Dai asks Spencer about the top three tests someone should consider getting. As Spencer is a genius in optimizing the human body, it was very hard for him to round it down to three. However, the top three listed in this show are probably the most important to help you detect inflammation and other bad things lurking in your body. Also, Spencer discusses some of the benefits of taking a DNA test, and why it’s good to know what cards you’ve been dealt, when it comes to your genetics.

Key Takeaways:

[1:40] Spencer just came back from the islands of Hawaii! He shares some of his favorite slang words.

[3:15] Dai has cologne where you can smell like a Canadian.

[4:05] Dai has been working with Spencer on optimizing his health.

[5:05] What three tests does Spencer recommend everybody get, as we head into the new year?

[6:25] If you do feel resistance from your family doctor, then maybe it’s best to approach a naturopathic doctor for these tests.

[8:15] Test number one: Get a C-Reactive Protein test done.

[10:00] Test number two: A Homocysteine test.

[12:35] Test number three: Your ferritin levels.

[13:30] Spencer had a hard time picking the top three tests. You need like 20!

[14:05] It’s important for women to check their ferritin levels. They are typically too low in iron.

[14:40] When men have too much iron in their body, we rust!

[17:10] Supplementation should be used to augment, not to replace.

[19:05] What is the benefit of getting a DNA test?

[20:55] Spencer always asks for a DNA test whenever a new client begins work with him.

[23:10] You just don’t know what you don’t know. So take a leap and try out these tests.
