Filmmakers! Welcome back to a very special Business of Film edition of The Filmmakers Podcast. Today, we are cutting through the absolute nonsense and delivering a survival guide for how to fund, produce, and sell an independent film in the current market. Host Giles Alderson is joined by an expert powerhouse panel: film industry data analyst Stephen Follows, director-producer and AI tech expert Hilary Shakespeare, independent director-producer Dom Lenoir, and VP of Distribution at Quantify Sales, Dimo Alexandrov. Together, they break down the exact numbers of what sold, why horror and elevated genre remain king, the catastrophic mistakes indie producers are making on the Croisette, and the real impact of AI on the future of cinema. Whether you are prepping a project for production or trying to close a distribution deal, this episode is a mandatory masterclass on how to navigate the international market right now. Come Fully Prepared: Before approaching any sales agent or distributor, you must know your exact budget top-sheet, your realistic cast options, your shoot locations, and your tax credit strategy. Do not pitch an abstract idea; pitch a business plan. The Sweet Spot Budget: The current market "sweet spot" for independent genre films is £1.2M–£1.5M. Going higher requires highly recognizable names; going lower works best in horror where a strong, high-concept hook can carry the film. Horror and Rom-Coms are Leading: Horror and elevated genre films remain the most bulletproof, reliable bets globally. However, romantic comedies are making a significant comeback—particularly book adaptations and projects with established cast members. The Market Moves Early: The traditional Cannes calendar has shifted. A massive portion of business and deal-making was finalized the weekend before the official market doors opened. Start your outreach and schedule your virtual meetings much earlier next year. Personalize or Perish: Sales agents are swamped with generic copy-and-paste pitch emails that don't even mention their company slate. Take the time to research exactly who you are contacting and explain why your project specifically fits their portfolio. Badges Matter Less Than Presence: The most lucrative business deals and connections didn't happen inside the secure zones; they happened in bars, beach parties, and informal networking spots. Even without an official market badge, it is still worth being on the ground. AI is a Tool, Not a Writer: The panel consensus is clear—leverage AI for workflow efficiencies like scheduling, budgeting, localized dubbing, and storyboarding. However, original human voice and lived experiences are the only things that truly make a film connect with an audience. Understand Gen Z: Gen Z is now the largest cinema-going demographic, but their tastes, media consumption, and viewing habits differ drastically from previous generations. You must understand how to market directly to them. Work the Other 360 Days: Cannes is a momentary flashpoint, not a long-term strategy. The filmmakers finding genuine traction are building relationships, sending screeners, and doing Zoom calls all year round. The Follow-Up Strategy: Don't let your market contacts go cold. Connect on LinkedIn or Instagram (read the room on which platform fits best), screenshot their contact info so you don't lose it, and follow up within a few days with a personalized, contextual message.
CardioNerds Dr. Joseph Kassab, Dr. Mariana Garcia-Arango, and Dr. Christopher Mason explore the technological revolution of Coronary CT Angiography (CCTA) with expert faculty Dr. Michael Gallagher. The discussion details how CCTA has evolved into a frontline diagnostic and preventive tool, moving beyond simple anatomy to incorporate physiology via CT-FFR and biology through AI-driven plaque quantification. The episode reviews landmark evidence like the SCOT-HEART and PROMISE trials, the nuances of CAD-RADS 2.0 reporting, and the emerging role of AI in monitoring treatment response and personalizing cardiovascular care. Critically, they also discuss some of the assumptions and limitations of these techniques. Stay tuned for a matching review article to be submitted to US Cardiology Review, the official Journal of CardioNerds. This episode was supported by an independent medical education grant from HeartFlow. All CardioNerds education is planned, produced, and reviewed solely by CardioNerds.

