In this debut episode of Share the Lifestyle, Stephen and Moriah sit down with functional medicine expert Dr. Kyle Gillette to bridge the gap between conventional algorithms and true root-cause healing. From the "Wolverine Stack" to why you might be using AI wrong for your health, we’re deconstructing the organic machine that is the human body.

‍"The pillars of health are the lifestyle interventions for good health that are more powerful than any medication or supplements. If you knock one down, no pill or injection can replace it."
