Dr. Mull is here to share his insights and experiences on the current state of the medical system and the importance of collaboration in the health and fitness industry.

Dr. Mull starts by addressing the challenges of high demand and long wait times in the medical system. He believes that urgent care centers, while crucial for saving lives, often prioritize non-urgent cases and leave patients waiting. He advocates for the establishment of more accessible clinics and better reimbursements for healthcare services.

Collaboration and learning from others is a key theme in Dr. Mull's discussion. He emphasizes the importance of humility and being open to learning from professionals in different fields. By breaking down the silos that exist within the industry, professionals can avoid issues like under-dosing and injuries.
