The Future You: How Artificial Intelligence Can Help You Get Healthier, Stress Less, and Live Longer by Harry Glorikian "AI is all around us. Self-driving cars. Smart personal assistants-think S...iri, Cortana, or Google Now-or Alexa, Amazon's cloud-based voice service that is available on literally hundreds of millions of devices. Voice-to-text. Manufacturing robots. Facial recognition software. Security surveillance. Automated financial investing and social media monitoring. Smart homes that control themselves when their owners are out of town. The list is endless. "All of the above make life easier for us. But in this new book by Moneyball Medicine author/podcaster Harry Glorikian, the spotlight is on how AI can (and will, and in many cases already does) make us healthier." -from the Foreword to The Future You by Dr. Bob Arnot Do you have a smartphone and a wearable device, such as an Apple Watch or a Fitbit? Most likely yes, right? Well, then, as Glorikian tells us, there are already numerous apps available for download that " ... can also continuously monitor temperature, calorie intake, blood glucose, menstruation cycle, respiration rate, stress levels, brain waves, or just about any other aspect of physical and mental health you want." They identify areas where improvement is needed, and tell us how to improve our health in those areas.

Anyway, guys, we have another brilliant author on the show. He is the author of the new book that came out December 1st, 2021, The Future You, How Artificial Intelligence Can Help You Get Health healthier, stress less, and live longer. That's always important, I think. That sounds like something we should do.
Starting point is 00:01:51 Harry Glorikian is on the show with us today. He's going to be talking to us about his amazing book and his experience that he has put into it and shared. He is a global business expert, healthcare entrepreneur, podcaster, and author of this great book. For over three decades, he has built a breadth of successful ventures in the healthcare space, and he is well known for being at the forefront of helping invest in and grow innovative healthcare companies that are tackling groundbreaking areas of healthcare and biotechnology. A sought-after speaker, he is frequently quoted in the media and rarely asked to assess, influence, and be part of
Starting point is 00:02:31 the innovative concepts and trends. He also holds four U.S. patents in telecommunications and has others pending. Welcome to the show, Harry. Thanks for taking time off from your pending U.S. patents. Hey, Chris, thank you very much for having me. Thanks for coming. Congratulations on the new book. Give us your plugs so people can find you on the internet. My website is www.glorikian.com, G-L-O-R-I-K-I-A-N.com, but they can also find my book on Amazon or Barnes and Noble. There you go. So what motivated you want to write this book? I've been writing about data and how it's changing healthcare and life sciences a lot,
Starting point is 00:03:13 but I started to realize that all these technologies are now becoming totally accessible to just about anybody. And when my Apple Watch actually beat me one day and said, hey, have you ever been diagnosed with sleep apnea? And I said, yes. And when my Apple Watch actually beat me one day and said, Hey, have you ever been diagnosed with sleep apnea? And I said, Yes. And then it said, Are you being treated for sleep apnea? And I said, Yes, you start to realize that these different technologies can help you identify things that might be going in the wrong direction very early so that you can get in front of them before they become a major problem. And so I wanted to really let people know what's out there and how they can incorporate it into their lives. Wow. Give us an overall arcing view of the book and some of the
Starting point is 00:03:57 stuff you've entailed in it. The book covers everything from different types of apps to different wearables to, God forbid, you have cancer, how you should think about things like genomic or genetic screening. I have a whole chapter on the vaccine and what really drove that forward faster. And people will get a very good idea of what's available today and how to make changes in their life today that will either help them or someone that they... What are some of your favorite tips and tricks that you use in the book that you advise people on what to do? Oh, I always tell people like whatever is, you know, ailing them, they may have to find something specific that would do that.
Starting point is 00:04:38 But simple things like a wireless scale to let them know like when things are going on and off track or I have a you know wireless blood pressure cuff for the silent killer you don't even know it's happening until something is going wrong and just give you these early warning signs one of them is just monitoring my sleep I've figured out so many things that were disturbing my sleep that now I've been able to really optimize it to get a lot more deep sleep, which means I've got a lot more energy during the day. Simple things like that, I think can make a huge difference in how happy you are, how less stressed you are, and the healthier you are, the longer you should live.
