The Future of Health and Wellness

Hey, I'd like to welcome you to another episode of Mission Matters. My name is Adam Torres, and I'm happy to announce that I'm in Santa Monica, California today at the AI Vibes Conference. A big shout out to Tal Navarro and her team. They put on an amazing conference, panels, speakers, so much more. I have Elise, Dr. Elise Briscoe on the show. to snag her for a bit. Elise, first off, just want to say welcome to the show. Thank you for having me, Adam. I'm a big fan. All right. So, I mean, your fashion model runway model you have N well health. I mean, a lot going on. We're got, we got a lot to cover today, but first to get us kicked off AI vibe, Santa Monica, how do you feel? How's the day going for you? It was really great. I was inspired to new levels and realizing how much AI has extended our reach. I mean, just like beyond our wildest imagination, things that I didn't think were possible before now. It's going to make my life a little bit easier, actually. What? So I know there are a lot of panels and I know when I go to events like this, probably a lot of the audience, when they go to events like this, everything to me is always jumbled in my head. But did anything stick out to you? Like, was there any like nuggets or bits of knowledge or speakers that like, what, what stuck out to you today? Yeah. Well, hollow AI really inspired me because I'm, I'm developing a new health and wellness platform, and this is going to help extend my reach, allow me to interact with patients and users through an AI character and avatar and do so much and maybe do the initial diagnosis and also give them little clinical tidbits without me having to be there. So it, it connects you to your user more because there's this. Avatar that looks just like you and sounds like you and it takes a minute for you to set up. So I thought that was really impressive. Yeah, yeah. I feel like that that's been a big winner at this whole conference a lot of people talk about, talking about we just had Mackenzie on the show a moment ago and she was talking about it too. And I'm like, all these use case scenarios for what's possible with this. I wanna. And also the dog. Oh, let me tell you, I got us, I got a Tom, but I was waiting for it. I've been waiting to work the story and for everybody. So I, I've been a fan of of Tom bot for a bit now. Like I, I had I had Tom on the show a long time ago. And and when I seen, and when I first met the met the dog and everything, I was like in person at the conference, I intuitively did not look at Tom. And then I was like, wait, I just ran to the dog. I'm like, oh my gosh, it's you. Like I felt like dopamine level rise because I was so happy to touch Jenny, the dog. I was starstruck by Jenny and it was funny. Cause I have a video of this. It's on my Instagram. It's ridiculous because then I'm like, Oh, I'm a YouTube. Hi Tom. Cause we never met in person, but I was hanging out with Jenny. Oh, it was ridiculous, but amazing to see like that technology and what they're doing and otherwise. And I'm like you know. What's next? So realistic. I mean, when I was young, we didn't even have calculators. We didn't even have answering machines, no cell phones or anything. So it's just crazy what I've witnessed in my life. So what brought you here today? Like what, what interests you in AI? Like what, what brought you here today? Just overall, like it's a hot topic. I'm the founder of a vision wellness platform called nwell health. We're looking for ways that we can add more value for our users. And my goal is to make. Lifestyle your main form of medicine using self care is your health care, because right now people either can't afford the time or the money to seek health care. There's just not enough health care practitioners out there. So I want to know what I want to use the latest technology because that allows us to do more and reach more people because it's all about this international reach. Having an app and a website is going to be amazing for us. But now, with a I, it's almost as if I'm there. Giving a consultation to a patient without having to be there once we load it with all my proprietary Techniques and protocols. Yeah, then we can just do so much more and help so many people More people at a fraction of the cost. Yeah. So I was looking to see what's out there that I can take advantage of. And I'm, and I'm just a big tech nerd. I love it. So I'm very excited. Were you always entrepreneurial? Like where'd that come from? Yes. Well, I ran a practice for 34 years. It was an integrative wellness practice. I exited that. I did a, a merger and acquisition with a private equity company. Then I have two patents. I invented something to replace reading glasses, a company called nearsight. So we are licensing my Intellectual property now. And this is my third company. And wow. Yeah. So I'm so I always like to say, I don't like when people start going down, I'm like, we just like pain. We're entrepreneurs. I don't
