The typical prescription drug has an average of 69 side effects on the package insert, and Big Pharma isn't even trying to hide it. They broadcast the side effects on television, even going as far as telling us that we could die if we take their cocktail of pills.   The system is blatantly broken, and no free thinking, empowered human being listens to those commercials and wants to take a prescription. Sovereign individuals opt out of the system and take the path of optimization instead.   Can we take care of our health so effectively that we'd never need to take a single drug? In this episode, I'm joined by pharmacist and author of the #1 best selling book “The 21st Century Pharmacist”, Billy Wease. He talks about how he's disrupting his industry and preaching the message of optimization.   I don't believe in sick. Being sick is a choice, it is not your genetics. -Billy Wease     Three Things We Learned    -The tragedy of healthcare education Are students getting educated on optimization or actually being indoctrinated into a broken system?   -There's no optimization quick fix  If you've spent decades treating your body like a dumpster fire, how can a 90 day program undo all that damage?   -The most amazing fat loss tools we've ever been given  Why are bioregulators so heavily demonized in the press when their effectiveness is clear as day?   Guest Bio   Billy Wease is a pharmacist with over 30 years of clinical experience specializing in wellness and is the author of the #1 best selling book The 21st Century Pharmacist.

On top of that, we must place importance on career paths that fit who we are—so we're not forcing ourselves into something that isn't in alignment with ourselves. He urges us to think with an open mind, embrace rejection as part of the process, and get comfortable with “prioritizing things in your bucket of tasks”. Pearls of Wisdom: 1. Find a career that fits who you are. 2. Find that one thing that excites you to wake up every morning or in the middle of the night. Approach each opportunity with an open mind and think outside the box. 3. Know how to prioritize things in your bucket of tasks. Find the right balance and know when to prioritize what and anticipate that there will be moments in your life when you will have to shift around the things in your bucket. 4. Find the match between your goals and the mentors in your life.