Starting point is 00:05:24 Yeah. I've learned that you got to get that sleep, man, or else people die. People get murdered. And the judge says, that's not a good thing. I can't do that anymore. But sleep is like everything. And it's a time where your body gets to rest. It gets to rebuild stuff. It gets to do whatever sort of process it needs to change your oil and do all the stuff it does probably when you're your thing. And yeah, a lot of people don't realize how important that is or they don't get it because they don't get it. I know I had a real big problem with sleep, especially during the early days of COVID. But during COVID, I had the hardest time sleeping. I would sleep for four hours. I'd take a nap for four hours and it was just killing me because my body would never get really that deep REM sleep.
Starting point is 00:06:05 Sometimes in the second four hours, it would get that deep REM sleep that I needed where you're just zonked and you're drooling all over your pillow. And that's the sleep that I get that really repairs me. Now that I, about five months ago, I started weightlifting. And man, I have to have that eight hours of sleep because I need my body to recover. If you think about it, right, the way that people get tortured is they restrict their sleep. And that does amazing things. So sleep is critical. And if you use these monitoring technologies, you get a good idea.
Starting point is 00:06:35 Did that glass of wine kill my deep sleep? Or, you know, did I eat a little too late? Or am I dehydrated? And small changes, not big changes to make a big difference in how much restful sleep you get and how much more energy you have during the day. Yeah, it makes a big difference and you notice it the more older you get, but when you're younger, you don't quite notice it because you bounce back from things like drinking. And I had to give up alcohol because I just felt the drag for two to three days the older I got.
Starting point is 00:07:05 And it just became, do you want to have a good time for a couple hours and then pay for it for the next three days? I just got really better at listening to my body and tuning in to what my body was. I went vegan and lost a lot of weight. One of the keys, though, was, and we review a lot of scales on the Chris Voss Show, but one of my favorites is the Withings Scale. I don't get paid to say that. And I love the Withings scale, their body. I think I use their body aware or something like the body something. We have two of them here at the house for me.
Starting point is 00:07:33 And I love their scales. Their scale helped me to get tuned in and lose, what was it, close to 100 pounds. 2016, I just lost another. And someone put it back on. And so that seeing every day what was going on and then the nicer withing scale, it tells you different stuff like your pulse and your body fat mass, muscle mass and bone mass, I think it is. But yeah, just seeing that data every day and seeing if you're going down or going up, you're on the right track. What am I doing doing especially with me bodybuilding i
Starting point is 00:08:05 can i sometimes i can do arm stay and i wake up the next morning and i'm up two pounds and i'm like okay is that just from all that pump that i did last night and yeah it will be like the next day it'll go down a pound or two or something that's it it tends to be a little bit all over the place but it depends on if i'm pushing up to new limits and stuff. But yeah, getting that feedback is important. We've reviewed plenty of those arm cuff too things. I think With Things Makes One that we reviewed. Those are really important. But yeah, they're really
Starting point is 00:08:33 easy monitors. What do you use for sleep and monitoring your sleep? There was something I saw where you put on your finger and it attaches to your finger and wrist. Well, that's a different one. So I use AutoSleep, which integrates with the Apple Watch. I've been using that the longest, but I've also been playing with the Aura Ring
Starting point is 00:08:53 and then I also downstairs, it's charging right now, but I also have a Whoop band. So I'm always looking at what the data says and what it's trying to tell me so that I can get a better idea of how these different technologies work. Right now, AutoSleep seems to have a trend of my overall sleep because it's the longest. So that's what I use at the blood pressure cuff. This is a Withings. The scale I have is similar to yours. It's a Withings scale. And then I also have one of these EKG monitors that's from AliveCore.
