oh, I did a full blood panel and everything came back normal? Well, that means either you're crazy,

likely because they're looking in the wrong place for answers. Now, Dr. Mark Hyman would bet that they're missing something, likely because they're looking in the wrong

place for answers. Dr. Mark Hyman is a practicing functional medicine doctor, author, the founder

and director of the Ultra Wellness Center, and the director of the Cleveland Clinic Center

for Functional Medicine. His commune course, hacking your health care, helps you work more closely with your

doctor to get the care you need. A doctor should be willing to work with you in the way you want,

listen and hear you. Your doctor should always be trying to get to the root cause of what's up with

you, which is the foundational principle of functional medicine. For today's episode, we're going to

treat you to a sample of Dr. Hyman's commune course hacking your health care, where he digs into the

nitty gritty of test results, specifically your vital signs like heart rate, blood pressure,

vitamin D, body temperature, weight, and more. Understanding how your body works is really important to optimize your health.

And his course aims to give you the confidence you need.

So the next time you're at the doctor's office,

you can ask the right questions and have a meaningful conversation with your doctor.

Thank you. questions and have a meaningful conversation with your doctor.
