The Care We Need

In this episode, Brett Benes sits down with Dr. Anil Bajnath — Founding President of the American Board of Precision Medicine and CEO of the Institute for Human Optimization — to expose the growing gap between what modern diagnostic science can do and what the current insurance system allows. Dr. Bajnath breaks down why standard labs are missing the root causes of complex illness, including environmental toxins, biotoxin exposure, and persistent infectious agents like Lyme, Babesia, and EBV. He introduces the concept of a comprehensive biological audit — drawing from blood, urine, saliva, stool, genomics, and microbiome data — to reverse engineer chronic illness from the molecular level up. The conversation covers P4 medicine, AI integration in clinical practice, HIPAA-compliant tools, and practical steps for providers ready to shift toward a precision and longevity medicine model. If you are a health professional treating complex illness or a patient who has been told your labs are normal, this episode will change how you think about diagnosis and healing.DONATIONS: To support our cause or pay it forward to support our next podcast, donate $10 here: https://buy.stripe.com/dRm3cvflvfiE14UdbmaR200RESOURCES:KEYNOTE SPEECHES: Tenay is offering two dynamic keynote speeches:'Winning The War On Complex Illness' helps health, wellness, and human services organizations ask the right questions to optimize their teams' cohesion and clients' health outcomes.'Heal or Die' geared to empower complex illness sufferers with the mindset and lessons Tenay used to go from bedridden to thriving in family and business.GO TO: tenaybenes.com/speaker to learn more or book Tenay for your next event.CONSULTING: Consulting Services to help health, wellness, and human services organizations, corporations, and practices optimize their systems to improve client and team outcomes without spending a ton of money or rebuilding from scratch.GO TO: BenesCompanies.com to learn more and submit your request for proposals.HEALTH-TECH LAUNCH: The Care We Need is new platform designed to streamline the matching and intake process for clients and providers alike.

Dr. Demetria Bolden, health systems researcher at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus, breaks down why U.S. healthcare is losing public trust — and why it's not the fault of clinicians or patients. From cardiovascular disparities to the 8-minute visit, she traces how historically inherited systems create outcomes nobody intended, and what it actually takes to rebuild trust from the ground up.Key TakeawaysThe healthcare system wasn't designed to fail patients — it evolved that way, and understanding how matters more than assigning blameClinicians are measured on metrics that make genuine patient care structurally difficultTrust isn't lost in a single interaction — it's eroded by systems patients navigate long before they reach a doctorRebuilding trust requires curiosity first — asking why, not just fixing what's visibleReal change requires more than healthcare — policy, city planning, education and infrastructure all play a roleContact Dr. Bolden on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/demetriamcneal/DONATIONS: To support our cause or pay it forward to support our next podcast, donate $10 here: https://buy.stripe.com/dRm3cvflvfiE14UdbmaR200RESOURCES:KEYNOTE SPEECHES: Tenay is offering two dynamic keynote speeches:'Winning The War On Complex Illness' helps health, wellness, and human services organizations ask the right questions to optimize their teams' cohesion and clients' health outcomes.'Heal or Die' geared to empower complex illness sufferers with the mindset and lessons Tenay used to go from bedridden to thriving in family and business.GO TO: tenaybenes.com/speaker to learn more or book Tenay for your next event.CONSULTING: Consulting Services to help health, wellness, and human services organizations, corporations, and practices optimize their systems to improve client and team outcomes without spending a ton of money or rebuilding from scratch.GO TO: BenesCompanies.com to learn more and submit your request for proposals.HEALTH-TECH LAUNCH: The Care We Need is new platform designed to streamline the matching and intake process for clients and providers alike.

