America doesn't really have a health care system. We have a sick care system. We wait until people are sick or injured or diagnosed with chronic disease and then we throw expensive treatments and procedures and medications at the problem, basically putting a band aid on the symptoms as opposed to getting to the root of what is actually the diagnosis. The they're racking up on massive bills. They're navigating incredibly confusing, intentionally confusing insurance. And they're just like hoping for the best in this process. But what if we flip the script? What if we treated health as an investment instead of an expense? What if we focused on keeping people truly well and strong and thriving for decades longer, not just patching them up once they break down? Well, Talia, thank you for joining the Riley Gaines Show.
- [01:32]
C
Oh, absolutely.
- [01:34]
B
My viewers and listeners have hopefully at this point seen the vlog I did talking about the results that I had from the executive health test when I came down to Austin and did this with Medici. So maybe they have a little bit of understanding of Medici. Now I want to get to that. I want to talk about, you know, like some, the comprehensive, again, executive health testing that that you guys are doing. Can you walk us through that process? And then I have some other questions for you about, again, why this is such a fantastic investment. And I use that word strategically because you really are investing in the most important thing, which is your health, your functionality, your longevity. Few things more important than that right there because ultimately that predicts how you, how you behave, how you interact with others, how you move your body. All fundamental to our daily lives. So walk us through an executive health assessment. What it looks like, what you guys do.
- [02:30]
C
Yes, so our executive health assessment is done in four hours. So we're looking at about over 440 biomarkers in that four hour time. There are other executive assessments, but most of the time people are there about a day to a day and a half. But due to our technology, we're able to accomplish it all in four hours. So first and foremost, foremost, it's not a lot of time out of a single day that you can get this done when you come in. We're doing about 16 to 17 vials of blood. So that lets you know it's a very deep dive metabolically at what's going on in that same draw. We're looking for cancer at the cellular level for over 50 types of cancer. That part in itself, I think is just phenomenal. It's amazing how many people have come through here. Look, the epitome of health. And we've caught cancer at stage zero. That's huge. If you can't catch it at stage zero, there's a lot you can do after that assessment. Then we do an ultrasound on all the major organs. We do a DEXA scan where we're looking at your bone density, the visceral fat around your organs, which is very important to address your overall body composition. And then we take you into a skin derm where we're doing a 360 degree analysis process of the skin. I just know for me to get to the dermatologist, that is one sometimes like, oh, let me just wait another six months. But to have this all done right here, they can, the AI that we use in that imaging can, you know, monitor every mole, every lesion, even year to year. It'll tell you if you have a different number of freckles, you know, that's how precise it's monitoring. And then we do a moto physio. The moto physio is analyzed by a physical therapist right there. And it's going to give you your complete muscular skeletal system. Why is that important? Well, number one, it's posture. So as we age, you know, we hunch over long for longevity. You know, we want to walk into a room proud. But more importantly, we're looking at this to prevent other issues, back issues. It'll show you if, like a knee is pronated, any imbalances, hips. You know, a lot of women that have come in and given birth, there's, you know, there's stuff that needs to be corrected with their hips. So if we address these, it was
- [04:51]
B
amazing to me because, you know, this, the, the technology and the systems, they don't know anything about, you know, the fact that I just had a baby, but nonetheless, it said that my shoulders were rounded, likely from breastfeeding. I'm like, how does it know? How does it know that I'm nursing right now?
- [05:05]
D
It's crazy.
- [05:06]
C
So. And it gives you, you know, so that's a perfect thing. So right now, wow, you're so young and that can so easily be addressed, so it's not a big issue. But, you know, sometimes I know for me, I was a big runner and one of my knees was starting to bother me. Well, it showed that one was pronated and it me the exact muscle that was too tight and the muscle is too weak and easy exercises to implement at home. So I'm not, you know, 10 years down the road looking, you know, a knee replacement. So I love that device. I just think it's incredible. And in minutes you have a complete analysis of that. But then we go into like the cardiovascular system, which, you know, on the treadmill, you blew it out of the park, of course. And, you know, I'm going to say what you experienced is we try to make this really fun for everybody. We want to turn up your favorite music. We want this to be something you look forward to doing while we're assessing all this. But, you know, that's a part. It's going to be an EKG in the heart and a stress test on the Heart and VO2 maps as well. And then from there we do complete vision and hearing cognitive testing. And, you know, that is another one that I would say sometimes surprises individuals. They're younger and sometimes some things they wouldn't expect any cognitive decline, but sometimes it'll show very, very early stages of some cognitive struggle. But the good news now is we can intervene, whether that's nutritional deficiencies that come up in our screening, sometimes we can intervene with peptide therapy, which we, you know, none of us had access to that just, you know, a few years ago. So there's hope in all these areas, no matter what is exposed. And we find out, you know, there's protocols we can take to, to help treat that early.
