Do you find yourself buying numerous supplements but not feeling like you are getting the maximum benefit? Have you or someone you know been to the doctor, had tests done, and yet you are still not feeling optimal? Would you like to take your health into your own hands and find tools to help feel better and stay healthy? Today’s guests, health expert Laura Kunces, and professional cyclist,  Cory Greenberg, offer answers to these questions and share their own personal stories. They discuss ways to be your own “health detective” and become empowered by taking self-tests which can determine the best supplements and nutrition for your individual needs. Many people wear devices to track their steps or monitor their sleep, but in addition, these accurate, at-home tests, which are as simple as small pinprick of blood or a sample of saliva, can further help you determine which dietary and nutritional supplements may work best for your individual body.   Laura Kunces is the Vice President of Medical Strategies at Thorne HealthTech, a health and technology company leading the industry of dietary supplements and personalized health.