Most health orgs fire the wrong people when change stalls. The real problem stays. The good people leave. The change fails — and nobody knows why.Tenay Benes breaks down the Pyramid of Resistance, a change management framework she developed while serving in Baghdad and has since applied to health, wellness, and human services organizations. Not all resistance is the same. Treating it like it is will sink your change effort.3 types of resistors. 3 very different responses: — Bottom 60%, "This Is Hard" — These are your frontline workers on autopilot. Make the change easier than the status quo and they'll follow. — Middle 30%, "You're Doing It Wrong" — These are experienced professionals with real concerns. Bring them to the table. Listen. Adjust. — Top 10%, "This Threatens Me" — High competence, low character. They benefit from the old system's vulnerabilities and they will never change. Let them go.The hardest truth in change management: the most confident, capable-looking person in your organization is often the one who needs to go first.RESOURCES:KEYNOTE SPEECHES: Tenay is offering two dynamic keynote speeches:'Winning The War On Complex Illness' geared to help health, wellness, and human services organizations ask the right questions to optimize their teams' cohesion and clients' health outcomes.'Heal or Die' geared to empower complex illness sufferers with the mindset and lessons Tenay used to go from bedridden to thriving in family and business.GO TO: tenaybenes.com/speaker to learn more or book Tenay for your next event.CONSULTING: Consulting Services to help health, wellness, and human services organizations, corporations, and practices optimize their systems to improve client and team outcomes without spending a ton of money or rebuilding from scratch.GO TO: BenesCompanies.com to learn more and submit your request for proposals.HEALTH-TECH LAUNCH: The Care We Need is new platform designed to streamline the matching and intake process for clients and providers alike.

What if aging isn't inevitable — it's just underfunded? Dr. Bill Andrews has spent over 40 years finding the biological mechanism behind aging and developing a path to reverse it. In this episode, he breaks down the science of telomeres — the cellular "ride tickets" that control how many times our cells can divide — and explains why nearly every major disease, from cancer and heart disease to AIDS and dementia, connects back to their length.This isn't theoretical. Dr. Andrews led the team that discovered telomerase, the enzyme that re-lengthens telomeres. Reversal of aging has already been demonstrated in human cells and tissue. The science works. What's missing is funding.For health and human services professionals treating complex illness, this reframes everything: inflammation, immune failure, and cellular degeneration all trace to the same root mechanism.In this episode: the Hayflick Limit, telomerase discovery, PTSD and telomere length, what patients can do now, why biotech funding is broken, the Best Choice Medicine march on Washington, and how close we actually are to longevity escape velocity.Resources and People Mentioned:People: Dr. Bill Andrews (Sierra Sciences) · Elizabeth Parrish (BioViva Sciences) · Dr. Ronald DePinho (Harvard/MD Anderson) · Dr. Amy Doneen, DNP (cardiovascular prevention, Spokane WA) · Dr. Jason Williams (cancer) · Dr. Shelley Jordan (dementia) · Dr. Terry Grossman · Aubrey de Grey · Dr. Elissa Epel · Leonard Hayflick · Zachary Brooks (UGenome)Organizations: · BioViva Sciences · Touchstone Essentials (thegoodinside.com) · Cell Science Services (ALCAT test) · Synapfile (SYNAP) · Timeline · UGenomeProducts:Telovitil · GlucoControl · Pure Body/Pure Body Extra · Fulvic · NattoKlear · Urolithin A · Nicotinamide Riboside · N-Acetylcysteine · EGCG · Alpha Lipoic Acid · ALCAT TestMedia: Documentary — The Immortalists · Paper — Best Choice Medicine (Andrews & Parrish) · Book — Fantastic Voyage: Live Long Enough to Live Forever (Kurzweil & Grossman) · Book — The Telomere Effect (Blackburn & Epel) · Diane Sawyer telomere reversal reportDONATIONS: To support our cause or pay it forward to support our next podcast, donate $10 here: https://buy.stripe.com/dRm3cvflvfiE14UdbmaR200RESOURCES:KEYNOTE SPEECHES:Win The War On Complex Illness - for health, wellness, and human service organizations.Heal or Die - for complex illness sufferers.CONSULTING for health, wellness, and human service organizations.HEALTH-TECH LAUNCH for health, wellness, and human service organizations and their complex illness clients.GO TO: BenesCompanies.com to sign up for our newsletter, be the first to know about user testing opportunities, product launch, patient and provider signups, and investment opportunities. CONTACT:https://benescompanies.com/links/DISCLAIMERS: This episode contains affiliate links.

