Today, I'm joined by the incomparable Dr. Ted Achacoso—a true pioneer in shifting healthcare from "what's wrong with you" to "what's right with you." Trained across neurology, pharmacology, AI, and nutritional medicine, Dr. Achacoso brings a sharp mix of science, humor, and unfiltered honesty to our conversation. We get real about what it takes to optimize health at the cellular level, why metabolomics is the future doctors can't ignore, and how something as simple as a toxicity panel can completely change your health trajectory.