CardioNerds Multimodality Cardiovascular Imaging PageCardioNerds Episode PageCardioNerds AcademyCardionerds Healy Honor Roll Pearls Shift in Paradigm: CCTA is no longer just an anatomic test; with some key limitations, it can provide anatomy, physiology (CT-FFR), and plaque biology (AI-CPA) in a single non-invasive scan. The “Power of Zero” vs. Plaque: While a normal CCTA has a >95% negative predictive value, future MIs often arise from non-obstructive plaque that traditional stress tests might miss. CAD-RADS 2.0 Utility: The addition of plaque burden modifiers (P1–P4) is a “game changer,” allowing clinicians to identify high-risk patients who need aggressive lipid-lowering despite having only mild stenosis. CT-FFR as a Virtual Stress Test: CT-FFR uses computational fluid dynamics to simulate blood flow, potentially reducing unnecessary invasive catheterizations by approximately 61% without sacrificing safety. Seeing the Invisible: AI-based quantitative plaque analysis (QCPA) can identify “subvisual” plaque and low-attenuation (lipid-rich) components that are the primary drivers of acute coronary syndromes. Show Notes How has the role of CCTA changed compared to traditional functional testing? Historically, stress testing answered “is there ischemia today?”, which often reflects late-stage disease. CCTA identifies disease across the entire spectrum, asking “is there atherosclerosis and how much plaque is present?”. Landmark evidence: SCOT-HEART showed a 41% relative risk reduction in MI at 5 years attributed to intensified preventive therapies, and PROMISE showed CCTA was better at selecting patients who truly needed invasive angiography. Diagnostic CCTA imaging depends on the protocol, contrast timing, heart rate, heart rhythm, breathholding, scanner quality, and several patient factors (obesity, prior stents, heavy calcification, complex bypass anatomy, and motion artifact all may limit imaging). “CCTA is exceptional for the right patient, with the right scanner, and the right team.” What are the key modifiers introduced in CAD-RADS 2.0, and why do they matter? CAD-RADS 2.0 moved beyond stenosis severity to include plaque burden (P0 to P4), high-risk plaque (HRP) features, and the presence of ischemia based on CT-FFR. It serves as a clinical decision support tool: a patient with mild (25-49%) stenosis but “extensive” (P4) plaque burden is considered high risk and warrants aggressive risk factor modification. How is CT-FFR calculated, and when is it most useful in clinical practice? CT-FFR uses resting CCTA data and computational fluid dynamics to create a 3D model of coronary flow during simulated maximal hyperemia. It is often used for intermediate lesions (40–90% stenosis) to predict if they are ischemia-producing, guiding the decision whether to proceed with invasive angiography. The assumptions necessary for this computational modeling may not apply well to patients with microvascular dysfunction, significant myocardial scar or prior infarction, or ventricular hypertrophy. Still, data indicate that CT-FFR performs similarly to PET in predicting hemodynamically significant lesions. CT-FFR performs well at the extremes (either clearly normal or clearly abnormal). Accuracy dips, however, in the intermediate range (~0.75-0.80), where decision-making is most critical. In this grey zone, additional factors can help guide the approach, including the amount of myocardium supplied, translesional gradient, and plaque features. CT-FFR has not been validated in distal segments, stented segments, heavily calcified coronary arteries, or in patients with severe aortic stenosis. Caution with CT-FFR should be utilized in very calcified coronary segments. What is AI-based quantitative plaque analysis (QCPA), and what metrics are ready for clinical use? This is potentially a paradigm shift, moving away from stenosis-centric thinking to a more disease burden and plaque biology focus. QCPA uses deep learning algorithms to automatically segment the vessel wall and quantify plaque volume in mm³. Ready for “prime time” metrics include: Total Plaque Volume (TPV), non-calcified plaque volume, and Low-Attenuation Plaque (LAP) burden. Can serial CCTA be used to monitor the effectiveness of medical therapies like statins? While not yet a routine guideline-driven practice, trials like PARADIGM and EVAPORATE show that therapies can stabilize plaque; notably, CCTA is better for monitoring than CAC scores, which can be misleading as statins often increase plaque calcification as part of the stabilization process. There are no randomized trials that serial CCTAs improve outcomes. Cost and radiation exposure will be notable limitations. Serial scan timing, scan acquisition and interpretation standardization would be key. Dr. Gallagher notes that we are moving toward a world in which plaque burden may become a “treatment biomarker,” similar to tumor burden in oncology. References 1.

