um, I more information, uh, for sure. Um, I more information, uh, for sure. Um, I think that's part of the algorithm think that's part of the algorithm think that's part of the algorithm behind it, but I also think on the back behind it, but I also think on the back behind it, but I also think on the back end, you know, we're we're getting end, you know, we're we're getting end, you know, we're we're getting deeper into this information age. Um, so deeper into this information age. Um, so deeper into this information age. Um, so we're just going to naturally have we're just going to naturally have we're just going to naturally have access to more and more, and it's going access to more and more, and it's going access to more and more, and it's going to be to be to be uh a necessary probably evil for for uh a necessary probably evil for for uh a necessary probably evil for for some that don't want to see the bigger some that don't want to see the bigger some that don't want to see the bigger picture of, you know, not only just the picture of, you know, not only just the picture of, you know, not only just the bad, but there's good, too. um both bad, but there's good, too. um both bad, but there's good, too. um both sides have been suppressed kind of sides have been suppressed kind of sides have been suppressed kind of keeping humanity numb. But that's like keeping humanity numb. But that's like keeping humanity numb. But that's like what gets me so excited about AI is the what gets me so excited about AI is the what gets me so excited about AI is the access to to more information and the access to to more information and the access to to more information and the efficiency to it. You know, when you efficiency to it. You know, when you efficiency to it. You know, when you think think think about most important thing is time and about most important thing is time and about most important thing is time and energy. So, if we can spend less time energy. So, if we can spend less time energy. So, if we can spend less time figuring out, you know, better results, figuring out, you know, better results, figuring out, you know, better results, we're going to have more energy. And I we're going to have more energy. And I we're going to have more energy. And I know that we should definitely address know that we should definitely address know that we should definitely address the the topic of of fears around AI the the topic of of fears around AI the the topic of of fears around AI because you know there even in the because you know there even in the because you know there even in the beginning stages you know I had I had my beginning stages you know I had I had my beginning stages you know I had I had my concerns not that I had I still you know concerns not that I had I still you know concerns not that I had I still you know of course there's still concerns uh it's of course there's still concerns uh it's of course there's still concerns uh it's not just again as we always talk about not just again as we always talk about not just again as we always talk about nothing is nothing is nothing is one-sided but I think that what's kind one-sided but I think that what's kind one-sided but I think that what's kind of interesting about what we're talking of interesting about what we're talking of interesting about what we're talking about here with this accessibility to about here with this accessibility to about here with this accessibility to information through AI associated with information through AI associated with information through AI associated with health, associated with environmental health, associated with environmental health, associated with environmental toxins or environmental factors that can toxins or environmental factors that can toxins or environmental factors that can affect health. What I I think is really affect health. What I I think is really affect health. What I I think is really amazing about the AI is that this is not amazing about the AI is that this is not amazing about the AI is that this is not biased information that is being put biased information that is being put biased information that is being put together by a forprofit company. you together by a forprofit company. you together by a forprofit company. you know, it's like WebMD has been a know, it's like WebMD has been a know, it's like WebMD has been a standardized place for people to look standardized place for people to look standardized place for people to look when it comes to health information. Um, when it comes to health information. Um, when it comes to health information. Um, you know, there's a lot of jokes that you know, there's a lot of jokes that you know, there's a lot of jokes that would go on in our practice in our would go on in our practice in our would go on in our practice in our office and people would say, "Yeah, I office and people would say, "Yeah, I office and people would say, "Yeah, I looked up, you know, my toe hurting and looked up, you know, my toe hurting and looked up, you know, my toe hurting and it said cancer." And it's, you know, it said cancer." And it's, you know, it said cancer." And it's, you know, it's funny but not funny because that's it's funny but not funny because that's it's funny but not funny because that's actually the reality for people looking actually the reality for people looking actually the reality for people