How many times have you visited your doctor with a health problem like low back pain but have no idea how or why it happened (and neither does your doctor)?

Unfortunately, the world of conventional medicine is set up all too well to treat your symptoms, but never to get the root of the problem. In other words, one that favors (and profits) a dysfunctional medical system and not you.

In this very special solocast, Paul explains why applying an integrated approach like CHEK Life Process Alchemy to common health problems offers the best, safest and lasting solutions this week on Spirit Gym.

In search of the next miracle “cure,” Big Pharma has become very proficient at developing highly effective and obscenely profitable drugs aimed at treating rare diseases (think $750,000 per year) at the expense of ignoring newer, safer and effective treatments geared to a wider audience.

Alex Martinez, CEO and cofounder of Intrinsic Medicine, shares his amazing journey from being a healthcare attorney who witnessed the good, bad and mostly ugly in Big Pharma to revolutionizing how we care for the human microbiome this week on Spirit Gym.

Several weeks ago, Paul dissected the good and the bad of Artificial Intelligence (AI) from the tech side on Spirit Gym with tech consultant/UX researcher Rachel Miles.

A huge question remained unanswered after that conversation: How do we retain our humanity amid the avalanche of AI tech?

Venture capitalist, entrepreneur and first-time author Jeff Burninhgam embraces the answer to that very question in his book, The Last Book Written by a Human: Becoming Wise in the Age of AI.

Jeff explains why the presence of AI is an important reminder to embrace our humanity and how the beauty in life is not trying to achieve perfection but to relish in its messiness and imperfection this week on Spirit Gym.