Allie and Adam get nostalgic about the rush of closing a deal — and why the feeling of giving someone their dream job never gets old. 29:00 – Navigating Transform 2026 as a First-Timer Allie shares her experience at her first Transform conference and Adam offers tips for making the most of big industry events. 31:00 – What's on Your Playlist? The episode wraps with a music moment — Wet Leg, Alabama Shakes, Chance the Rapper, Fred Again, and a surprise Luke Combs convert. Key Takeaways: 1. Culture of No Surprises Is the Highest Form of Employer Trust The biggest damage to candidate and employee trust comes from being sold a version of a company that doesn't match reality. Allie's north star is radical transparency — leaders sharing hard truths when they can, so employees are never blindsided. 2. Company Values Must Be Built, Not Announced Values that stick don't come from a poster or a company-wide email. They require executive sponsorship, employee pressure-testing, phased rollout, and genuine adoption planning. Anything less is performative — and people know it. 3. Agency Recruiting Is a Training Ground That Makes You Better The discipline of hitting numbers, showing up every day, and working in a high-accountability environment gives agency recruiters a foundation that in-house roles rarely replicate. Allie credits that grind for making her the people leader she is today. 4. Follow Your Passion Outside of Work — It Might Become Your Career Allie's move to SoundCloud started with volunteering for Sofar Sounds on evenings and weekends. Pursuing what you love outside your day job builds relationships, skills, and opportunities you can't manufacture inside an office. 5. Output Over Hours Is the Right Framework — With Guardrails Giving employees trust and flexibility tends to produce exceptional results. But it requires clear expectations, strong manager relationships, and a willingness to coach (or exit) people who aren't built for autonomous work environments. 6. Personalize the Benefits Conversation — Don't Just List the Package The best recruiters listen for what matters to each candidate and connect it to the right benefits. A pet owner lights up when you mention pet insurance. A candidate navigating a same-sex partnership in a complicated state wants to hear about legal concierge support. Benefits close competitive offers when they're presented personally, not generically. 7. L&D Investment Is a Signal of Company Values, Not Just a Perk SoundCloud's $1,600 annual learning and development stipend tells employees: we're invested in your growth, not just your output. For candidates choosing between comparable offers, this kind of benefit signals a culture that takes development seriously. 8. VP of People Is a Bridge Role — Between Managers, Talent, and Leadership Allie's job isn't to recruit or to set policy in a vacuum — it's to sit at the intersection of what managers need, what the talent team is finding, and what leadership is trying to build. The best people leaders are connectors and translators across all three. 9. Feeling Safe at Work Is Non-Negotiable — And Companies That Get It Win Allie's story of leaving a role where she didn't feel safe as a queer person — and finding belonging at Onward Search — is a reminder that psychological safety isn't a soft metric. It's a talent retention and acquisition advantage.

His current focus includes leveraging other people's audiences, improving investor-facing strategy, and using AI in ways that build trust instead of eroding it.