What if your client’s environment is quietly undoing your care plan? In this episode, Christopher Zdenek reframes ergonomics as a clinical lever—not just comfort. He shows how physical environments shape physiology, behavior, and recovery, especially in complex illness.This conversation is for health, wellness, and human services professionals who see limited progress despite strong interventions. It offers a practical lens on how environment, nervous system, trauma history, and development interact—and why treating them separately stalls outcomes.What you’ll learn:Why ergonomics, when aligned with anatomy and nervous system function, becomes a whole-person interventionHow trauma shows up in posture, regulation, cognition, and behavior—and what that means for treatment sequencingA simple 3-stage model to better interpret client patterns and readinessContact Chris at ([email protected]) or learn more at:www.wheredowegofromhere.tvwww.thebetternewworldorder.comENTER CODE "BENESCOMPANIES" at https://www.somaergo.com/ upon checkout to receive a discount on your ergonomic chair!DONATIONS: To support our cause or pay it forward to support our next podcast, donate $10 here: https://buy.stripe.com/dRm3cvflvfiE14UdbmaR200RESOURCES:KEYNOTE SPEECHES: Tenay is offering two dynamic keynote speeches:'Winning The War On Complex Illness' helps health, wellness, and human services organizations ask the right questions to optimize their teams' cohesion and clients' health outcomes.'Heal or Die' geared to empower complex illness sufferers with the mindset and lessons Tenay used to go from bedridden to thriving in family and business.GO TO: tenaybenes.com/speaker to learn more or book Tenay for your next event.CONSULTING: Consulting Services to help health, wellness, and human services organizations, corporations, and practices optimize their systems to improve client and team outcomes without spending a ton of money or rebuilding from scratch.GO TO: BenesCompanies.com to learn more and submit your request for proposals.HEALTH-TECH LAUNCH: The Care We Need is new platform designed to streamline the matching and intake process for clients and providers alike.

This episode breaks down why complex chronic cases often stall—and what actually helps them move forward.Erin Kleopa shares her 18-year path through chronic pain and food sensitivities, including failed medication approaches and limited results from conventional care. What changed wasn’t a single intervention, but a shift in approach: addressing diet, nervous system patterns, and deeper drivers of symptoms in a more coordinated way.Her case highlights a common gap many providers face—treating isolated symptoms without a framework to integrate physical, behavioral, and environmental inputs. As her care expanded to include nutrition, stress patterns, and meaning-making, her outcomes improved in ways that standard approaches hadn’t achieved.For practitioners and organizations, this conversation points to a practical reality: better outcomes in complex illness often require structured coordination across disciplines, not just more interventions. The takeaway is less about any one modality, and more about how care is sequenced, integrated, and adapted over time.You can find Erin on LinkedIn.DONATIONS: To support our cause or pay it forward to support our next podcast, donate $10 here: https://buy.stripe.com/dRm3cvflvfiE14UdbmaR200RESOURCES:KEYNOTE SPEECHES: Tenay is offering two dynamic keynote speeches:'Winning The War On Complex Illness' geared to help health, wellness, and human services organizations ask the right questions to optimize their teams' cohesion and clients' health outcomes.'Heal or Die' geared to empower complex illness sufferers with the mindset and lessons Tenay used to go from bedridden to thriving in family and business.GO TO: tenaybenes.com/speaker to learn more or book Tenay for your next event.CONSULTING: Consulting Services to help health, wellness, and human services organizations, corporations, and practices optimize their systems to improve client and team outcomes without spending a ton of money or rebuilding from scratch.GO TO: BenesCompanies.com to learn more and submit your request for proposals.HEALTH-TECH LAUNCH: The Care We Need is new platform designed to streamline the matching and intake process for clients and providers alike.
