Can modern medicine solve chronic disease—or is it solving the wrong problem?

In this episode of Trying 2 Learn, I sit down with Dr. Michael Crabtree, Director of Scientific Affairs & Product Development at Bio Energy Life Sciences, to explore one of the biggest debates in healthcare today.

Michael's journey is anything but typical. After studying biochemistry, working in quality assurance, traveling the world in the nutraceutical industry, and earning a doctorate in naturopathic medicine, he developed a very different perspective on how we approach human health.

We discuss:

  • Why acute medicine and chronic disease require different approaches
  • The relationship between nutrition, supplements, and pharmaceuticals
  • Why quality matters so much in the supplement industry
  • How consumers can identify trustworthy supplement brands
  • The challenges of bringing scientifically supported ingredients to market
  • The science behind cellular energy, ATP, and NAD
  • How Bio Energy Life Sciences develops and researches new ingredients

Whether you agree with every point or not, this conversation is an opportunity to hear how someone deeply involved in nutritional science thinks about modern healthcare, research, and the future of wellness.