looking up, you know, a symptom that nowadays up, you know, a symptom that nowadays up, you know, a symptom that nowadays it's like, well, it could just be an it's like, well, it could just be an it's like, well, it could just be an ingrown toenail, but chances are it's ingrown toenail, but chances are it's ingrown toenail, but chances are it's probably cancer. And, you know, people probably cancer. And, you know, people probably cancer. And, you know, people get freaked out like, oh my gosh, I need get freaked out like, oh my gosh, I need get freaked out like, oh my gosh, I need to get to the doctor because what if I to get to the doctor because what if I to get to the doctor because what if I have toe cancer? and and now, you know, have toe cancer? and and now, you know, have toe cancer? and and now, you know, we're we're having access to information we're we're having access to information we're we're having access to information that is being driven by AI and it's not that is being driven by AI and it's not that is being driven by AI and it's not necessarily because they're they're necessarily because they're they're necessarily because they're they're pushing a pushing a pushing a um uh narrative that is for profit. You um uh narrative that is for profit. You um uh narrative that is for profit. You know, if you think about WebMD, WebMD is know, if you think about WebMD, WebMD is know, if you think about WebMD, WebMD is pushing people to conventional medicine pushing people to conventional medicine pushing people to conventional medicine based on fear. It's like, okay, you based on fear. It's like, okay, you based on fear. It's like, okay, you know, could be cancer. And then what do know, could be cancer. And then what do know, could be cancer. And then what do you do? You go directly into the medical you do? You go directly into the medical you do? You go directly into the medical system and insurance companies are system and insurance companies are system and insurance companies are profiting. The conventional medic profiting. The conventional medic profiting. The conventional medic medical system is is profiting. They're medical system is is profiting. They're medical system is is profiting. They're running CT scans that they're charging running CT scans that they're charging running CT scans that they're charging $100,000 to your insurance and you know, $100,000 to your insurance and you know, $100,000 to your insurance and you know, and and the cycle goes on. So this is and and the cycle goes on. So this is and and the cycle goes on. So this is one of the benefits of of AI is that you one of the benefits of of AI is that you one of the benefits of of AI is that you know there there is you can speak more know there there is you can speak more know there there is you can speak more to it but I don't want to say there's no to it but I don't want to say there's no to it but I don't want to say there's no bias at all because I again I don't want bias at all because I again I don't want bias at all because I again I don't want to be polarized but with AI to be polarized but with AI to be polarized but with AI the biasism comes on the the program the biasism comes on the the program the biasism comes on the the program that AI runs on uh for the most part you that AI runs on uh for the most part you that AI runs on uh for the most part you know when you think about something know when you think about something know when you think about something that's biased that comes from an that's biased that comes from an that's biased that comes from an emotional imbalance you know we have an emotional imbalance you know we have an emotional imbalance you know we have an emotional emotional emotional belief system that something has more belief system that something has more belief system that something has more benefits or more drawbacks that creates benefits or more drawbacks that creates benefits or more drawbacks that creates a a a bias. AI doesn't have emotions. AI is bias. AI doesn't have emotions. AI is bias. AI doesn't have emotions. AI is ran on a program. So just as long as the ran on a program. So just as long as the ran on a program. So just as long as the program has been written or has blocks program has been written or has blocks program has been written or has blocks um to remove those biased algorithms um um to remove those biased algorithms um um to remove those biased algorithms um which unfortunately uh a lot of these which unfortunately uh a lot of these which unfortunately uh a lot of these big-time corporations and developers big-time corporations and developers big-time corporations and developers they want to control people um so they want to control people um so they want to control people um so they'll have those algorithms in there. they'll have those algorithms in there. they'll have those algorithms in there. Um, but we're getting we're going to Um, but we're getting we're going to Um, but we're getting we're going to have both. You know, when it comes to have both. You know, when it comes to have both. You know, when it comes to the fears and you talk about it, you're the fears and you talk about it, you're the fears and you talk about it, you're going to have people with a specific going to have people with a specific going to have people with a specific agenda and uh unbalanced attachment to agenda and uh unbalanced