Dr. Jones graduated from medical school with a scholarship but ended up realising that most doctors don't learn how to make people's lives better in school; so instead he spent a lot of his time on functional medicine and wellness centres, where he learned to apply more holistic methods of dieting and examinations to optimise people's health on a case-by-case basis, completely changing how his clients live and feel daily. He talks about the ways people get sick, what could be missing in your diet, nutrients of all kinds, and better living through re-education.
