Are you up to date on the doctor appointments that could save your life? In this episode, I dive into the essential screenings you can’t afford to skip, from mammograms and colonoscopies to functional lab tests that reveal much more than standard checkups. We’ll break down how conventional medicine is great for emergency care and early detection, but it often misses the root causes of illness.

My wife and I are joining Functional Health to get all these tests. She hasn’t felt good in years so I’m praying this will give us some answers.
My spouse and I joined Function Health and are so pleased. It's well worth the money!
I agree.@Detmold1965 I am a complex chronic pain morbily obese patient who hasn't been able to lose weight no matter what I try.
I had to get DNA sequencing to start getting answers. Due to all my cancer genes I will be pairing the add-on cancer check to my 6 month re-draw for peace of mind.
I did the function health labs, got SO MANY answers! It's absolutely worth it!
@@Eyeswideopen45 … That’s awesome to hear. How long did the whole process take to get your interpretation back ? Then you test again in 6 months correct ?
@@-What-are-your-thoughts It took about 3 weeks to get results and the clinician write up. Yes , you retest 6 months later.
Funny how 99% of our food is processed. Anything the FDA says to eat I just do the opposite. I recommend reading “Health and Beauty Mastery” by Julian Bannet, that book is a real eye opener about shocking stuff health industry is doing! I completely changed my habits
Exactly!
Yes, unfortunately it's all about profit, nothing more, nothing less
Thanks for the recommendation. Do you know if it's only available in e-book format?

You are so right. A lot of times insurances won't cover screenings that you request to be proactive. They will only cover the testing if a doctor codes the testing for an existing condition. We have a reactive and not proactive health care system and sadly most people aren't in financial positions where they can afford to pay for expensive tests out of pocket. I know I'm not able to do that.
You and Dr. Brewer are my favorite doctors on UA-cam.
I appreciate you very much.
You are doing a great job.
May God bless you richly, you and your family.
Greetings from Toronto Canada.
Important information here. Let’s pay attention.
@Dr. Mark Hyman , I agree with and appreciate you. Your teaching is helping me to recover. God bless you. My Dad was k'lled by an employee at the Clarksburg, WV VA hospital. Recently my Mom was literally murdered by an MD. I am healing from serious health problems that occured from severe stress, malnutrition, lack of sleep. My home will be sold at the end of the month for property taxes and I don't want to be homeless as I am going back to work. Please pray for me. Thank you. 🥺
I will pray for and remember , you are the happiness you seek 🙏
🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️
@@carmenchavez3395 I appreciate your prayers. The Lord is my only hope.
I lucked in to having an amazing DO who is super holistic... which is vital since I have CRPS which screws up lots of things. He is super supportive of testing, diet, etc. He knows that I am anti-drug if possible.
I have found DOs much more helpful than MDs.
Dr Mark, love you sir and thank you so much for all your advocating ❤️🫵
Wow, what a lucky daughter...going into medicine with Dr. Mark Hyman for a dad.
I'm a complex chronic pain patient getting the run around from all my doctors in managed medicare for over 2 years with none of then willing to even begin to begin the differential for EDS, so I self-paid DNA sequencing to get some answers. Now I can't get them to pay attention to the results. 😢. I joined function health and am very happy with it. I plan on getting the cancer check for my peace of mind, because in addition to the numerous pathogenic cancer genes I have, I also am pathogenic for a Familial Cancer Syndrome. I am glad to be able to take my health into my own hands.
Joined Function Health and got my results a few weeks back. Definitely helped me get insight into my health that I would never have gotten with traditional medicine. Now that I have the data, I have researched what it will take to improve (diet and supplements) and look forward to future tests to hopefully see improvement. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure!
I was going to go to the seminar for $150 but I may just put it to joining for the tests. You're happy so far???
@@mamatwirl Yes, was able to test for alzheimer gene, high Lipoprotein (a) "heart attack" gene, and found out that I was low on B vitamins (homocysteine score) despite occasional supplement and good diet. Annual test is two lab visits about a week apart with 10 vials of blood each time, plus one urine test. Midyear should be less since its fewer tests.
Such great information on this channel!
My doctor said I don’t need to check my insulin 😢 because it’s useless. I’m like wow.. I’ll be going to another doctor
What are your thoughts about thermogram instead of mammogram?
Food as medicine is so underrated
Where do I get a blood draw. Are you going to help understand the results?
I wish I could find doctors that don’t skip their continued education learning or at least attend your seminars. It’s impossible to find a doctor that knows how to read a heart panel. I’m teaching mine how to read one using the clinician notes from function health.
Which is the right diet for a type2 diabetes patient? You say that your diet can address all the chronic diseases, but there are also physicians online that recommend a low fat plant based diet for the disease. What do you think? Have you put many patients in remission with your diet?
I was going to go to the conference in San Fran but can't afford both so maybe I'll just join Functional Health instead. So tired of doctors telling me I'm ok because I look fit, but I don't like some of my numbers...
Canadians? Or know where we can paynfor these tests thanks❤🇨🇦🍁
Do you know a doctor here in Toronto who would do these tests?
How can men reverse enlarged prostates
They want to do colonoscopies, with patients using Miralax for the prep.
What do you think of the miralax use in these procedures.
After research, it says it kills some of the microbiome bugs, to the point it can not be regenerated.
What do you think about this topic,?
Great question! Hope he answers it !
@@MzladyGrinn I would never use miralax. You can double check, but if I remember correctly the main ingredient was some kind of polymer. There's new information out about the hazards of microplastics in bottled water and polyester clothes. I don't want to drink a bottle full of microplastics. I would use magnesium citrate instead and go for a brand that contains no aspartame. Kroger's carries it where laxatives are sold near the pharmacy.

