Patient care and health are on the verge of a paradigm shift, and personalized health professionals are on the tip of the spear. What are the biggest factors responsible for this shift? On this week’s episode I discuss this with the founder of Scala Precision Health, Russ Scala and touch on the current problems in healthcare, the drop in testosterone and TRT’s role in battling mental health issues and heart problems.
Three Takeaways
We kicked off the show with a bit of Russ Scala’s story and his interest in how stress compromises the body. This interest goes back to when he worked in the ER and later on as a SWAT team member. This led to him starting Scala Precision Health, an institution driven by the need to empower people to take their health into their own hands. There’s going to be a huge paradigm shift in health spurred on by the fact that healthcare in its current state cannot deal with a lot of health concerns.
We discussed the common stereotype - people thinking that doctors know everything. I asked Russ how he combats this way of thinking when dealing with older patients. Next we discussed the issue of low testosterone and the reasons behind it. Russ stresses the importance of environmental factors like pesticides, shampoo and other products the patient may have been exposed to.
Russ went onto mention the importance of a “a virus of knowledge” and creating content that educates the masses about taking their health into their own hands. This content should be aimed at families, and not doctors. Next we discussed the cardio protective elements of testosterone and what it does for your arteries on the cellular level. Towards the end of the show we discussed how testosterone also combats PTSD and diabetes. We also discussed Russ Scala’s perspective on ketogenic dieting.
The reality of healthcare is that doctors have filters that stand between them being able to really meet the needs of patients. This has left a space for a huge paradigm shift that will see people having more control over their own health. TRT is part of this shift, and through it we can begin to see changes in how we tackle mental illness and diabetes. The shift also means you can be the CEO of your own health.