Starting point is 00:09:22 These are about $80 and it'll take a six-parameter look at my heart just sitting here at my desk. Now, is that the one I've seen the commercial where the guys are interviewing people at a booth, and they're talking about doing the EKG thing on them? And they're like, hey, you can do this really cheap. Does that work good? I don't know if the commercial is the same one you're talking about,
Starting point is 00:09:42 but yeah, you can put this, say it has a little sticky, you can put it on the back of your phone and do it from wherever you are. Do you put your wrist against it or your chest against it? Nope. Just your fingers on top like this. Oh yeah. Yeah. That is the commercial. Yep. And it takes six different parameters of your heart. And then if you sign up for it, so there's an artificial intelligence system, which will look at the trace and see if there's a problem and then you can send it to your doctor, all these technologies. I mean, if you go back five, six years ago, you had to go to your doctor. Yeah. Now you can have all these things at home. And so I always, when I go to my doctor, I have a longitudinal view of
Starting point is 00:10:21 all my data and I show him and he can look back six months and go, yeah, everything looks good. As opposed to that one time I go into his office and I always say, when you take your car and you say it's making a noise, it never makes the noise right then. But if you have a longitudinal view, your doctor can look at it and be like, oh, I am seeing abnormality or a problem or something that's up with your heart or your blood pressure. And, you know, let's dig into that a little bit further. That always happens to me. I always go into, whenever I go to the doctor, which is really rare when I get the flu,
Starting point is 00:10:54 and they'll put that blood pressure thing on me, that cuff on me. And I hate that giant thing. Like I've always hated it. There's some probably childhood thing that I have with it. And they'll put that thing on me and they'll be like you're a little high and i'll be like and what's funny is you don't like coming to a doctor's office do you and i'm like no and i don't like this thing and it's not a good indicator what your blood pressure is i'm actually pissed because i'm i've had to wait two hours in the waiting room so i want to murder everybody so yeah actually there's they've been
Starting point is 00:11:24 they've shown that when people go to the doctor and they're nervous, their blood pressure moves up a little bit. So it's not indicative of their true blood pressure. But if they were taking it at home, it doesn't even have to be every day. So even once a week, it'll give you a good idea of what's happening with you and you can now be well informed. So all of these things make a big, I think, difference in somebody managing themselves just a little bit better. And I don't think they need to make major changes in their life if they start early enough. They can make sure that they stay on track and don't have to take some massive course correction. Yeah, you don't have to go to the doctor. You should always check in the doctor.
Starting point is 00:12:03 Someone from LinkedIn is asking the question, have you seen the controllers that use mind control? I don't know. Or mind monitoring maybe is a better way to say that. I've seen some different mind mapping things or things that claim to. Oh, I think I know. I think we reviewed a few of them. I think I know what they're talking about.
Starting point is 00:12:50 So there are a few technologies that are being worked on where I've seen one where it's thought to speech, where they're actually training the AI system to be able to convert thought to actually speech for those people that have lost that capability. I think I just saw one where the person, I think it's, they've now trained on 25 or 30 words and they're trying to eventually get it up to a thousand. So the person can actually communicate. There's also, I think it was Elon Musk that's working on his system where the, the monkey was actually able to play punk by thinking that. Yeah. So there's, there are technologies that are being worked on like that.
Starting point is 00:13:10 I think they're still super early in, in their development, but they're showing some very interesting. If I ever got beat by a monkey and prong a pong, that would be, that'd be the worst. Of course. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:13:24 I get beat by a bunch of squeaker kids in a Call of Duty, so that's always bad too. They're always like, yeah, I did something to your mother. And you're like, you have no idea what that means. You're not even hit puberty. Call of Duty joke. Yeah, it looks like they're saying for those who've had strokes or possibly suffer from disease that limit mobility. Yeah, I guess if there's ways that we can retrain or regenerate the brain. There's another question.
Starting point is 00:13:44 This may come from the same user linkedin if we put data into the game use that kind of control or they can put information inside of us in return no there's no there's been none of that function it's been the other way it's being, they've got to figure out the signals that they can then translate to some sort of action. Wouldn't it be cool if they could put an AI chip in us? Like, I want to learn to be a karate dude. And they could just put a chip in us.
Starting point is 00:14:17 There are movies about that, but I don't see that happening anytime soon. Biology is a little bit more complex than people give it credit for. Yeah. It'd be great if they could learn to hack that because you could just install a little cartridge like your old Atari. When you say hacking, I would say that one of the technologies I talk about in the book, which is called a CRISPR technology, is where you can make a gene, one gene, like one letter change in somebody's genes.
