In this episode of the Ask Why podcast, Lora Hooper, RDH, Dr. Gina Pritchard, and Dr. Witt Wilkerson discuss the importance of practitioners testing not only their patients but themselves.
Witt Wilkerson describes his own experience with having chronically high cholesterol, and how implementing an anti-inflammatory lifestyle helped keep him healthy. The team discusses the different changes that everyone has experienced since the COVID pandemic started, including a more stagnant lifestyle and poorer mental health, which have potentially had negative effects on their overall health.
The team details the tests that they recommend asking for as a patient. They talk about the importance of breathing through the nose in order to make enough nitric oxide for your body, and how one should breathe through their nose all night.
“With the inflammatory panel, we’re trying to determine if the body’s immune system is doing its job correctly and if we’re helping it.” —Dr. Gina Pritchard
