Dr. Charles Mok explains why staying healthy often costs money out of pocket. Insurance won't cover weight-loss drugs or testosterone treatments for aging because insurers don't classify these as medically necessary, even though they work. Gym memberships, saunas, good food, and yoga classes all require spending if you want them.

Everything that is related to your health is not going to be free. You know, you may have to pay for a gym membership. You might have to pay for, you know, a sauna. If you're trying to do some longevity stuff with sauna, you might pay for healthy foods. You might have to pay for, you know, meditation classes or yoga, and you might to pay for some of your medications. We see this with some of the weight loss drugs, which are very effective. Insurance companies don't see obesity as a medical disease. Low testosterone due to aging is not considered medically necessary, but the benefits are fairly clear, at least in my opinion.
