Short excerpt of a YouTube video ("Situations = Opportunity") in which Sachin Patel frames chaos as opportunity and explains efforts to make functional medicine more accessible and affordable. He notes the cost barriers (testing, supplements) and describes teaching people to use their bodies, environment, and food more intentionally to self-manage care.
So I always look at every situation as opportunity, right? So the symbol for chaos and opportunity in the Chinese language are pretty much identical to one another. So when other people see chaos, what I see is opportunity. And, you know, one of the things that we've been trying to do over the last few years is make our care more accessible and affordable to as broad a market and audience as we possibly can. And in the functional medicine world, you know, that's not an easy thing because, you know, testing can get really expensive. Supplementation can get really expensive. Like things start adding up pretty quickly. And one of the things that we did a couple years ago was, was really try to teach people how to become their own best doctor and really use their body as a mechanism for healing and use their environment and food and all the things that they're already doing by doing them more intentionally and use that as a healing opportunity.
