The Healthcare Revolution Is Just Getting Started
About this video
Justin Mares, founder of Kettle and Fire bone broth company, joins Sam and Shaan to discuss emerging health trends and business opportunities. The hosts explore investment ideas spanning pet health, toxin transparency in food, functional medicine, home health assessments, and gut-skin health, while discussing controversial wellness stances on vaccines, sunscreen, polyester clothing, and fruit consumption.
Key takeaways
- Justin believes pet health trends lag human health trends by 2-3 years, with opportunities in fresh dog food and pet supplements as dog cancer rates rise and younger generations own more dogs than babies
- Light Labs, Justin’s brother’s company, is building a modern lab-testing service that brings transparency to food toxins (glyphosate, phthalates, POPs) beyond required nutrition labels, creating incentives for cleaner supply chains
- Function Health and similar biomarker testing services are growing rapidly by lowering friction for consumers to understand blood work and health markers, enabling future optimization services tailored to specific biomarkers
- Justin proposes a major skincare opportunity combining effective topical treatments (peptides, retinol) with gut health interventions (probiotics, bone broth) over 30-60 days, as most skincare products lack evidence
- Home health audits (testing air quality, water, EMF, lighting, VOCs) represent an emerging market for wealthy health-conscious consumers willing to pay $5-10K for assessments, with AI potential to democratize the service
