Ep. 75 - Glyphosate, Bloodwork and True Health Advocacy

What if some of the most important health markers are being overlooked until it's too late?Dan and Janie unpack the latest developments surrounding glyphosate, including a recent Supreme Court decision involving Bayer and Monsanto, why the ruling matters, and what it could mean for consumers who are trying to make informed choices about the food they eat. They discuss food labeling, supporting local farms, reading ingredient lists more carefully, and why awareness is the first step toward making healthier decisions.The conversation then shifts into a practical deep dive on bloodwork, with Janie explaining why markers like ferritin, fasting insulin, red blood cell magnesium, and a comprehensive thyroid panel can provide valuable insight long before conventional lab work detects disease. She breaks down iron metabolism, why animal-based nutrients play an important role in the body's ability to utilize iron, and how lifestyle factors—including stress, nutrition, sleep, and exercise—can influence long-term health.They also discuss the growing trend of patients advocating for more comprehensive testing, how to approach conversations with healthcare providers, and why prevention should focus on identifying problems early instead of waiting until medication becomes the only option. The episode closes with encouragement to master the basics, make consistent lifestyle improvements, and take ownership of your health one decision at a time.Contact Daniel and Janie:Email: [email protected]: achievethelifestyle.comInstagram: @achievethelifestyle