- [06:52]
B
Sorry, go ahead.
- [06:53]
C
Oh, I was just going to finish, but you can ask me another question if you want.
- [06:56]
B
No, I want you to finish. But I was going to say, like, what are some of the most surprising or maybe consequential discoveries that you guys have. Have made throughout, you know, these tests that have been done?
- [07:08]
C
You know, I would say can't. Catching cancer stage zero has been huge because most of the time that people that come through here, they walk in and they look the epitome of health. So that is one and I think very shocking to them and they're very grateful that they came. Bone density, you know, it's amazing. Now, I think probably with more of the GLP1 use that we're seeing, you know, some of the nutrition and stuff like that is we're starting to see more bone density Issues, men and women. I'm not saying it's solely GLP ones, but I think there's some nutritional deficiencies that we're seeing over the long term. And it's very surprising to some people because never in a million years would they realize their borderline osteoporosis or some of them young, 30s in their osteopenia. But again, great, we can intervene so early.
- [08:03]
B
I was really surprised because Dr. Vo actually said that I had low bone density, which was surprising to me given the fact that I lift and I run and I do high impact things and box jumps in the gym and whatever. But she asked me just to speak to how high level and really state of the art, not only the facility, but also the doctors are that are at Medici. She said, were you ever on birth control? And I said, I was actually, when I was in college, I was on birth control mostly because when you're competing in a sport where you're in a bathing suit and you're in and out of the water all the time, I just really wanted to skip my menstrual cycle. I didn't really want to have a period. And she said that's probably what has caused your low bone density, is you suppressed your hormones in your body when you prevented yourself from having the period. She said it has long term effects. And so to have that knowledge now being, you know, now 26 years old, but having, you know, a younger sister who competes in gymnastics and I would imagine would, would love the same ability to suppress her menstrual cycle. And now having a daughter, like, knowing those things is so critical in how I approach my health again, my daughter's health, health moving forward. But I would have never thought I would have had low bone density.
- [09:14]
C
Never. And you know, if it was standard protocol, they probably would have never even done a bone scan on you, you know, bone density scan, probably till your late 40s. And that's a big difference 20 years down the road than intervening with some easy things right now to, to help prevent any further issues with that. Well, you know, along those same lines, I had osteoporosis in my family, you know, lying. So I was the exact same as you. I was like lifting weights. I was running very, you know, keen on my diet supplementation. It turns out I had low boneless sales. Like how on earth. Well, then we took it a step further because we do DNA testing here as well for our concierge clients that we care for year round and it showed that I had a vitamin K metabolism issue so it was another step that, what an easy fix. You know, I can fix that now with my daughters to prevent that, even though I was doing all the other things. Right now with DNA testing, you can even be more precise in how you treat and find root causes of things. So back to the assessment, I guess, basically, just to sum it up really quickly, we do functional testing in addition to everything else I just mentioned. You have about 45 minutes with the physician. We are very keen and feel it's super important for every client that walks through these doors to have the utmost time to be heard, to ask questions, because a lot of times during that time is when you'll find other things that might give us more insight to what's going on in their body. And then two weeks later, you get a follow up call. And with that, we go through all the findings and you have a nice booklet that you can take with you or, you know, you move into our concierge program where we care for you year round.