Starting point is 00:14:47 Let's say they have a disease like sickle cell, which is a one base pair difference, is if you could fix that, like you could eliminate the disease. And that's pretty much exactly what happened. The woman that has been treated for sickle cell, she's about a year later now, is completely disease-free because of that one gene change. So we are learning how to really make a difference in diseases like that. And it's being used in crops. It's being used in animals. Pretty much anything that has DNA will be affected by this technology. It's pretty interesting. I hear a lot of the people who are
Starting point is 00:15:23 like, oh, the people in the Illuminati and the black helicopters will use it to turn us all into lizard people or something. But yeah, the CRISPR technology, there's a whole lot of weirdness in and around about that. So you write about that in your book and study it? Yeah, I have a whole chapter in there talking about how it'll affect and it's going to affect not just human disease, but even manufacturing, right? If I can have a yeast cell produce a raw material, then I may not need to chop down that tree or use a highly dangerous chemical process to produce it. But I can have the organism produce it. I could use a gene that would make me fart less, especially when I'm in public. Or just take away the smell. You're on a plane, you're just like, oh no.'m in public or just take away the smell. You know, you're on a plane.
Starting point is 00:16:05 You're just like, oh, no. Right on later. These are the important things. But no, that CRISPR technology is interesting. I've seen a lot of different videos. I've seen the biohacking thing. I think I first met a biohacker in, I can't remember what he'd done to himself. He had some sort of brain thing that he put on his head.
Starting point is 00:16:21 But he was biohacking and he explained how the biohacking community worked. It was a South by Southwest. And it was really interesting, and I'm like, holy crap. And I've seen the videos where a lot of guys are messing with this. They're sometimes playing with their own DNA and stuff. And it seems kind of like fun,
Starting point is 00:16:38 but also it's a pioneering field. Some people were claiming that the mRNA virus was part of a crisper technology to change all our things into lizard people i don't know if you did you see any crossover with crisper and mrna no yeah and to be clear i don't validate any of that stuff yeah i'm just i'm just talking data that i've seen i'm just going i don't know man when you start doing the black helicopter illuminati thing and i always love people that think the illuminati is watching them and you're like they're they're not watching some like guy who's jobless sitting in his home and i don't know yes well playing video games all day i don't think they're really that into you i don't think you're really that important now i think the
Starting point is 00:17:18 important takeaway is like these technologies are moving really quickly. They're really like making a positive effect on people's lives if they either an app or a wearable or some of these other technologies. And you think about we went from nothing to treat COVID to in nine months we had a vaccine. That's only due to being able to process a lot of data, being able to have programmable biology like the mRNA. And then we also changed the entire system of doing everything in parallel instead of doing it in series. And I talk about that. I have a whole chapter in the book. Oh, do you? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:56 And it was good that we'd already developed. I think the mRNA technology had already been developed. They were trying to solve some other different diseases with it. So it was pretty much already in the tank. It was pretty much there. It really did take, though, COVID for the government to really take a strong leap of faith into that direction. But it's now the rest is history. And I think going through that process, I think that process now, there's going to be a lot of drug processes that will be affected by the changes. And so we may see drugs move through the system faster.
Starting point is 00:18:31 And it's really interesting. We've had a lot of bio people on the show and different professionals. It basically, to my understanding, correct me if I'm wrong, it gives the body a blueprint and says, here's how you fight this. Instead of just trying to give us something to fight with, it basically, it's just like a blueprint that it goes, here's how you fight this, instead of just trying to give it something to fight with, it basically, it's just like a blueprint that it goes, here's how to do this, I think. Yeah, it gives you a small piece of it that then your body then produces. And then again, it gives the immune system a chance to see what you want it to see and then create an immune response to that. Like right now, what the mRNAs are doing is telling, here's a piece of the spike protein, go and attack this thing because that's how it enters the cell.
Starting point is 00:19:11 Ah, isn't it cool? You can just give your body instructions. Yeah. Again, it has to be precisely done. It's funny, I was watching an interview with a guy who at NIH was the one that said, here's the sequence for the thing you should target. And he was freaking out because he said, if I'm wrong, this is going to be a waste of time and people are going to die. It was interesting to see, like, you make the decision, like, this is what you should go after. You got to hope that you're right. Yeah. I mean, I remember some anti-vaxxers. You're all going that you're right. Yeah. I remember some
Starting point is 00:19:45 anti-vaxxers. You're all going to be dead in a year. You're all going to be lizard people in a year. I don't know. I'm doing pretty good. My 5G is better than it's ever been, especially after the booster. I got an extra bar after the booster. I can call what's-his-face from Microsoft
Starting point is 00:20:01 anytime I want, which is great because he needs help with dating tips. He got divorced and he needs dating tips. I mean, he's cruising around town chasing girls or something. I don't know what he's doing. But Bill Gates. This is really interesting. So how, after you researched a lot of this stuff,
Starting point is 00:20:16 what have you done differently with your life and what do you hope most people do? These things have now become a dashboard for me to keep an eye on myself, to make sure that I'm staying in the lane. And it makes a big difference in my energy levels. If nothing else, I got so many things going on, the more energy and staying optimized as much as possible keeps me going, keeps me in a better mood. I'm not grumpy, which of course makes my family happy. And then I'm one of those people that I don't really want to die of a chronic disease because I didn't take care of myself. That's a painful way to go.