attachment to agenda and uh unbalanced attachment to greed and power and they're going to greed and power and they're going to greed and power and they're going to create those and that's going to be create those and that's going to be create those and that's going to be what's called centralized what's called centralized what's called centralized AI. Centralized, it's owned by a group, AI. Centralized, it's owned by a group, AI. Centralized, it's owned by a group, a corporation, etc. And then you're a corporation, etc. And then you're a corporation, etc. And then you're going to have a decentralized version of going to have a decentralized version of going to have a decentralized version of AI and that's, you know, open source. AI and that's, you know, open source. AI and that's, you know, open source. That's uh everything. You can see all That's uh everything. You can see all That's uh everything. You can see all the programs. Nothing's hidden. It's the programs. Nothing's hidden. It's the programs. Nothing's hidden. It's it's should be hopefully uh designed it's should be hopefully uh designed it's should be hopefully uh designed intelligently um so that it is um non intelligently um so that it is um non intelligently um so that it is um non quote unquote attached to biasism, quote unquote attached to biasism, quote unquote attached to biasism, emotional uh control of people. But when emotional uh control of people. But when emotional uh control of people. But when we have that data, then it's just, you we have that data, then it's just, you we have that data, then it's just, you know, my favorite quote in life is the know, my favorite quote in life is the know, my favorite quote in life is the quality of your life is dictated by the quality of your life is dictated by the quality of your life is dictated by the quality of the questions you ask. So, if quality of the questions you ask. So, if quality of the questions you ask. So, if you're going to ask AI a question you're going to ask AI a question you're going to ask AI a question connected back to the big toe, you could connected back to the big toe, you could connected back to the big toe, you could be like, um, hey AI, what if you have a be like, um, hey AI, what if you have a be like, um, hey AI, what if you have a name? Um, you know, what could be the name? Um, you know, what could be the name? Um, you know, what could be the top issues causing physical, chemical, top issues causing physical, chemical, top issues causing physical, chemical, neurological, metaphysical, meridian neurological, metaphysical, meridian neurological, metaphysical, meridian pain in my big toe. pain in my big toe. pain in my big toe. And it would list out this is connected And it would list out this is connected And it would list out this is connected to L5 nerve. this is connected to this to L5 nerve. this is connected to this to L5 nerve. this is connected to this meridian, this is connected and it could meridian, this is connected and it could meridian, this is connected and it could give you all these possibilities give you all these possibilities give you all these possibilities um so that we have more awareness so um so that we have more awareness so um so that we have more awareness so that we can be like oh yeah that that that we can be like oh yeah that that that we can be like oh yeah that that skin rash is literally falling in a skin rash is literally falling in a skin rash is literally falling in a meridian it's a meridian issue you know meridian it's a meridian issue you know meridian it's a meridian issue you know that's connected to this organ so is it that's connected to this organ so is it that's connected to this organ so is it the organ creating the dysfunction in the organ creating the dysfunction in the organ creating the dysfunction in the meridian or is it just you know the meridian or is it just you know the meridian or is it just you know imbalance of chie flow I just need some imbalance of chie flow I just need some imbalance of chie flow I just need some acupuncture or some red light or laser acupuncture or some red light or laser acupuncture or some red light or laser therapy on it so it it can allow us to therapy on it so it it can allow us to therapy on it so it it can allow us to get more efficient, you know, kind of get more efficient, you know, kind of get more efficient, you know, kind of like all that time you spent creating like all that time you spent creating like all that time you spent creating what I call the Bible. what I call the Bible. what I call the Bible. Um, but what's fun now is that you can Um, but what's fun now is that you can Um, but what's fun now is that you can literally have AI do what you are literally have AI do what you are literally have AI do what you are actually spending the hours doing. So, actually spending the hours doing. So, actually spending the hours doing. So, and that can allow you to what? Take all and that can allow you to what? Take all and that can allow you to what? Take all that time and you can spend it with your that time and you can spend it with your that time and you can spend it with your kid. Take all that time and you could kid. Take all that time and you could kid. Take all that time and you could grow a bigger business. Take all that grow a bigger business. Take all that grow a bigger business. Take all that time and