- [10:56]
B
It really is amazing. And some of the practical solutions, or at least remedies that you can implement in your own life once you leave the Medici facility, once you have that conversation with Dr. Vo or any of the incredible doctors there about diet and sleep and different stretches you can implement are things that we have utilized, both my husband and myself. I talked about this in the recent vlog, but that's exactly what we did. We came down there, we did the exact health assessment that you described, and some of the findings were super duper cool, especially for my husband. I will say I made it out with a pretty clean bill of health. There are definitely some things that I could work on, of course, but my husband, he found out that, I mean, to kind of put it in plain words, he had sludge in his gallbladder. Um, and so now they were able to say, like, look, do you drink a lot of energy drinks? Do you drink a lot of diet soda? To which he, like, you know, hung his head in shame and said, yes, I do. But again, all things that at 26 years old, you can. You can work to change, so.
- [12:07]
C
Exactly. And it's a visual, right? You can be told, oh, energy drinks aren't that good for you. Well, when you're 26, 30s, you know, you feel great, but when you have a visual, it's like, oh, wow, it really is affecting me this young, and I can make changes now. You know, I love that the two of you came in together, and I am always, you know, proponent of that. When I'm talking to Clients thinking of coming in, like, make it a health date. Like, we make it fun. You can keep each other accountable. Or if you're in a corporate setting, you know, make it a team build event and send some of your leadership, and let's change the way caring for your health is viewed. It's not something that you dread. It's something fun. And that is something that we take upon ourselves to make sure you walk out the door. And you just are so glad you did that and can't wait to come back.
- [12:53]
B
And it gives you someone to help hold you accountable, which, you know, maybe I just say this as an athlete, but I think accountability, regardless of whatever realm of life we're even talking about, I think accountability is really, really huge in helping to accomplish your goals. And so Louis and I, we really did. We had the best day. And now I like, it's one of my favorite insults, honestly, to give him. And just like our little banter is saying that he has a sludgy gallbladder. So thank you guys for that.
- [13:21]
C
Oh, you know what? Thank goodness we caught something very small like this that's easy to address and change.
- [13:28]
B
So the conversation, I feel like, in today's world is so surrounding longevity, whether it's in physical appearance or aesthetics. We see women, you know, I think a lot of women in Hollywood who are, you know, using Botox and filler sometimes where they look like relatively unnatural, but I think we're going for that, you know, living longer. What should the conversation really be about?
- [13:55]
C
Right. Well, I always say, is it, do you want to live longer, or do you want to live a more vibrant life full of vitality? Longer, right? I put the word longer at the end. So, you know, we can live to our 100, but if the last 25 years is spent, you know, bedridden and uncomfortable and cognitive decline, you know, those last 25 years where they live vibrantly. So, you know, we like to say we want to live. Help you live the most vibrant life, whether you are 25, 26 years old right now. You know, let's optimize your health so you feel even better than you did, or you're walking through our doors and you're. You're 80 years old. Let's help keep you playing with your grandchildren and going for those walks and maybe even hiking. And we really can do that now with the technology and with the testing that we can do now. You know, here we do, outside of just the. The assessment that we've been talking about, we do other testing to look at you know, like your DNA. Like I said, how do we optimize your, your vitamins for your DNA and your exercise regimen? What are you predisposed to that? We can, you know, intervene early. So none of that has to transpire when you're 80 years old.
- [15:14]
B
If someone wants to be thriving at 80 rather than merely surviving as you described, what, what is it that they should be doing right now?
- [15:23]
C
Well, I always say that health. I look at it more as whole health. And I think we can all sit all equally agree, right? Like, complete health is mind, body and spirit. And I think when we see any one of those areas get out of balance, then when you're 80, you're not going to feel your optimum, right? If you focus so much on just the physical health that you've neglected your mental health because you've been working so much and isolated yourself from community, there's going to be a part of loneliness that doesn't make you feel your optimal self at age 80. So from a physical standpoint, optimally, I like to say, you know, let's put it in simple terms that every single person can do. Every single person, we really advocate for lifestyle medicine. It's every single thing you can do on a daily basis. A morning routine, getting sunshine, unplugging from the phone, and maybe having some prayer time, gratitude and, and downtime before you start your business, shopping the perimeter of the grocery store. You know, you never have to read a label if you shop the perimeter. And every single thing your body needs is on the perimeter of that grocery store. Taking out. People don't like to hear this one. Taking out the ear pods. You know, that could be a whole podcast in itself, but what is that doing to our children, to ourselves? You know, this EMF directly in, in the brain with these ear pods, but outside that, it's movement, it's what we eat, it's our sleep, you know, going to bed at the same time, rising at the same time. So I think some of those practical physical things lead to longevity, and it doesn't take a lot of money.
