Mark Hyman: True story: Erin
Peer-Reviewed Research
Key Takeaways
- Prioritize comprehensive testing – Erin discovered her high lipoprotein A (a cardiovascular risk factor) through functional medicine testing that conventional doctors missed.
- Address root causes – Don’t accept “it’s just stress/aging” explanations for chronic symptoms. Erin found answers through functional medicine after conventional approaches failed.
- Put your health first – As a caregiver, make your wellbeing non-negotiable (“we can’t be good moms if we don’t take care of ourselves first”).
- Be wary of supplement overload – Erin initially bought every supplement she saw online before finding proper guidance.
Notable Quotes
“As a mom, we just deprioritize your health a little bit, because they’re number one. But in reality, we need to be the number one, because we can’t be a good mom if we don’t take care of ourselves first.”
Bottom Line
Get proper functional testing if conventional medicine fails you, and prioritize your health as the foundation for caring for others.