you could take a nap. like you time and you could take a nap. like you time and you could take a nap. like you can use that extra time to serve can use that extra time to serve can use that extra time to serve yourself that you were putting into yourself that you were putting into yourself that you were putting into something else. And that's a reason that something else. And that's a reason that something else. And that's a reason that I'm I'm I'm I'm very excited for the potential of AI I'm very excited for the potential of AI I'm very excited for the potential of AI because it can actually give us what because it can actually give us what because it can actually give us what we're really designed to do is to live. we're really designed to do is to live. we're really designed to do is to live. And I also think that, you know, for the And I also think that, you know, for the And I also think that, you know, for the the person listening who, you know, is the person listening who, you know, is the person listening who, you know, is is like, well, how does this apply to me is like, well, how does this apply to me is like, well, how does this apply to me or how how can AI benefit me? or how how can AI benefit me? or how how can AI benefit me? is being able to access information is being able to access information is being able to access information that's not solely fear driven. you know that's not solely fear driven. you know that's not solely fear driven. you know like you said and I think that's a huge like you said and I think that's a huge like you said and I think that's a huge huge point that I want to reiterate is huge point that I want to reiterate is huge point that I want to reiterate is it is the quality of the question that it is the quality of the question that it is the quality of the question that you you you ask the the search engine you ask the ask the the search engine you ask the ask the the search engine you ask the you know the AI because for those of you you know the AI because for those of you you know the AI because for those of you that are business owners or you're using that are business owners or you're using that are business owners or you're using you know AI at all if it's for because you know AI at all if it's for because you know AI at all if it's for because you're an influencer and you're using it you're an influencer and you're using it you're an influencer and you're using it for social media you know you see online for social media you know you see online for social media you know you see online nowadays that there are people with nowadays that there are people with nowadays that there are people with Instagram accounts that are solely Instagram accounts that are solely Instagram accounts that are solely helping people with the right quote helping people with the right quote helping people with the right quote unquote prompts to put into chat GPT or unquote prompts to put into chat GPT or unquote prompts to put into chat GPT or to put into platforms like CRA and the to put into platforms like CRA and the to put into platforms like CRA and the prompts when you when you look at it prompts when you when you look at it prompts when you when you look at it it's just hyper hypersp specific you it's just hyper hypersp specific you it's just hyper hypersp specific you know it's uh if you want to grow your know it's uh if you want to grow your know it's uh if you want to grow your social media account it's giving you you social media account it's giving you you social media account it's giving you you know here is the exact way the exact know here is the exact way the exact know here is the exact way the exact prompt, the exact phrase of what to ask prompt, the exact phrase of what to ask prompt, the exact phrase of what to ask chat GPT in order to get chat GPT in order to get chat GPT in order to get hyperspecific 30 days of social media hyperspecific 30 days of social media hyperspecific 30 days of social media content content content inspiration. And it's usually not a inspiration. And it's usually not a inspiration. And it's usually not a sentence, it's usually a paragraph. And sentence, it's usually a paragraph. And sentence, it's usually a paragraph. And the more hyper specific you are with the more hyper specific you are with the more hyper specific you are with what you're asking it, the more hyper what you're asking it, the more hyper what you're asking it, the more hyper specific or the better quality of the specific or the better quality of the specific or the better quality of the answer that you get. And so that I think answer that you get. And so that I think answer that you get. And so that I think is very very important. And then the is very very important. And then the is very very important. And then the secondary part of it is the fact that secondary part of it is the fact that secondary part of it is the fact that most of what we've searched, especially most of what we've searched, especially most of what we've searched, especially when it comes to health, has been very when it comes to health, has been very when it comes to health, has been very fear-based. You know, I I I would even fear-based. You know, I I I would even fear-based. You know, I I I would even find myself finding these articles of uh find myself finding these articles of uh find myself finding these articles of uh you