Coming up on this episode of the doctor's pharmacy.

The science of brain health and the science around dementia and Alzheimer's has just exploded.

And it's taking a very different tack.

Hey everyone, it's Dr. Mark.

I know a lot of you out there are practitioners like me helping patients heal using real food and functional medicine as your framework for getting to the root cause.

What's critical to understanding what each individual person and body needs is testing, which is why I'm excited to tell you about Rupa Health.

Looking at hormones, organic acids, nutrient levels, inflammatory factors, gut bacteria, and so many other internal variables can help us find the most effective path to optimize health and reverse disease.

But up till now, that menu are usually ordering tests for one patient from multiple labs.

And I'm sure many of you can relate how time consuming this process was, and then it could all feel like a lot of work to keep track of.

Now there's Rupa Health, a place for functional medicine practitioners to access more than 2000s, especially labs from over 20 labs like Dutch, Fiber, and America, Genoa, Great Plains, and more.

Rupa Health helped provide a significantly better patient experience and it's 90% faster.

Letting you simplify the entire process of getting the functional medicine lab tests you need and giving you more time to focus on patients.

This is really a much needed option to functional medicine space and I'm so excited about it. It means better service for you and your patients.

Now I'm all about using health tools that have stood the test of time as part of different medical traditions. So I was really excited to learn about PaleoValys, Apple, Cider, Vinegar, or Complex.

Apple Cider Vinegar has actually been around for millennia, used both for cooking and wellness.

I mean, Hippocrates was even known to prescribe it for different ailments.

So it's easy to see why it's stuck with us for so long and we found benefits using it for things like blood sugar regulation, supporting a healthy weight and improved digestion.

It might sound surprising that many of us lack sufficient stomach acid, which is pretty key for extracting nutrients from food.

Apple Cider Vinegar counteracts that problem and supports the right environment on our stomachs for optimal nutrient absorption.

Considering that more than 90% of us are nutrient deficient, it's a good thing to think about.

But drinking vinegar doesn't appeal to most people when I get it and it can actually even damage the enamel of our teeth.