Key Takeaways Understand why today's capital-raising environment is harder because investors are operating in a broader "trust recession" Avoid cold outreach tactics that feel transactional and instead build trust through warmer, more personal connections Learn how to leverage other people's audiences so you can borrow trust instead of trying to manufacture it from scratch Identify a specific investor audience you actually understand, rather than targeting people only because they have money Use AI to speed up research and content creation, but only with clear strategy and human review so your message still sounds like you Topics Why We're in a Trust Recession Todd explains that businesses across industries are facing a harder trust environment, driven by institutional distrust, scams, fake reviews, AI-generated noise, and marketing overload He notes that multifamily syndication has been hit especially hard because many investors have recently been burned by bad deals, paused distributions, capital calls, and losses What Not to Do When Raising Capital Cold outreach that jumps straight into a pitch does not work well, especially in the current environment Todd gives examples like random LinkedIn pitches, old acquaintances suddenly asking for money, and generic outreach that tries to force trust before a relationship exists How to Build Trust More Effectively Instead of pitching immediately, Todd recommends leading with genuine interest in the other person and having a normal conversation first If the fit is there, the discussion can move naturally toward what you're working on without making the interaction feel forced or transactional Why Warm Referrals Matter Todd compares warm referrals to getting a restaurant recommendation from a trusted friend: the guard comes down faster because trust is borrowed from the person making the introduction He explains that syndicators should think carefully about who their ideal investors already trust and then create win-win ways to access those audiences Leveraging Other People's Audiences Todd shares an example from a multifamily event where simply being introduced as a speaker changed the context completely and created a line of people ready to talk to him afterward The main lesson is that context matters: when someone trusted introduces you, people approach you differently than when you chase them cold Choosing the Right Investor Audience Todd says syndicators need to know exactly who they are targeting, rather than taking a broad "anyone with money" approach He uses doctors as an example, explaining that once you know your audience, you can identify the podcasts, professionals, events, and communities they already trust He also warns that if you do not understand an audience's actual problems, pains, and context, your message will not resonate and may even reduce trust How to Reach Out Credibly Todd recommends personalized outreach that starts with the other person, not with yourself He says the strongest messages make it obvious that they were written specifically for one person, explain why the outreach matters to that person, and make a simple ask If a message could be sent to 100 different people without changing a word, Todd says it is not good enough Using AI the Right Way Todd believes AI can be powerful for capital raisers, especially for content creation, research, and identifying connections, but only if the operator already has a clear process and strategy He warns that using AI without strategy just creates bad or generic content faster He specifically emphasizes that AI-generated content must still sound like you, and that users should never hand everything off blindly without review

Appointments and sales are flowing! Congrats Jennifer! The Online Sales Manifesto NotesAll new interest flows through online sales.Start with your website - CTAs - one voice - creating a better mousetrap will lead to higher conversion and better data integrity. For example: Web leads, signage, calls, Zillow, BDX, developer, realtors, Self Tour. Right size your program - one OSC manages 150-200 new leads/month. Take into account coming soon as well.Position the OSC as an extension of the sales team and it should be a performance-based role. Lean into speed to lead.Personalize the first email, text, and call with the community of interest and address any questions that came in the inquiry. Auto response doesn't count.Make your messaging relevant and simple. And know your audience - one size doesn't fit all on follow up templates.Develop and follow a process. You need a process for new leads, responsive leads, prospecting, coming soon communities, call path, and handoff. Be curious! Discover don't info dump and set appropriately qualified appointments for your sales team.Know your numbers and the why behind them. Reporting is your responsibility. Leads, lead sources, conversion to appt, show rate, appt to sale, and overall contribution.Make the phone your best friend and make it a priority. Answer rate needs to be 80% or higher.Prospecting is a first priority. If you don't have the bandwidth to make prospecting monthly emails and daily outbound calls, then consider a couple of things: how you manage your day and if you need a team member? With almost 20% of appointments coming from aged leads, you can't afford not to do it.Come out from behind the screen and connect with sales. Whether this is sales meetings, in person at the community, or virtually.Stay up to date on your tech stack.Remember your value and the impact you have on your company. Know how to explain your role confidently. Skills CheckAnything on the manifesto that you're not following or don't have implemented, sit down with leadership and talk it through.

