Dr. Mark Hyman

And I don't think you're crazy.

And the truth is your doctor is missing something.

So let me tell you why understanding labs are important and why

understanding how to use them, how to interpret them is even more important.

So lab tests are powerful tools for understanding what's going on underneath the hood in your body.

They can help you identify things that are cooking along the continuum of disease.

It doesn't just happen from one day to the next that you get sick.

You get sick slowly, invisibly, pre-symptomatically, asymptomatically, until one day you start to get symptoms and

And then eventually you get a disease and then you need a drug.

And then it's just a chronic vicious cycle from there.

And the key here is to understand labs in the context of your biology and how to optimize your health through tuning your system up.

It's like all the systems in your car.

Everything's got to be tuned up right for your car to run right.

You need the right air in the tires.

You need the right.

Truing for your steering wheel, you need, I don't know, I'm not a mechanic, but anyway, you get what I'm saying.

And the idea is that, you know, we don't really do that to our bodies.

We don't have a dashboard for understanding what's happening.

Well, this is what we need to do.

We need to have a dashboard.