know, I'm looking up something you know, I'm looking up something you know, I'm looking up something simple and it's going to send me a simple and it's going to send me a simple and it's going to send me a series of of peer-reviewed articles series of of peer-reviewed articles series of of peer-reviewed articles about all of the negative sides of this about all of the negative sides of this about all of the negative sides of this thing. and you find that you're getting thing. and you find that you're getting thing. and you find that you're getting a more balance of information through a more balance of information through a more balance of information through what AI is producing when you're what AI is producing when you're what AI is producing when you're searching something, especially if it's searching something, especially if it's searching something, especially if it's a a a hyperspecific question. Yep. Come on, Nick. You got nothing. That's just that's just an I mean That's just that's just an I mean That's just that's just an I mean honestly that's what people um pay us to honestly that's what people um pay us to honestly that's what people um pay us to do is to to ask better quality questions do is to to ask better quality questions do is to to ask better quality questions that nobody has ever asked and to gather that nobody has ever asked and to gather that nobody has ever asked and to gather that data so that we can provide um a that data so that we can provide um a that data so that we can provide um a resolution a solution. That's what resolution a solution. That's what resolution a solution. That's what that's what I always find funny is that that's what I always find funny is that that's what I always find funny is that most people come to us uh seeking to most people come to us uh seeking to most people come to us uh seeking to resolve a problem um which is just how resolve a problem um which is just how resolve a problem um which is just how we're programmed. But it's understanding we're programmed. But it's understanding we're programmed. But it's understanding that if you want to make a change, you that if you want to make a change, you that if you want to make a change, you have to go farther out. So the the story have to go farther out. So the the story have to go farther out. So the the story I ever heard is like if you want to make I ever heard is like if you want to make I ever heard is like if you want to make a change in your community, well, it's a change in your community, well, it's a change in your community, well, it's impossible to make a change by working impossible to make a change by working impossible to make a change by working in your community because what dictates in your community because what dictates in your community because what dictates your community is the the larger your community is the the larger your community is the the larger governing energy of field, which would governing energy of field, which would governing energy of field, which would be, you know, the state, the country, be, you know, the state, the country, be, you know, the state, the country, whatever. And so if you want to make a whatever. And so if you want to make a whatever. And so if you want to make a change smaller, you have to work at the change smaller, you have to work at the change smaller, you have to work at the change bigger. So, we're always looking change bigger. So, we're always looking change bigger. So, we're always looking and asking questions with our clients and asking questions with our clients and asking questions with our clients for that bigger picture because we know for that bigger picture because we know for that bigger picture because we know if they want to resolve the problem if they want to resolve the problem if they want to resolve the problem sustainably that we actually have to sustainably that we actually have to sustainably that we actually have to work on something that's bigger than the work on something that's bigger than the work on something that's bigger than the problem and they're always kind of blown problem and they're always kind of blown problem and they're always kind of blown away because, you know, we're doctors away because, you know, we're doctors away because, you know, we're doctors and that's not how doctors are trained. and that's not how doctors are trained. and that's not how doctors are trained. Doctors are trained, oh, you have a Doctors are trained, oh, you have a Doctors are trained, oh, you have a problem, let's let's fix the problem. Um problem, let's let's fix the problem. Um problem, let's let's fix the problem. Um but that doesn't necessarily increase but that doesn't necessarily increase but that doesn't necessarily increase the quality of life and projection of uh the quality of life and projection of uh the quality of life and projection of uh of one. Well, and I also think that you of one. Well, and I also think that you of one. Well, and I also think that you know one of the final points to drive know one of the final points to drive know one of the final points to drive home is that information is not home is that information is not home is that information is not necessarily going to yield great necessarily going to yield great necessarily going to yield great outcomes because information is outcomes because information is outcomes because information is