I sit down with Moritz Kremb, an OpenClaw power user and agency builder based in Berlin, to break down how to actually make OpenClaw useful. Moritz walks through a 10-step optimization guide covering everything from troubleshooting and memory management to model selection and security basics. He then demos two real systems he built with OpenClaw: a full short-form video content pipeline and a conversational CRM. This episode is for anyone who tried OpenClaw, hit a wall, and wants a clear path to turning it into a superhuman digital employee. Timestamps 00:00 – Intro and episode promise 02:17 – What is OpenClaw 03:17 – OpenClaw vs. ChatGPT vs. Claude Code 07:43 – Where Claude Cowork and Dispatch fit in 09:47 – Why choose OpenClaw over Cowork 11:03 – Step 1: Setting up OpenClaw 14:46 – Step 2: Personalize your workspace files 18:04 – Step 3: Fix and optimize memory 22:43 – Step 4: Choose the right model (OAuth method) 25:56 – Anthropic ban and model provider gray areas 27:33 – Step 5: Organize Telegram groups and topics 30:19 – Step 6: Understand the three browser modes 35:18 – Step 7: Skills — built-in, marketplace, and custom 39:03 – Step 8: Optimize the heartbeat file 42:00 – Step 9: Security basics and prompt injection 48:08 – Step 10: Least access principle and agent-owned accounts 49:52 – Use case 1: No AI Slop content system 58:37 – Use case 2: Conversational CRM 01:01:15 – Final thoughts on the future of personal agents 01:02:55 – Jensen Huang's take: OpenClaw as the new computer Key Points Upload the OpenClaw documentation into a Claude project to create a dedicated troubleshooting baseline — it solves roughly 99% of setup issues. Use the OAuth method (your existing $20 ChatGPT or Anthropic subscription) to avoid expensive API costs, and always configure backup models. Memory problems are almost always caused by memory never being saved in the first place; add an auto-save instruction to the heartbeat file so it logs every 30 minutes. Organize your OpenClaw conversations into separate Telegram groups and topics with group-specific system prompts to avoid context bleed. Stronger models are meaningfully more resistant to prompt injection; pair that with least-access principles and agent-owned accounts for a solid security posture. Custom skills are the path to real automation — whenever you do something repeatedly, tell your OpenClaw to turn it into a skill.

George Wright III explains why daily rituals (Prosperity Pillar #10) are essential for entrepreneurs and high achievers because success comes from consistent small actions, not occasional breakthroughs. Rituals remove reliance on motivation, create structure and momentum, and keep you from being reactive to emails and other people's agendas. He distinguishes habits (automatic behaviors) from rituals (purposeful practices tied to outcomes or identity), emphasizing that timing, simplicity, and personalization increase long-term consistency. Wright advises choosing sustainable routines, targeting rituals to your current needs (energy, clarity, stress), reducing friction through preparation, and tracking progress to improve and build accountability. He stresses perfection isn't required; what matters is returning to the structure, stacking daily wins, and letting consistency build self-trust, confidence, and lasting change.01:08 Show Intro and Pillars02:21 Why Daily Rituals Matter04:23 Habits vs Rituals05:15 Timing Your Rituals06:27 Keep It Simple07:20 Personalize for Your Needs08:18 Environment and Friction09:24 Track and Measure Progress10:24 Identity, Confidence, and Wins11:21 How to Start Small12:14 Consistency Not Perfection13:11 Weekly Challenge and WrapThanks for listening, and Please Share this Episode with someone.