For my recent apt, I prepped with the “old school” method.
It is a 3 day process with ducolax and enemas.
The Dr wanted to refuse me, but
I told her I’d be back if I wasn’t clean enough.
She came back, saying I wasn’t clean enough.
I insisted on an explanation of the procedure
So I could understand what was happening.
She said they needed to go up, across, and down, to complete the test,
I became wide eyed, and proclaimed my old school process only must work for the lower colon.
She agreed with that statement.
I followed up with, that’s where the microbiome lives,
And it could well destroy my microbiome,
Leaving my immune system very vulnerable/compromised.
And I was not about to do that, NO thank you.
She flipped on her heel, wide eyed, realizing I understood the issues at hand,
Scurried out, and didn’t come back.
That’s when I figured I was correct, it’s an option they use to weaken the immune system.
Came home and asked google if miralax is detrimental to the microbiome.
And yes, it kills off some good bugs, that can never be regenerated again.
I’m curious what Dr Hyman thinks on this topic.
I know this is a long post,
But you never see this topic come up either…😮
@@preacherman9018
I explained my experience,
And I got deleted.
yt sucks!
They keep censoring me!!!
Ugh 🥲🤣🤣🤣🤣
Is the galleri test always improving and updating? I took one 12 months ago.
What kind of surgery did you have for Stenosis? Ultrasonic is?
What age should you start testing? My daughter is 17 will be 18 in April but looks like she’s in her 20’s. I don’t want to wait to do bloodwork when we have a fire to put out.
Need to get some tests - can't find a good doctor
You can go to function health.. Dr Mark hymans site and pay $500 for the labwork he mentio s here.. you'll get your blood drawn at 2 separate appt's and after all results you'll get a "game plan" fro his team.. I did it and my HSA paid for it! Def worth it!
Can we get these tests in the UK?
No, it's only US.
I know that for some labs you need to fast for 12 hours like for lipids, but is there anything else that could give a false outcome? If females are checking their hormones is there an optimal time during their cycle to have this done to be most accurate ? Does exercising before labs effect numbers in a negative way ?
Get out your pen and paper, there’s important tests to make sure to get in this video.
I signed up for Function Health and got the tests. That is all it is. There is no real analysis or advice once you get the tests. Basically, they say, eat more fish, don't eat sugar and all the other stuff that you already know. And anything that is on the margins they say go see your doctor. You need to decide if these tests are worth the money, which I suppose they are a decent value. But I will not be renewing or doing it again. I just didn't feel I got anything out of it. I like Dr. Hyman but you would probably be better off actually seeing a functional health physician.
Good morning.
Unfortunately there is not a funcional doctor around me.
At least a " real one." I tried already a funcional hormone MD since I entered menopause S/S.
PURE SCAM!!
My 3rd visit was just a back and forth...and a lot of $ + trying to sell me a lot of supplements.