information. Information has to be information. Information has to be information. Information has to be paired with critical thinking and it has paired with critical thinking and it has paired with critical thinking and it has to be paired with strategy. And you to be paired with strategy. And you to be paired with strategy. And you know, we always say it's not about what know, we always say it's not about what know, we always say it's not about what you do, it's how you do it. And we've you do, it's how you do it. And we've you do, it's how you do it. And we've definitely been in an era for a very definitely been in an era for a very definitely been in an era for a very long time of of information, but people long time of of information, but people long time of of information, but people are really frustrated at this point are really frustrated at this point are really frustrated at this point because it's a lot of information and because it's a lot of information and because it's a lot of information and it's a lot of mixed information. It's a it's a lot of mixed information. It's a it's a lot of mixed information. It's a lot of conflicting information. And lot of conflicting information. And lot of conflicting information. And especially when you get into the world especially when you get into the world especially when you get into the world of health and wellness, you know, I find of health and wellness, you know, I find of health and wellness, you know, I find myself as a practitioner being [ ] myself as a practitioner being [ ] myself as a practitioner being [ ] enraged half the time scrolling through enraged half the time scrolling through enraged half the time scrolling through my Instagram account because it's like, my Instagram account because it's like, my Instagram account because it's like, "Be carnivore. No, be paleo or keto or "Be carnivore. No, be paleo or keto or "Be carnivore. No, be paleo or keto or this or that." And I'm just like, like, this or that." And I'm just like, like, this or that." And I'm just like, like, "Take this supplement. This is going to "Take this supplement. This is going to "Take this supplement. This is going to resolve your [ ] cellulite." I'm resolve your [ ] cellulite." I'm resolve your [ ] cellulite." I'm like, "Oh my gosh." Like, I can't even. like, "Oh my gosh." Like, I can't even. like, "Oh my gosh." Like, I can't even. And and it's just being able to take And and it's just being able to take And and it's just being able to take that step back with the critical that step back with the critical that step back with the critical thinking of, you know, okay, is one one thinking of, you know, okay, is one one thinking of, you know, okay, is one one pill or one diet a fit for everyone? No. pill or one diet a fit for everyone? No. pill or one diet a fit for everyone? No. Uh will it serve a purpose at the right Uh will it serve a purpose at the right Uh will it serve a purpose at the right time? Probably. But at the end of the time? Probably. But at the end of the time? Probably. But at the end of the day, we are integrated beings. We have day, we are integrated beings. We have day, we are integrated beings. We have an integrated uh life when it comes to an integrated uh life when it comes to an integrated uh life when it comes to all the things that make up life. you all the things that make up life. you all the things that make up life. you your life is made up of family and your life is made up of family and your life is made up of family and relationships and money and purpose and relationships and money and purpose and relationships and money and purpose and vocation and health. Like it's not one vocation and health. Like it's not one vocation and health. Like it's not one thing. So when we look at health, we thing. So when we look at health, we thing. So when we look at health, we need to stop thinking that it's one need to stop thinking that it's one need to stop thinking that it's one thing and it's really just about having thing and it's really just about having thing and it's really just about having the information matched with the the information matched with the the information matched with the strategy that's appropriate for you. strategy that's appropriate for you. strategy that's appropriate for you. Because keto might be good for you for 2 Because keto might be good for you for 2 Because keto might be good for you for 2 weeks, but then maybe your body needs weeks, but then maybe your body needs weeks, but then maybe your body needs something different. And it's hard to something different. And it's hard to something different. And it's hard to have that have that have that information unless you know you have information unless you know you have information unless you know you have someone who's asking the right questions someone who's asking the right questions someone who's asking the right questions and driving the strategy based off of and driving the strategy based off of and driving the strategy based off of actual data. So this information age actual data. So this information age actual data. So this information age that we are in that's going to that we are in that's going to that we are in that's going to only get bigger, I guess you can say, is only get bigger, I guess you can say, is only get bigger, I guess you can say, is don't be the person that just gobbles up don't