Starting point is 00:20:49 I want to be one of those that just, right, you fall asleep and you don't wake up sort of thing. And I'm hoping that managing this will be able to keep me on the smooth so that I don't disrupt anything along the way. Sleep apnea has a way of destroying your body over time. If you manage it, you can keep your body intact as opposed to falling apart piece by piece. Diabetes is one of the other things. I was wearing a continuous glucose monitor for a while where I could see if I'd eat something, test myself and see how much I get my spike. And I found that there's some foods I should just stay, that were not responding well to my body. Wouldn't you want to know,
Starting point is 00:21:29 rather than have it sneak up on you over time? Yep. You definitely want to get ahead of these things, because I've learned that by being overweight, and then in my late ages, trying to get rid of it or go to the gym workout. It's much harder to fight your and claw your way back than to do it but monitoring these things is really important the there's a
Starting point is 00:21:50 question i have for you on sleep apnea what did you find in your research maybe the best sleep apnea i've had people that have had the they've had the surgery where it's the new kind where it's put inside them and then my mom has the darth v mask. So she's got that going on and I call it the Darth Vader mask. And what did you find is the best thing for sleep apnea? So I think there's different types of sleep apnea. So I always tell people like talk to your doctor because let's figure out which one's the right one. But the most widely used one is you're right. It is the mask, right? It's the positive pressure that sort of keeps your throat open. So you don't, it doesn't collapse on itself. Losing weight is a big deal. Although it's not, you can be thin,
Starting point is 00:22:31 it's still absolutely bad. But being thinner is better than the opposite because it causes more problems. But so I use the mask, but there are the two, there are two new things out there. One is the, what I like to call is the garage door opener that you were talking about which is an insert basically that when you push the button at night it adds a little charge and keeps those muscles pumped and then you turn it off in the morning and then there is one that depending on the type of sleep apnea that you have it goes around your tongue and you short of those things you put on your muscle that twitches your muscle. Yeah. Okay. This one is actually made for your tongue and it called
Starting point is 00:23:09 reflex in your tongue to basically strengthen the muscle so it doesn't flip back when you're sleeping. I think I saw that. Do you wear that the whole time you're sleeping? No, you just do it for 20 minutes a day. And then after two weeks, I think you go to once every three or four days or something like that. Yeah. That's really interesting. That would probably be more for me because I don't, the Darth Vader mask, I'm always talking to my mom and other people that have the sleep apnea Darth Vader mask. Like, how do you sleep with that thing? It's like having one of those alien babies attached to your face from the movie Alien. You don't, you don't even, once you get used to it, I hate saying it, you don't even notice it.
Starting point is 00:23:46 Plus I roll around, man. I'm on one side and the other side. I got two huskies moving around my bed at all times. One of the things, though, if you sleep on your side, it makes a big difference in your sleep apnea. There are people that will sew tennis balls into their shirt so that they don't sleep on their back because that's when it gets the worst. So it'll keep you on your side and then minimize the episodes of sleep
Starting point is 00:24:11 apnea. But if you have it, you really absolutely need to treat it. People don't understand like it will destroy you over time in ways that are not pleasant. Yeah. I mostly sleep on my sides, but I have to sleep on both sides of myself. I don't get repair. If I've worked out really hard, my muscles are really tight. For some reason, sleeping on both sides helps me, although I do sleep on my back too. I move around. I do all three during sleep. I can't. If I haven't slept on my right side sometime in the night and gotten part of the rim for repair, I'm messed up on that side. I don't feel fully complete. But what do you, do you like the Apple Watch? Is there a better thing than Apple Watch? Because I'm not really
Starting point is 00:24:52 a fan of the iPhone. I'm more of an Android person. But I mean, from what I've heard, and I'm trying to be unbiased here, the Apple Watch really seems to be a good monitor of all this. It is. When I look at the Apple Watch for me, it's a bunch of sensors and it's a data repository, right? They've created it to create an ecosystem where all the data can come into one place and then different apps can access the data and then really give you more of a fine tune answer. But let's say if you were looking at sleep, the Fitbit actually has one of the most accurate sleep tracking from the data that I've seen. Oh, really?
