Dr. Darshan Shah & Dr. Gundry EXPOSE the biomarkers your doctor misses for insulin resistance and early disease detection. Learn why standard annual check-ups fail, leaving 90% of Americans with silent metabolic disease for years. If your doctor only runs an A1C, they are missing up to 15 years of warning signs! Discover the essential test—fasting serum insulin—one of the first markers to change, yet one that even new family practice residents are never taught to order.

The current medical system is not built to prevent or reverse chronic disease. Dr. Shah explains how Next Health uses quarterly blood testing to empower you to become the "CEO of your own health". This approach allows you to consistently monitor key performance indicators (KPIs) like HOMA-IR, APOB, and inflammatory markers, enabling timely fine-tuning of your lifestyle, diet, and sleep routines.
They discuss the essential framework for fixing metabolic issues, starting with lifestyle (nutrition, exercise, sleep), moving to functional medicine (hormones, gut health, toxins), and finally considering advanced longevity therapeutics as the "cherry on top." Stop waiting until you hit "disease bankruptcy" and start monitoring the right numbers today!
