Summary

Paul shares the results from his August Bloodwork panel from Marek Health. He does a deep dive into Testosterone, Immunoglobulin, Boron, Genistein, Isoflavonoids and touches on TMAO, Uric acid, and GGT.

A note from Paul:

Throughout my training and practice as a physician I have come to one very disappointing conclusion: Western medicine isn’t helping people lead better lives. Now that I’ve realized this, I’ve become obsessed with understanding what makes us healthy or ill. I want to live the best life I can and I want to be able to share this knowledge with others so that they can do the same. This podcast is the result of my relentless search to understand the roots of chronic disease. If you want to know how to live the most radical life possible I hope you’ll join me on this journey.

0:00.0	doing a comprehensive set of blood work really gives you an idea of what's going on in the
0:03.5	hood. Obviously in this situation, it's sort of me opening the kimono as you will. I believe
0:08.0	Tim Ferriss has said that and showing you the proof in the pudding that there's no inflammation.
0:12.8	My kidneys work fine. That my uric acid is normal. That my testosterone is high. That I'm not taking
0:17.7	supplements to raise my testosterone. That I'm not doing any funny business behind the scenes to look
0:23.2	like a healthy 45 year old, which is what I look and feel like at this point in my life. So
0:28.8	it's fun to pop the hood on my metaphorical car and look in there and see what's going on. If
0:34.3	you guys want to see other blood work put in the YouTube comments, send me a message on Instagram
0:38.7	or DM or whatever. And I'm happy to get more blood work and keep looking at the stuff. I think
0:42.6	probably in the next few months or so, it's interesting to get another CAC, a coronary artery
0:47.8	calcium scan or a CT coronary angio might be interesting as well. Looking at that to sort of
0:53.9	substantiate the claim that I make that there's no atherosclerosis going on. As I've said in the
0:58.4	past, I did one in 2020. The score was zero. I talked about that one in the past many times.
1:03.6	No more allergy medicine. Check out this review on histamine and immune from heart and soil
1:08.8	supplements from Angela D. She says, awesome. I've been taking allergy medicine almost every day
1:13.6	for the last few years. I don't like taking medicine. I knew I wanted to stop. Every time I tried
1:18.0	to stop my symptoms, we get worse. I ordered histamine and immune from heart and soil. It's been two
1:22.7	weeks. I haven't taken any allergy medicine. My eyes aren't itchy and tearing. My head is no longer
1:28.6	congested. It's amazing. I had seasonal allergies for the last six years. The pollen report from
1:33.8	my area is high and I'm perfectly healthy. Thank you so much. I'd also like to say I've been eating
1:38.9	animal-based since May and I've lost 10 pounds. And all of my digestion issues are gone. I had
1:44.2	extreme pain in my wrist and knee from inflammation. It's completely gone. I feel fantastic. Thank you so
	...
