[4:50] How Dr. Jeff Bland transitioned from being a professor of biochemistry to being the Father of Functional Medicine

[8:35] What is Big Bold Health?

[10:40] What is the difference between disease care and health care?

[11:27] The term \u201cprevention\u201d is a ripoff, it\u2019s hard to quantify it without actually getting sick or diseased or injured.

[12:30] People need something concrete that they can feel and sense.

[13:20] It\u2019s hard to birth a health care system out of this type of system.

[14:00] We need to really define this term, so we can objectify it as minutely as we do the term disease.

[15:30] Health is much more than the absence of disease. It\u2019s about living in a way that allows you to do these things.

[16:50] Four aspects of function

[18:30] Health is for the individual. It\u2019s personal to each person. So, to improve health for each person, we need to remove this factor.

[24:00] Disease care has its appropriate place, for things like injury or disease. Health care needs to be given as much focus for these types of issues for things we can self-correct.

[24:55] What you can measure and monitor, you can improve.

[25:35] When the human genome was defined, a lot of pharma people felt disillusioned by this.

[26:11] The way our genes express themselves in our lives is hugely variable, based on this factor.

[29:30] Discussion of Dr. Jeff\u2019s Mediterr-Asian inspired food plan that includes a free download (see above.)
