Not surprisingly, technology and healthcare continue to converge.
From AI-driven drug discovery to digital health platforms, the line between tech and medicine is growing thinner by the day.
Now artificial intelligence is a big part of this.
It helps diagnose faster plant treatments and ID early risks.
Now gene editing tech is also quickly advancing.
This could be used to target diseases.
Gene editing company CRISPR is up over 60% year to date, and robots are set to play a big part in the future of surgery, but intuitive surgical is down about 16% this year.
Joining me this morning to weigh in is Dr.
Jared Oxendorf, founder of Achieve Wellness.
Good morning and thank you so much for joining me.
So what developments have you seen across the healthcare industry this year?
Well, good morning, Remy, and thanks for having me on again.
It was just back in July that we were out on the stock exchange floor, and it was absolutely incredible to be there.
So there's been a ton of change, right?
I mean, with this new administration coming in, uh, we have seen many different things happen with, with Bobby Kennedy, the new HHS director, and there is a kind of a storm that's a brewing.
Uh, as far as what we're seeing in healthcare, I think there's a lot of focus that's happening with our kids, the next generation, and ultimately, what are, where are kids going and where are we transporting because let's face it, right now we have the sickest generation of kids to ever walk the face of the earth.
And tell us, what role do you artificial intelligence and trends such as gene editing and telehealth actually play in the future of healthcare?
You know, it's going to be really interesting to see where they go with that and where AI goes.
I know that, you know, the American people and across the world, they're trying to figure out like how do we get a doctor for every single person so somebody can just live stream in, zoom in.
We can talk to a bot, talk to a robot, and ultimately get a prescription medication, but I, I really, you know, I, I look back and I honestly cautious people as far as like where is that direction going because is that the reality of where we want to go?
Do we want to be in this digital matrix?
Do we want to have more, um, kind of, uh, I guess, uh, you know, surveillance over us?
Do we want more of our data out there to be able to be disseminated across different fields?
Anytime that somebody is diagnosed with something that goes into To your medical record, which the insurance companies can now data harvest and ultimately see if you have preexisting conditions.
And so one of your contributors actually, Elvilio Silvera, is coming out to our Freedom Summit in two weeks to actually talk about how do we actually start stepping away from the traditional insurance model to actually get into more of a decentralized or even a more safer or Uh, more pride type of sector where we don't have to worry about our data getting leaked or our data getting breached or even mined by some of the insurance companies.
Yeah, so with so much information out there, what do you recommend for Americans who are trying to live healthier lives?
Well, I think that, you know, first and foremost we have to look at, you know, a lot of the data that's out there as far as like where are chronic disease and chronic illnesses coming from.
And you know, when we look at a lot of these environmental factors, we can look at our foods, we can look at our nutrition, we can look at neuro neurologically, you know, what's happening to our nervous system, what's happening with the epigenetics all the way down to our cells and how that's affecting us.
Maha report that Bobby released, you know, a few months back, it's showing exactly where a lot of these environmental chemicals are coming from, but it also is showing exactly the chronic illnesses and disease that are actually starting to happen within our kids.
I mean, we have, you know, nearly 40% of our kids from 0 to 17 in the United States have a chronic condition right now.
Most of our kids are, are.
I mean 75% of our American youth from ages, you know, 0 to 24 are on the obesity spectrum and overweight spectrum which are nearly unfit for our military service.
So there's a chronic disease crisis that's happening that we need to be aware of in order to make sure that we're taking forefront in it to make sure that we're saving our kids, saving the next generation, ultimately making us healthier again.
And finally, we have less than 60 seconds here, but the FDA is restricting the use of petroleum-based synthetic dyes by the end of next year.
What impact do you think this will have?
I think it's going to have a tremendous impact.
I think it's going to cut down on a lot of chronic inflammation.
It's going to cut down on a lot of just different dysfunction that's happening inside of our bodies as far as our body's ability to detox it, get it out of us.
So I think you're going to see a tremendous amount of uptick with kids and child's health.
And so it's going to be amazing to see what happens in the next few months.
Ultimately we're going to be talking about this in the next couple of weeks at our Global Health Freedom Summit, October 12th here in Alexandria, Minnesota.
