Airplanes and operating rooms don’t usually have much in common, but for Ryan Encinas, both are launchpads into transformation.


Before co-founding a health optimization platform and pioneering the use of the BioPhotonic Scanner, Ryan spent years inside surgical suites, navigating everything from tumor removals to joint replacements. But it wasn’t the procedures that shook him—it was the broken system behind them. He saw how medicine often overlooked the root cause of cellular dysfunction from toxicity and nutrient deficiency.


So he made a shift. A big one.


Now, Ryan’s all about color, not just metaphorically, but biochemically. Specifically, carotenoids. These colorful compounds found in everything from blueberries to marigolds are key to measuring cellular health, immune resilience, and long-term vitality. Ryan walks us through how his team has done over 28 million non-invasive antioxidant scans, what those results mean, and why 99% of people are nutritionally starving at the cellular level.


In this episode, Ryan and I dive into how stress alters physiology, why mindset matters as much as minerals, and what it means to radically own your health. You’ll also learn why humans should pay attention to how plants use color as a survival strategy.



“ When we measure people's carotenoid antioxidant status, which we've done 28 million tests, 99% of people don't measure up. 99% of the population is starving at the cellular level.” ~ Ryan Encinas