In this episode, we speak with Eli Goodman, co-founder and CEO of Datos, a clickstream intelligence company built for institutional and enterprise markets and acquired by Semrush. After more than two decades across the data ecosystem - including senior roles at Comscore and close work with Gartner - Eli founded Datos in 2020 with a clear focus on trustworthy, high-integrity data in a space shaped by regulation, risk, and long-term dependency. This is a conversation about responsibility, judgment earned over time, and building something that is meant to last. What We Dig Into: The Weight of Founding Eli describes entrepreneurship as constant vigilance. “It's not that you're sleeping three hours a night. It's that you always have one eye open.” Founding, for him, is not about freedom. It is about responsibility. “If you're not figuring it out, it's not getting done.” People trust you with their livelihoods. If you care, that weight stays with you. Managing People vs Being Responsible for Survival Eli draws a clear distinction between leadership inside an established company and founding something from zero. “Every day you wake up and the first thing you think is: when are we out of money?” In a startup: • There is no institution behind you • No inherited structure • No one else to catch what you drop The company exists only if you keep it alive. “Milk Gate” - When Small Things Reveal Bigger Realities One of the most memorable moments in the episode comes from what Eli jokingly refers to as “Milk Gate”. Early in his career, he describes a company-wide meeting where leadership reprimanded the entire office for drinking too much free milk - milk that was meant for coffee, not cereal. “It didn't really make sense why the general manager had to sit everyone down about milk.” At the time, it felt irrational. Easy to take personally. In hindsight, it became clear what it really signaled. The company was nearing a sale. Costs were under scrutiny. Every dollar suddenly mattered. “When something feels out of place, it usually is.” The lesson is not about milk. It is about learning to read context instead of ego. Small, insignificant-seeming moments often: • Reflect pressures leadership is not articulating • Signal structural changes before they are announced • Only make sense once you zoom out Learning Not to Personalize the Wrong Things Eli connects Milk Gate to another early-career moment - pitching an idea that leadership dismissed. At the time, it felt like rejection. Later, he understood it as disinvestment. The takeaway: • Not every “no” is about you • Sometimes it is about timing, incentives, or exit dynamics • Experience teaches you what to internalize and what to observe Why This Episode Matters This episode removes mythology from entrepreneurship. It replaces bravado with responsibility and hype with durability. It is especially relevant for founders building infrastructure, data, or long-term platforms. You'll Walk Away With: • A grounded view of founder responsibility • A lens for interpreting small but meaningful business signals • Clarity on funding alignment and incentives • A practical people-management framework • A reminder that sales still start with humans • A long-term view of trust as strategy Measured. Honest. Earned over time. Enjoy your listen

In this episode of the *Innovations and Clinical Implementation* podcast recorded at LongevityFest, hosts Tom Blue and Chris D'Adamo discuss the rapid evolution of epigenetic testing with Ryan Smith. Ryan Smith is the founder and global head of research and development at TruDiagnostic, a CLIA-certified lab and health data company that has built one of the world's largest private epigenetic databases to advance the measurement of biological aging. The discussion traces the 140% year-over-year growth in consumer interest regarding biological age and explores how TruDiagnostic utilizes AI to interpret over 1.3 million DNA methylation sites to validate longevity interventions in clinical trials. Smith previews the upcoming release of "methylation risk scores" that can predict the onset of diseases like COPD and Lyme disease, and details the development of "Epigenetic Biomarker Proxies" (EBPs) intended to eventually replace traditional labs by deriving thousands of metrics—such as HbA1c, CRP, and environmental toxins—from a single finger stick.

Grab Jeff Dudan's book Discernment Most “everyday” brands don't lose because they're bad… they lose because they're forgettable.

You'll hear why “being great at the job” is just the floor, how small experience decisions change referrals, and why the brands that win are the ones people remember—and recommend.

Grab Jeff Dudan's book Discernment Most “everyday” brands don't lose because they're bad… they lose because they're forgettable. In this episode of Unemployable, Jeff Dudan sits down with Brittany Hodak—author of Creating Super Fans and creator of the SUPER framework—to break down how service businesses (home + property services included) can stop competing like commodities and start building real advocacy. You'll hear why “being great at the job” is just the floor, how small experience decisions change referrals, and why the brands that win are the ones people remember—and recommend.