- [17:08]
B
What? Sorry, go ahead.
- [17:11]
C
And then just the, the mental health, you know, relationship time with loved ones. Like, we have to protect that time on our calendar. You know, I always say, like, if you have to block it out on your calendar time with a loved one or a friend, then that's the most important meeting of the day. You know, you have to do that for overall health and then your spiritual health as well. That I think leads to the ultimate vibrant longevity, you know, mind Body, spirit, you're optimizing it.
- [17:40]
B
You know, I, I love that. I just actually was in Texas at Turning Points, big WLS conference and I was wondering about what I should speak about. You know what? I was praying on it. Seriously, like woke up at 3am I hadn't really planned at all the night before of what I was going to say on stage at 10am and so I'm thinking about it, understanding it. It really is a unique opportunity when you're in front of, you know, 2,500 young high school, college age girls. It's a different demographic than even what I'm used to speaking to. And so one of the things that I really felt called to speak about was to unplug and disconnect. I think we as humans, like we weren't designed, intentionally created, ingest as much media and news and information as we do on a daily basis. You know, you think about it like we're following simultaneously elections and wars and celebrity scandals and natural disasters and shootings and all of these things that are often very heavy and overwhelming and they leave you feeling hopeless. Hence why I think we have a generation full of, you know, at least in higher rates of depression and isolation and horrible things, despite the fact that we really do have the most convenient lives, certainly more than our, our, you know, great grandparents. We have ChatGPT and Amazon prime and wonderful things, but nonetheless those clearly don't equate to happiness. What I spoke to on stage was what at least has left me feeling happy is spending time with family, developing meaningful relationships outside of the phone, deepening my personal relationship with Christ, focusing on my health. That's how I have found at least. Again, I don't think I have all of the answers, but for me that's what leaves me feeling fulfilled and satisfied and content and not necessarily searching for, for more.
- [19:33]
C
So you're, you're spot on, you know, and it kind of leads that to, you know, time stress. When we go back to investing in your health. Right. You know, ultimately what brings the most satisfaction is what you just said. It's time with your loved ones and time with Christ. And if we don't invest in our health, any aspect of health like we just talked about, you know, eczema is
- [20:01]
E
unpredictable, but you can flare less with epglis, a once monthly treatment for moderate to severe eczema. After an initial four month or longer dosing phase, about 4 in 10 people taking ECGLIS achieved itch relief and clear or almost clear skin at 16 weeks. And most of those people Maintain skin that's still more clear at one year with monthly dosing.
- [20:19]
F
Hemplis Lebricizumab LBKZ, a 250mg per 2ml injection, is a prescription medicine used to treat adults and children 12 years of age and older who weigh at least 88 pounds or 40 kilograms with moderate to severe eczema, also called atopic dermatitis, that is not well controlled with prescription therapies used on the skin or topicals or who cannot use topical therapies. EBGLIS can be used with or without topical corticosteroids. Don't use if you're allergic to ebglis. Allergic reactions can occur that can be severe. Eye problems can occur. Tell your doctor if you have new or worsening eye problems. You should not receive a live vaccine when treated with ebglis. Before starting ebglis, tell your doctor if you have a parasitic infection.
- [20:53]
E
Ask your doctor about ebgliss and visit ebgliss.lily.com or call 1-800-lilyrx or 1-800-545-5979.