be the person that just gobbles up don't be the person that just gobbles up tons of information and then doesn't tons of information and then doesn't tons of information and then doesn't know what to do with it. If anything, know what to do with it. If anything, know what to do with it. If anything, take in relevant take in relevant take in relevant information and then have the the right information and then have the the right information and then have the the right team or the right mentors or the right team or the right mentors or the right team or the right mentors or the right people to help you use the information people to help you use the information people to help you use the information to increase the quality of your life. to increase the quality of your life. to increase the quality of your life. Yeah, I think one of the simple ways as Yeah, I think one of the simple ways as Yeah, I think one of the simple ways as we're wrapping it up is to think of, you we're wrapping it up is to think of, you we're wrapping it up is to think of, you know, know, know, because what's most important is our because what's most important is our because what's most important is our choices in life that dictates uh supply choices in life that dictates uh supply choices in life that dictates uh supply and demand. So, we've already gone and demand. So, we've already gone and demand. So, we've already gone through this process of our food quote through this process of our food quote through this process of our food quote unquote being ruined um through this unquote being ruined um through this unquote being ruined um through this mass production of not caring about the mass production of not caring about the mass production of not caring about the actual nutrients and the quality of the actual nutrients and the quality of the actual nutrients and the quality of the soil, etc. It's it's the same thing soil, etc. It's it's the same thing soil, etc. It's it's the same thing that's going to be creating this AI um that's going to be creating this AI um that's going to be creating this AI um span. So we need to get become aware and span. So we need to get become aware and span. So we need to get become aware and and not just choose blindly that not all and not just choose blindly that not all and not just choose blindly that not all foods created equally. Not all AI is foods created equally. Not all AI is foods created equally. Not all AI is created equally. So become created equally. So become created equally. So become aware understand I'm not saying that aware understand I'm not saying that aware understand I'm not saying that sensualize is necessarily a bad thing sensualize is necessarily a bad thing sensualize is necessarily a bad thing but you got to if you're using a but you got to if you're using a but you got to if you're using a centralized system it's about doing a centralized system it's about doing a centralized system it's about doing a little bit of research and knowing who little bit of research and knowing who little bit of research and knowing who created it. What's their intention created it. What's their intention created it. What's their intention behind it? Um and then from that behind it? Um and then from that behind it? Um and then from that understanding make decisions. is is this understanding make decisions. is is this understanding make decisions. is is this going to better serve me or should I be going to better serve me or should I be going to better serve me or should I be actively picking out a decentralized actively picking out a decentralized actively picking out a decentralized system so that my mind's not just given system so that my mind's not just given system so that my mind's not just given uh answers and information that might be uh answers and information that might be uh answers and information that might be polarized and that is that is one of the polarized and that is that is one of the polarized and that is that is one of the problems that we've had for so long uh problems that we've had for so long uh problems that we've had for so long uh through this what I call web 2 internet through this what I call web 2 internet through this what I call web 2 internet phase and moving over uh to blockchain phase and moving over uh to blockchain phase and moving over uh to blockchain and AI is that we're we're given the and AI is that we're we're given the and AI is that we're we're given the opportunity now and it's luckily we have opportunity now and it's luckily we have opportunity now and it's luckily we have that opportunity cuz we didn't in the that opportunity cuz we didn't in the that opportunity cuz we didn't in the past, but now it's time to choose past, but now it's time to choose past, but now it's time to choose differently. differently. differently. Yeah. And just to simplify that Yeah. And just to simplify that Yeah. And just to simplify that quickly, we have been No, I I I just quickly, we have been No, I I I just quickly, we have been No, I I I just think that just saying we always say think that just saying we always say think that just saying we always say things in different ways, and I don't things in different ways, and I don't things in different ways, and I don't think what you what just said is overly think what you what just said is overly think what you what just said is overly confusing, but