Description
Your hormones, your sleep, your stress, your diet — they may all be affecting your health at a much deeper level than you realize. Dr. Josh Axe sits down with functional medicine expert Dr. Will Cole and fitness and biohacking educator Dylan Gemelli for a no-holds-barred roundtable on what may actually be driving chronic disease, accelerated aging, hormonal dysfunction, and poor metabolic health — and why healing may need to start at the cellular level.
In this episode, we learn why Dr. Axe and Dr. Cole believe cellular health could change how we approach chronic disease — and how to identify which systems in your body may be aging faster than others
Uncover what’s really going on in your body with advanced biomarker testing for hormones, thyroid, and metabolism — plus a 1-hour consultation with a Senior Health Advisor! → http://mybloodwork.com
Disclaimer: The bloodwork our team runs at mybloodwork.com covers a handful of the biomarkers listed in the guide above — including critical thyroid and metabolic markers — plus a 1-hour consultation with a Senior Health Advisor, but does NOT cover all 25. You will want to consult your primary or functional doctor for the entire list.