- [20:59]
C
Something becomes out of balance, and all of a sudden we're feeling empty and unsatisfied. And pretty soon we start getting in that rabbit. The rabbit wheel I call where we're searching and searching and searching and moving faster and faster and faster and what we end up because of technology, we can multitask and do a million things at once. But really, ultimately on health, I don't think it's good for us. I like to say, you know, when I was 40, I learned the hard way, and I was doing all the great things. You know, I was keeping, you know, I was racing much more at that time. So physically, you know, I was training really hard. I was running CC4C, the nonprofit we talked about. I was a mom, busy mom of two, and I felt like I could do it all. And on the outside, it looked like I could. Well, you know, my body finally gave and my thyroid went out at 40. And they're like, how on earth did your thyroid go out? You eat healthy, you exercise. I was like, it's stress. Like, if we don't manage our stress, we can do the exercise and the diet and all those things, but ultimately it's going to take a toll on the body. So I, I just really feel it's very important that we, we look at our calendars. You know, one thing I do every morning, and it's worked great. I've been doing this for about the last five years, I wake up and I'm like, lord, any meeting today that is not of your will or your time, remove it from my calendar and place it with what is your will. And it's amazing. Like, sometimes half of my meetings will cancel. I'm like, actually, it wasn't the right time for that meeting or postpone. But it was exactly what he knew I needed for that day for my mental health, physical. Or maybe there was another meeting that he needed to replace it with.
- [22:40]
B
Yeah, I love that. It's. I have found that certainly to be the case as well. And I think kids help really reinforce that. Once you, you know, kind of remove the. The natural selfish attitude that you have and how you approach your day, and you have a whole nother human being who's like, entirely dependent and reliant on you, especially the best version of you, it kind of forces you to reprioritize in that way. But at least for me, and I think most people would find this to be the case certainly for the best, I'm a much better. The version of myself that I am now is significantly better. Like, I'm a 10 times better human being, a better Christian, a better wife, a better daughter to my parents because of my baby. So I certainly agree with you there.
- [23:27]
C
You're thinking about the next generation, right? And that's kind of what we were talking about in like, investing and your health. Like the most important thing that your children want from you. And now I'm thinking, oh, my goodness, now it's going to be my grandchildren, is they want you. They want you to be able to do all the things that they enjoy with you. And the way we do that is investing and protecting our health.
- [23:49]
B
What do you think the future of healthcare looks like in America? And what is it that our healthcare system, and I think insurance for that matter, where do you think we can improve?
- [24:01]
C
Yes. Okay. Well, first, where I think it's headed, really, due to AI and access at people's fingertips, regardless of your financial abilities, I think you have a lot more access. And we have an app called Dr. Gabby that's phenomenal. It's like having a doctor in your back pocket. You can upload your labs and everything. I think people right now are taking more it upon themselves to do some deeper searching into their own health and, and they can get some feedback from AI. So I think that is one thing. Now, as far as, like, let's say, in for us, our concierge care, we are looking at health much differently in that we're Forming a whole clinical team around every client. So we're not just having the physician. We have the physician and the health coach and the peptide specialists and the nurse all talking to one another on a weekly basis about every single one of our clients. How do we push the needle in their health? Whether it's an issue we're addressing right now or it's an issue that we're trying to prevent, we have a clinical team talking and looking at metrics that we didn't have before. And I think we're going to be able to see more and more and more. DNA is a huge one. Gut microbiome. I mean, that gives you more insights. I think we're going to be seeing that more and more used as a big protocol to address different issues that are going on that we previously didn't. So I would say more of this extensive testing. We're going to see. We do toxicity testing for our concierge clients. It's fascinating. You know, we're looking at heavy metals and plastics and pesticides. So why are these labs out of range? Well, instead of just saying these are out of range, we look at toxicity. Oh, wow. We need to adjust your toxicity, and maybe some of these levels are gonna come back to normal. So I think due to technology, due to the way we're really able to innovate testing, we're able to better address, I would say, root causes rather than just the symptoms once they arise.
- [26:10]
B
I think that's so good because oftentimes that is, as we've mentioned many times now, especially at the top of the show where that is, what we see is. It's almost like a band aid. You're putting a band aid on the symptoms as opposed to getting to the real root of the problem. So that's how you contribute to a healthier, better functioning society. So incredible. What about. I want to have Dr. Inga on the show with Medici to talk about peptides, because I have found it to be just the most fascinating, at least in the past few weeks. You know, really trying to understand and research and look at what this looks like and how regulated it is, blah, blah, blah. What about peptides? Where do they kind of fit into, like, the precision medicine model?