I think that people don't confusing, but I think that people don't confusing, but I think that people don't realize is we've been in a centralized realize is we've been in a centralized realize is we've been in a centralized system where the information that's system where the information that's system where the information that's available to us on the internet, on the available to us on the internet, on the available to us on the internet, on the TV, has been controlled. it has been TV, has been controlled. it has been TV, has been controlled. it has been controlled in order to create a lot of controlled in order to create a lot of controlled in order to create a lot of the societal norms and the programming the societal norms and the programming the societal norms and the programming which is a lot of things that we talk which is a lot of things that we talk which is a lot of things that we talk about in all of our podcasts. You know, about in all of our podcasts. You know, about in all of our podcasts. You know, we always tell people it's not your we always tell people it's not your we always tell people it's not your fault. It's not your fault that you fault. It's not your fault that you fault. It's not your fault that you don't know how to take care of your don't know how to take care of your don't know how to take care of your health. It's not your fault if you feel health. It's not your fault if you feel health. It's not your fault if you feel conflicted about what to eat. It's not conflicted about what to eat. It's not conflicted about what to eat. It's not your fault if you don't know how to be your fault if you don't know how to be your fault if you don't know how to be the best parent. It's not your fault if the best parent. It's not your fault if the best parent. It's not your fault if you don't know how to run your [ ] you don't know how to run your [ ] you don't know how to run your [ __ ] business. It's just all of the business. It's just all of the business. It's just all of the information that we've been given has information that we've been given has information that we've been given has been very controlled because of a been very controlled because of a been very controlled because of a centralized system. And so as we might centralized system. And so as we might centralized system. And so as we might be apprehensive about this idea of AI be apprehensive about this idea of AI be apprehensive about this idea of AI and and you know have our concerns about and and you know have our concerns about and and you know have our concerns about it, that is very healthy. But what AI, it, that is very healthy. But what AI, it, that is very healthy. But what AI, one of the things that AI is bringing on one of the things that AI is bringing on one of the things that AI is bringing on the positive side is a decentralization the positive side is a decentralization the positive side is a decentralization so that we have access to more so that we have access to more so that we have access to more information and more information that is information and more information that is information and more information that is not necessarily being driven by a not necessarily being driven by a not necessarily being driven by a specific agenda. And I and I so again we specific agenda. And I and I so again we specific agenda. And I and I so again we always want to be very very conscious always want to be very very conscious always want to be very very conscious and we want to critically think and we and we want to critically think and we and we want to critically think and we want to use our brains as we make want to use our brains as we make want to use our brains as we make decisions for ourselves, our lives, our decisions for ourselves, our lives, our decisions for ourselves, our lives, our families. uh but understanding that you families. uh but understanding that you families. uh but understanding that you know we can fear AI but it is know we can fear AI but it is know we can fear AI but it is bringing something that we haven't had bringing something that we haven't had bringing something that we haven't had in I want to say a really long time in I want to say a really long time in I want to say a really long time maybe ever which is access to maybe ever which is access to maybe ever which is access to information that is not solely biased information that is not solely biased information that is not solely biased for corporations profit and government. So we're just going to mic drop there. I So we're just going to mic drop there. I So we're just going to mic drop there. I mean, I think there might always be that mean, I think there might always be that mean, I think there might always be that running in the background, but yeah. running in the background, but yeah. running in the background, but yeah. Yeah. You told me not to get deep. So, Yeah. You told me not to get deep. So, Yeah. You told me not to get deep. So, when Nick pauses like that, it means when Nick pauses like that, it means when Nick pauses like that, it means like he's about to go deep, but now he's like he's about to go deep, but now he's like he's about to go deep, but now he's worried about it. worried about it. worried about it. Yes, ma'am. Yes. Yes, ma'am. Yes. Yes, ma'am. Yes. All right, guys. We're gonna leave it All right, guys. We're gonna leave it All right, guys.
