Dr Osborne. How are you? Peter 01:42 I'm doing fantastic. Thanks for asking. How about yourself? Stu 01:45 Yeah, really, really good at. It's 8:00 on a Friday morning, so I should be a little bit dusty, but I'm feeling okay. I've had a good breakfast and I'm ready to go. First off for our audience that might not be familiar with your work, I would love it if you could just tell our listeners a little bit about what you do and perhaps why you do it as well. Peter 02:07 Yeah, so I started out about 18 years ago clinical practice. I left the VA Hospital here in Houston, Texas after a very disgruntled stint in the rheumatology department, and I was very disgruntled with the way that people were being treated. They were being treated with high levels of immune suppressants and steroid medications and surgical joint procedure replacements. And to me it was not a solution, it wasn't an answer, nobody got better. It just seemed like a system. And I'm a veteran myself. So having these veterans come through the hospital and not being treated properly, it really didn't sit well with me. So when I started my own private practice, one of the things that I made it a point of was to implement diet, lifestyle and nutrition into people with chronic autoimmune problems, because that's where I was. 02:57 At VA Hospital, rheumatology, it's rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, Scleroderma, dermatomyositis. Diseases like psoriatic arthritis and spondyloarthritis. So joint pains, muscle pains, chronic autoimmune in nature. And there just wasn't a real viable medical option outside of immune suppression, which to me was not a solution.