Starting point is 00:25:29 So instead of spending, I don't know, $200, $300 on an Apple Watch, I think the least expensive Fitbit is maybe $70, $80, I think. They might even be less expensive, but that's also a way to go. It depends on how sophisticated you want it because I'm writing about this stuff and talking about this stuff all the time. I'm trying to get all of them and play with all of them as much as I can. But these are high quality medical devices that you get to wear and you don't think about them that way. And they're getting better and better every year. Yeah. Fitbit makes a good product. I believe we've reviewed them in the past.
Starting point is 00:26:09 We need to check in and see if they've got something new they can send us. But yeah, they make a good product. We've had a lot of trackers sent over to us in the years that we've reviewed on the Chris Voss Show. When wearables were especially really popular, there was a time where everybody was making a wearable at one point. I think the market has really consolidated. What are some other things that you talk about in the book that we can recommend? One of the things that's a little pricey, but the eight-sleep bed is another one that I think is – I love it.
Starting point is 00:26:34 It took my wife a couple weeks to get used to it, but now she loves it. You get in bed and it's warm. Oh, yeah. And then when you get into deep sleep, it cools down to keep you into deep sleep longer. And then as it's going towards the morning, it warms up again. And it changes temperature based on the temperature that's in the room and outside. You don't have to keep the heater as high like in the winter. And in the summer, you don't have to drive the air conditioning as much because it'll cool itself off and that'll keep you cooler.
Starting point is 00:27:06 I had the eight sleep cover that we reviewed on the Chris Voss show about three or four years ago. And after about two or three years, it finally blew out. I think we had a cord thing or something. I don't know what went on with it, but it lasted for two or three years. And yeah, that thing, I just crawl into that thing, fall asleep. There's something about a warm bed. I love when you get the blankets out of the dryer and you put them on, man. It's like a warm towel out of a nice luxury hotel when you get out of the shower.
Starting point is 00:27:35 But yeah, they make a great product and I really liked it. And then, of course, the tracking mechanisms they have in it. You can buy a whole mattress now. I don't know if they have any more. So I bought the cover because if I said to my wife, we're going to buy a new bed, she would be like, no. So we have the same bed. So it's the same feel, but the cover so yeah i bought the cover because if i said to my wife we're going to buy a new bed she would be like no so we have the same bed so it's the same feel but the cover goes on top and it's super easy to put together and it really does make a big difference in in your sleep i actually interviewed a guy that's in texas that was saying his air conditioning bill was through the roof bless you and he bought one of these put it on there and he's out really don't have to drive the air conditioner that much so it paid for itself
Starting point is 00:28:09 yeah in the end and he goes i'm sleeping like a baby so he's his performance has gone up so i think it made a big difference and so i'm using it and i you know i love it do you yeah i love the product in fact i need to bugger them about getting us a new review. They were reworking the cover, I think, at the time, and they just had the mattresses. But, yeah, it looks like they're looking at their website. The cover's out. We get a lot of products reviewed on the Chris Foss Show, which are these. It's a magenta light, but it's not a magenta light.
Starting point is 00:28:39 It's a special colored light that's supposed to make it so it increases the melatonin in your brain. And it's a special kind of red light, magenta. I don't know if you're familiar with these, but sometimes they'll give you white noise beside the side of your bed and stuff like that. Sometimes they'll move through different colors. But I guess there's a certain color that will, if you see it before you go to bed and you spend your time around that light, you turn off blue lights, your phones and everything else. I guess you get into that in the book, but this certain type of light will increase the melatonin in your brain and put you in your Arcadia, is it Arcadia rhythms? Circadian rhythms. Circadian rhythms.
