| 0:00.0 | What's going on? Welcome back to the Jordan Siat mini podcast. Before we get into today's episode, |
| 0:04.8 | I want to talk to you about Merrick Health, which, yes, I'm sponsored by them, but I've been getting |
| 0:09.2 | many questions because I recently posted my blood work since I started working with Merrick |
| 0:14.0 | on my stories, and people were blown away. I was blown away by the improvements in my blood work, |
| 0:19.8 | especially my cholesterol. |
| 0:22.5 | My family genetically has high cholesterol. We also have high blood pressure throughout everyone |
| 0:26.5 | of my family. And I'm not on statins. I'm not on any drugs to get my cholesterol down. |
| 0:32.3 | But people were blown away to see the improvements in my cholesterol through working with |
| 0:36.6 | Merrick for about four months or so. And quite frankly, I couldn't believe it either because for years, every time I go to the doctor, even though I'm healthy, I work out, I eat well, I have a mostly Mediterranean diet. My cholesterol has been high for many, many years. And every time I ask the doctor, they sort of just brush it off and they've just been like, well, this is just, this is your body, this is genetic. Eventually, we're going to have to get you on statins. I don't have anything against statins inherently. I don't have anything against medications. I'm on blood pressure medication, although I have been reducing the dose, especially, by the way, since I've been working with Merrick, my blood pressure has been improving dramatically. |
| 1:15.0 | But I didn't like how I was getting brushed off by my doctors. |
| 1:16.8 | That, to me, it didn't sit well. |
| 1:22.4 | And if you have a great doctor and they don't brush you off, that is a blessing and stick with them because that's an amazing doctor. |
| 1:28.6 | But since working with Merrick, my blood pressure, my cholesterol, my APOB, my triglycerides have improved in a way that they never have before. And nothing has changed with exercise. And so if you |
| 1:35.2 | are looking for ways to improve your health, whether it's your blood pressure, whether it's |
| 1:39.0 | your cholesterol, whether it's your metabolic health, cognitive health, I cannot recommend Merrick enough. And one of the questions I've been getting is, well, what do they do for you? Do they just check your lab work, your blood work? That is one thing they do. But they don't just take it and look at it. They get a very comprehensive blood panel. And then they tell you, this is what we think you should do. This is what we recommend for you. So if you |
| 2:02.7 | want to try Ameri-Health, I highly, highly recommend it. And by the way, again, I'm sponsored by them. |
| 2:08.3 | If they dropped me from their sponsorship, I would still work with them. It's been an unbelievable |
| 2:13.0 | experience. I've been blown away. If you go to Merichhealth.com backslash sciate, you can get 10% off your |
| 2:20.0 | first order using code Siat, S-Y-A-T-T. You can get a checkup panel. I recommend the optimization |
| 2:25.5 | package. You get 84 biomarkers tested, 27 tests, and you get a 45-minute lab review included. |
| 2:32.8 | I can't recommend it enough. My wife is going to start doing it. I recommend it to all my friends. This is something that I firmly stand behind, and even if they dropped me as their sponsor, I would still use their service. So if you're looking to improve your health, highly recommend Ameriq.

| 2:57.4 | And, oh, no, what's up, my friend? How are you today? |
