Topic: Biomarkers

Hillary Clinton's comparison of Trump's Madison Square Garden rally to a 1939 Nazi event is criticized as a polarizing tactic. Brigham Bueller contrasts this with the goal of "optimal health," explaining that Ways2Well reviews over 70 biomarkers to help patients reach their peak biological potential. He argues that traditional medicine only aims for "normal" levels based on a sick population, whereas independent clinics focus on longevity and performance.

Ways to Well utilizes advanced diagnostic tools such as DEXA scans, VO2 Max testing, and pharmacogenetic screenings to assess patient health at the biological level. These tests allow clinicians to identify risks for heart attack and stroke decades before symptoms manifest. Pharmacogenetic testing specifically identifies how a patient's genome metabolizes drugs, revealing that a significant percentage of the population cannot effectively absorb certain medications like opioids.

Ways to Well focuses on "optimal" health rather than the "normal" ranges defined by a chronically ill American population. By assessing 70+ biomarkers outside of the insurance framework, the company provides 45-minute consultations to empower patients to manage their own longevity. This model allows for deep dives into genetics and biology that are typically denied by insurance companies, which only cover care once a patient is already sick.

Dr. McCullough rebuts the "commotio cordis" theory, explaining that modern NFL sternal plates make such an injury virtually impossible. He anticipates that Hamlin will undergo a cardiac MRI with late gadolinium contrast to check for inflammation or scarring. The discussion posits that a surge of adrenaline during the tackle may have triggered a reentrant arrhythmia in a compromised heart.