Starting point is 00:29:20 Yeah. I guess I'm not familiar with that, but I do know people that will take melatonin and so forth. And I always take what I can get over the counter with a grain of salt, because you don't know the quality of what's being put out onto the market at a Walgreens or a CVS. where you wear it for two weeks and then another two weeks. And then the AI system has basically learned how all these different types of food affect you. And now you tell it what you're going to eat before you eat it. And it'll tell you what the spike looks like. And so you can actually adjust your intake of different types of foods to keep that insulin level very even. And so you don't end up with spikes and up and down. And that way you'll end up with less diseases, right? Because you're
Starting point is 00:30:09 keeping it even. And secondly, you generally have a lot more energy as a result. That's interesting, man. It's wild how things are going and what the future is going to hold for us, huh? Oh, absolutely. I look at these apps or these technologies. And if you go to the stuff that's, there's a woman at MIT that's been working on a image analysis system for breast cancer screening. You can see the tumor five years before a human can actually see it coming up. Holy crap. And it'll point it out to them. There's recently the first AI prostate cancer pathology test was approved. And so if you take the physician and you take the system, you get a better decision than you would one or the other by themselves.
Starting point is 00:30:55 And you're seeing these things move super fast, going to have a lot of impact, going to improve diagnosis and treatment decision. Now it seems like every two or three days I'm reading about something new that's going to have an impact on the space and really improve people's lives. And the other thing that I like about it is every year it's deflationary, right? The thing gives me more for less or the same price. And so you can see how this can be around the world. People can have access to these sorts of technologies. What do you, what do you, I got your eye on the future as we go out. What do you see maybe coming down the line that you're pretty excited
Starting point is 00:31:35 about? CRISPR technology makes me exciting. How quickly we're moving drug discovery along where I'm seeing technologies that can cut off the first three years of drug discovery. And if I take a little time here and I take a little time there, right, all of a sudden, instead of taking 10 years, maybe it only takes five. Wow. And so that makes a huge difference in how quickly we can get drugs through the system and that have a positive effect on patients and how easily we can help
Starting point is 00:32:06 diagnose some of the... There are AI systems now where I can use my iPhone. Let's say I have a small mole or a lesion. I'll take a picture and the AI system will rank it and basically tell me how much of a problem it could be or isn't and whether I should go see the physician. And I think if you're going to see some changes, I think in CVS and Walgreens, I think you'll see them start to incorporate more of these technologies in their minute clinics. So they may be able to offer more to patients right then and there as opposed to having to go into the ivory tower. Anything we can do to reduce those,
Starting point is 00:32:47 there's telemedicine now where you can do telemedicine, but anything we can do to reduce some of these things, because I hate going to see the doctor. Part of what I hate about it is just how long you sit there sometimes waiting in waiting rooms and stuff. I just find that the most annoying. I'm like, seriously, I set a point with you. Do I really have to wait two hours in your waiting room?
Starting point is 00:33:04 But I actually use a lot of telemedicine apps. I think I first declared in 2013 in Forbes that we needed telemedicine apps, and I really should have started one back then. But I talked about how this was something seriously needed to be disrupted, and I guess some people heard it and went and started telemedicine apps. Anything more you want to touch on in the book before we go out? Just my wish is always somebody will read it, take something out of it that's personal to them, incorporate it in their life, and then make a change. And that would be
Starting point is 00:33:34 huge for me. Awesome. Yeah. Use it to improve your life. Vector, you're going to need to go look at some of the watches we have laying around here. We have a bunch of stuff. I want to go see what's going on with all that and maybe retest it because I've been going to the gym for 5.5 months now. I think at the end of the month, beginning of the month there, it'll be six. And I've been monitoring more of what I do. I take 5,000 supplements a day. But I'm like, okay, let's take a look at our testosterone. Okay, let's take a look at our vitamin D consumption. Let's take a look at all these things that I've just been skipping through. So it's really important. Give us your plugs so people can find you on the interwebs and find out
Starting point is 00:34:16 more about you and what you're doing. Yeah. Again, I would say my book and my podcast and everything is on my webpage. It's www.glorikian.com. G-L-O-R-I-K-I-A-N.com. I'm pretty easy to go. They can find me almost anywhere. And if they read the book, I hope they enjoy it and they take away some key change from it. There you go. There you go. Thank you very much.
