280. Bloodwork: Health Journey in Progress

In this episode of Rest, Eat, Move, hosts Matt and Chris dive into the importance of taking control of personal health before problems arise. Matt shares his own journey of partnering with a functional medicine group to track over 150 biomarkers, undergo a DEXA scan, and set personal health goals. The conversation stresses curiosity—asking better questions of healthcare providers—and uncovering personal beliefs that may hold people back from optimal health. Matt outlines his top goals: creating more personal space and balance, improving fitness and function, reaching a healthier body weight, and setting specific measurable targets like running a faster mile. Alongside the numbers, they emphasize that true progress comes from self-awareness, intentional habits, and aligning health goals with the realities of life’s seasons.
