Welcome to Day 5 of Dr. Mark Hyman's Commune course on Hacking Your Healthcare. In this program, Dr. Hyman explains how you can use your own doctor (no matter where you are in the world) to harness the power of Functional Medicine and tackle the root causes of chronic disease.

In Day 5 -- Heart Disease -- Dr. Hyman reviews the difference between HDL and LDL cholesterol, triglycerides and insulin sensitivity, cardiac inflammation, known as hsCRP, homocysteine, associated with general inflammation, blood clot risk, and genetic cardiovascular risk.

We are releasing Days 1 through 5 of Dr. Hyman's Commune program here on the podcast. You can watch the full 10-day video course with a free trial of Commune Membership. Visit onecommune.com/health to get started.
