The Art of Being WellShow Notes
Dr. Robin Berzin, founder and CEO of Parsley Health, joins Dr. Will Cole live at Eudemonia for a wide-ranging conversation between two of functional medicine's most prominent voices. They cover the state of functional medicine and where the longevity trend gets it right - and wrong - the lab tests Parsley has used for a decade across 50,000 patients, why DEXA scans should start at 35 (not 65), the HRT revolution following the FDA's removal of the black box warning, what to do about elevated Lp(a), and how to use AI for your health without being led astray. Plus live audience Q&A on osteopenia, intermittent fasting, and the MAHA movement. For all links mentioned in this episode, visit www.drwillcole.com/podcast.
