Ep. 40 - Common Sense Healthcare: Using Ancient Remedies and Cutting Edge Innovations with Dr. Craig Koniver

In this episode of One Day with Jon Bier, Jon sits with Dr. Craig Koniver to discuss the ever-evolving landscape surrounding COVID-19, vaccines, and viruses. Dr. Koniver discusses the potential benefits of IV therapy, shedding light on the benefits of having a drip of curcumin, lactoferrin, and olive leaf extract. He also challenges the all-too-common practice of prescribing medication without exploring every viable option first. Dr. Koniver explores the fascinating world of peptides, ozone therapy, and VSELs in sports medicine, and the promising potential of wearables and telemedicine platforms for individualized health recommendations. Craig Koniver, MD, is a health and human performance expert in nutrient and science-driven protocols for performance and longevity. He has overseen more NAD+ and peptide therapies than any other physician in the world, and counts Fortune 100 CEOs, professional athletes, A-list Hollywood actors, and Special Forces servicemen among his many clients. Powerful Quotes by Dr. Koniver "I'm a clinician, not an academic, so I'm only interested in results. I don't want to have to wait 20 years for the academics to tell me it's okay to do something." "I was never for the mandates. I want everyone to be sovereign over their own choices." "The healthcare system works really well for acute injuries and some hardcore diseases, but it's not going to help you be your best self, perform your best, nor live your best life." Key Highlights As we have already seen with COVID-19 and its numerous variants, we have to take note that viruses, like the flu, change and morph every year, and so should the way we defend ourselves against these viruses. Lactoferrin can be used to naturally balance iron levels, while olive leaf extract has anti-inflammatory properties. Ozone therapy has potential for performance enhancement in professional sports. The benefits of small embryonic lineage cells can help reduce inflammation and rejuvenate organs. Peptides can likewise have potential benefits for athletes, but also potential side effects like fatigue, muscle loss, and thinning hair. We tend to overvalue how much we need to eat and undervalue how much we need to move.
