Sam Tejada spent 12 years as a firefighter paramedic watching the same people call 911 over and over. Not because the system was failing them. Because the system was working exactly the way it was designed to, which is treating sickness, not preventing it. He watched people show up in the back of his ambulance with grocery bags full of medications that contradicted each other, prescribed by doctors who never talked to one another, for conditions that started with lifestyle choices nobody ever addressed.

He could not keep being a product of that system. So he built a different one.

Today Sam is the founder and president of Liquivida, a multi million dollar wellness company with a network of over 4,000 physicians and practitioners nationwide. He is the author of How to Win in Modern Wellness and the chairman of the American IV Association. He started it at 26 years old on his days off from the fire department out of a single room in a chiropractor's office that was collecting dust.

In this episode Sam and Sean get into why longevity science is 25 years ahead of what your doctor is actually practicing, what the pharmaceutical system is doing to your hormones and cellular health without you realizing it and what prevention actually looks like when someone builds an entire company around it.

If you care about your health, your hormones, your energy or what you are putting in your body this episode will change how you think about all of it.