- [26:58]
C
Now, peptides, first of all, just really can push the needle in systems in your body that were previously, let's say, slow, slowing down are not. Not accurately working. It's. It signals. These peptides signal how that system should work, whether that's in performance areas, you know, muscle, your metabolism, energy, the mitochondria, we now we can support the mitochondria of every cell, which is the powerhouse of energy. You know, that can help cognitive function. We can do them for inflammation. I would say that's probably the most most exciting one right now, if I had to pick one, is inflammation. Because inflammation is really the root of most disease. A lot of times people will be like, I just feel so. Let's just say they're coming in here because they have a health condition and they are struggling with weight. You put them on some of these peptides just to decrease inflammation and all of a sudden their weight starts coming off, their gut heals and their body starts to heal naturally and perform the way it was. So, you know, we use them in different areas, which she'll, she'll explain more. But I think the biggest thing now is, I feel like it, it's empowering because no matter what comes up in an assessment or somebody that's been struggling, you know, of course the, the body composition, one that makes me happy when we have somebody that comes through 70 that's saying, I haven't felt this good since I was 30 in there in their smaller jeans and have put on some muscle, you know, but there was things we didn't have access to, to this before and now that we do, we can really, even if something is arises, we can treat it and really push the needle using peptide therapy, as long as it's done correctly. You know, we are very big on, on labs. You know, you need to know somebody's medical history because there are certain peptides they shouldn't be on if they have different things in their medical history. I like to give this example. I did one of the peptides to support human growth hormone. Right now I'm close to 50. I was like, oh, I started feeling incredible after two months. And I was like, I just might go run a Boston marathon again.
- [29:03]
B
Oh my gosh.
- [29:04]
C
I mean I still, I was like, maybe it still is in my future. But I mean I ran and I was like, oh my gosh. I feel like I did when I was 30 running. And they said, well, we have to run your lives before we'll do the next series of it. Well, my human growth hormone was at the top level of where it should be in two months. So

- [29:50]
C
had we not run labs and it continued to rise. And we run into another issue. Right. So we're very big proponents on monitoring every single client very closely so they can be used as powerhouse tools, but they just need to be monitored correctly.
- [30:07]
B
All right, it's time for your why Refi break. I want to talk to you guys about something that is quietly burdening so many people. That is private student loan debt. If your monthly payment feels like it's crushing you, like it's way higher than what you can actually afford, or maybe you're even falling behind, maybe you're in default, I want you to know you're not stuck forever. There is light at the end of the tunnel. And that light is why Refi. They specialize in helping people who feel trapped by private student loans. The ones that most lenders won't even look at, by the way. And they refinance your loan and they sit down with you one on one to create a realistic payment plan that you can actually afford. That often means significantly lower monthly payments. It means a low fixed interest rate. And the best part of this is they don't care about what your credit score is. So if student loans have been weighing you down, this could be the relief that you've been praying for. Go to yrefi.com that is yre f y.com and be sure to tell them that Riley from the Riley Gaines show sent you. Where can people go to learn more about Medici and what you guys have to offer?
- [31:11]
C
Yes, well, we our website Medi CI so it's Medici, but M E D I dot CI or our Instagram Medici Health as well, but both are there. And you know, most of your clients will probably get to visit directly with me as well about any whether they're interested in the executive assessment, their concierge care. Will we care for you year round or our peptide therapy. Everything can be found on our website.
- [31:39]
B
What role? I. I asked this knowing, you know, a lot of the. The people who are at Medici who call Medici home. What role does faith play and how you guys operate with your clients? But I think more importantly, as a team and together.
- [31:57]
C
Well, that is one of the most important, I think, questions you could ask especially for me. And that's why I'm here. We are faith based and you know, we, we care for every single person that walks through our doors, regardless of faith. But we are a praying team and you know, we do rounding on our clients and we pray over our clients and the people that are going to be coming through our doors. So I like to say, you know, we can have the best technology, we can have the best physicians, we can offer the best testing, but there's no better wisdom and discernment than from our Father above. And I think when you have an entire team surrendering to his will and his discernment to care for every client, you know, I think there's a whole nother level of care that we can give them. And secondly, I always like to say I'm here because we will never get stagnant in seeking what's best for them. And part of that is my role too, you know, and trying to find. Are we always giving the best test that's out there for whether it's gut microbiome we mentioned or DNA or the CGMs, you know, whatever we're using. We will never stop seeking for our clients to make sure that we're providing the best care so they can hopefully go live and pursue the calling God has on their life while we are managing and taking care of their health.