Comp plans are easy to talk about. Culture, leadership, growth? Not so much. And yet, it's the non-financial value that actually moves the needle when it comes to attracting aligned, long-term hires. In this episode of Recruiting Conversations, I give you a clear, five-part framework to define, communicate, and personalize your non-financial value, so you can win recruits who care about more than just the paycheck. Episode Breakdown [00:00] Setup – Why this question matters more than ever: "How do we communicate non-financial value effectively?" [01:00] Step 1: Define What Sets You Apart – You can't communicate what you haven't clearly named Leadership style Support and growth systems Culture behaviors Flexibility, autonomy, mentorship, development [02:00] Step 2: Get Specific – Vague phrases like "we care about our people" don't land. Say what support actually looks like 30/60/90 onboarding? Weekly 1-on-1s? Leadership development tracks? [03:00] Step 3: Lead With It Early – Don't wait for someone to ask about comp before you start talking about culture "Most of the people who join our team do it because of how we lead and help people grow" [04:00] Step 4: Use Storytelling to Bring It to Life Tell the story of a team member who overcame something with your support Share how someone grew into a leadership role Let the recruit feel what it's like to be on your team [05:00] Step 5: Personalize the Conversation – Ask questions like: What's missing in your current environment? What kind of leader brings out your best? Then connect what you offer directly to what they care about [06:00] Bonus Step: Show, Don't Just Tell Invite recruits to team meetings Share a behind-the-scenes video Let them talk to a current team member Create a simple tour of your onboarding process Key Takeaways Vague Language Doesn't Attract Top Talent – Define your values, support systems, and culture in specific, shareable language Recruits Don't Buy Features. They Buy Feelings – Use story to make the value real and relatable Don't Wait for the Comp Question to Show Value – Lead with your differentiators Personalization Wins Trust – Listen first, then highlight what matters to them Experience Builds Belief – Let them see and feel your culture before they say yes Your team's culture and leadership style may be the best-kept secret in your recruiting strategy. Let's change that. Lead with the value that actually keeps people, and you'll attract the right ones every time.

Genetics provide the context most training and nutrition plans are missing.In this episode, I sit down with Justin Harris to explain why starting with genetics removes so much of the guesswork. The body has a built-in hardware that shapes how your body responds to food, training, stress, and supplements long before habits come into play. Once you understand that framework, your decisions stop feeling random.We walk through real examples, including why some people struggle with caffeine, vitamin D, high-fat diets, or recovery even when they are doing the right things. These patterns are not random, and they are rarely about effort.We also cover when genetic testing actually makes sense and why it works best once the basics are already in place. If you want fewer guesses and better decisions around training, nutrition, and long-term health, this episode is for you.

What if you could quantify the five biggest drivers of chronic illness, then fix the right one first? That's the promise of MVX Plus, a simple, low‑cost blood test that scores malnutrition, toxicity, inflammation, infection, and mitochondrial dysfunction—then turns the results into a clear plan. We sit down with Dr. Darren Schmidt to unpack why so many people spin their wheels on diets and prescriptions, and how a focus on cellular function changes the outcome.We start by challenging the food pyramid mindset and the shaky ground of observational nutrition studies. Instead of worshiping food groups, we get practical about macronutrients. Protein rises as the quiet hero of satiety and metabolic stability, while ultra‑processed foods are engineered to keep you hungry. From there, we dig into real‑world cases: when a patient with lingering gut issues needed steak, not another antimicrobial; when a high MVX score traced back to an acute sinus infection; and how removing toxin exposures can drop your 5‑year risk score in weeks.The takeaway is a blueprint, not a fad. Personalize protein intake, repair digestion so you can actually use it, identify and remove toxic hits, and support mitochondria—sometimes with targeted tools like benfotiamine (B1) to restore energy. We also compare GLP‑1 drugs to low‑carb physiology and explain when each makes sense. If you're tired of guessing, the MVX framework gives you a compass: run the test, act on the dominant bottleneck, and watch your score head down as your health climbs.Want the data to guide your next move? Order the MVX test at the nhca.com (upper right: MVX test), and if you want hand‑holding, become a patient and track your progress every 6–8 weeks. If this conversation helped, follow, share with a friend who's stuck, and leave a review so more people can find their way back to real health.Join the What if it Did Work movement on FacebookGet the Book!www.omarmedrano.comwww.calendly.com/omarmedrano/15min