You know, I thought being bloated after every meal was normal. It's not. Once I really focus on changing my gut, everything changed. I'm talking, yes, obviously, the bloat, my hair, my skin, my nails, even my immunity. And one thing that I noticed that
- [33:36]

made a really big difference for me
- [33:38]

was taking cowboy colostrum. I started taking cowboy colostrum for my gut. But the results that I did not expect are the ones that really shocked me. My hair is noticeably thicker, which, this is something that's really important to me now, being what, nearly nine months postpartum, I still have a full head of hair. I didn't really suffer from the postpartum hair loss. My skin is very clear. I don't have that bloated feeling anymore. Colostrum, I found out it supports your gut health.

And when your gut is right, everything
- [34:08]
D
else really follows that. And it's not just my experience. Cowboy actually ran a clinical study and the numbers back it up. It says that 83 participants reported improved gut health, 79% experienced less bloating and inflammation, 72% saw improved digestion, and 62% saw fuller, thicker hair. Today's sponsor is Cowboy Colostrum. They offer the highest quality bovine colostrum available in the US. It is 100% made in America from 100% American grass fed cows. Unlike other colostrum brands, Cowboy is true. First day whole colostrum rich in bioactives and growth factors. But don't worry, Cowboy Colostrum only collects the surplus colostrum after baby calves have had their fill. It's not processed or stripped down. Their colostrum is whole, full fat. Don't let that scare you. Full fat in this form with whole and natural fats is actually a good thing. No artificial flavors, no fillers, just real whole ingredients. It became an effortless part of my daily routine.

You could throw it in smoothies.

I've even found fun ways of incorporating it into recipes like protein balls. I put it in my yogurt even. Sometimes it's really that easy.

Well, it's so funny because when I came and did the executive health assessment, you go through the ultrasound, they do an ultrasound of every major organ. And so I took all my jewelry off. You know, all 10,000 earrings I have and my necklace and I always wear a cross necklace and I left it there. And so I was so glad to get my new cross necklace that I haven't yet taken off from Genesis doesn't tarnish. You can wear it with whatever. I actually layer it even with other necklaces. So I highly encourage all of the, the girls listening to go check it out because again, the, the jewelry is beautiful, but the causes that you're supporting and, and the message that's being spread, the conversations that you can have because of this jewelry, super awesome.

So Tamara, thank you, Riley. You know, my, my desire is, you know, it leaves a legacy that leaves a legacy of his word. When I took on this role, I basically prayed. I said, lord, I'm surrendering the jewelry to you to bring your helpers. As I pursue, I felt like he was calling me into Medici because of my experience and ways that hopefully I could help countless people with their health through what we provide so they can pursue their callings in life. And it's amazing how he's just used both of those and even the non profit to help his kids that need it. Most all three of them have interwoven. Beautiful. And of course, it was his design that I could have never thought of on my own.

B
No. How could we? Well, we appreciate you for coming on and for those listening, we're going to have Dr. Inga on soon again. We just had my results from the DNA testing, which I thought that was so cool. I found out things about potential,

you

B
know, ailments or diseases, I don't know what a good word is. Things that you could potentially face and ways to combat it early. Like, I'm talking Alzheimer's and different types of cancer. It was so cool. So we had the vlog come out earlier this week, so.
- [37:42]
C
Oh, it's. It's so empowering. You know, it's not to fear. It's just empowering. Now we get on top of all of those and, and address it even for, you know, I say for your kids, you find out stuff that was so helpful for me with my girls, you know, I can integrate. Genetics are passed down often times. So, yeah, very grateful. You have that at your fingertips. And we continue to just be honored to care for you and your family 100%.
