💬 "If I could have just gotten to you a little bit early, I probably wouldn't be giving you this cancer diagnosis… You probably wouldn't have a stroke that has now affected the whole left side of your body… That heart attack, you would have survived, and I wouldn't have to tell your family you didn't survive. We know that there was a window that could have prevented all of this. And that's what hurts us more than anything else."

⚡ In this episode, I break down what happens to your body if you skip the doctor for 10 years—from the silent dangers that creep up early, to the way diseases take hold without you knowing, and the urgent crises that hit you hard by the end. Because remember this, y'all—feeling 'fine' doesn't mean everything's fine. A lot can happen in ten years.

🎧 Stay tuned to find out:

• ➡ How silent issues like rising blood pressure and blood sugar start in the first couple of years
• ➡ Why diseases like high cholesterol and kidney problems worsen between years three and five
• ➡ The compensation mode your body enters in years six to eight, leading to organ fatigue
• ➡ What major health events like strokes, heart attacks, and cancer diagnoses look like in years nine and ten
• ➡ Why early and regular checkups could have saved you from all this trouble

💬 "Having normal labs doesn't necessarily mean you're healthy. It just means at that point in time, whatever we were looking for, we maybe didn't find."

⚡ In this episode, I explain why those "normal" lab results might be giving you a false sense of security, and how leaning on them alone could let serious issues slip by. Trust me, it's a common trap in medicine that can have real consequences for your long-term health. Because yes—maybe your labs are fine, but that doesn't mean you're out of the woods yet.

🎧 Stay tuned to find out:

• ➡ Why you shouldn't be complacent and dismiss your symptoms just because the numbers on your labs look "normal" and "fine"
• ➡ How a time gap in testing can miss brewing problems, making "normal" feel like a ticking clock
• ➡ The dangers of assuming "normal" means the same for everyone, especially when race or trends aren't considered
• ➡ Why the doctor-patient relationship is one of the most important relationships you need to have
• ➡ How complacency with good labs can hide underlying risks like family history or lifestyle factors
• ➡ Why trusting your body and pushing for more detective work is key when doctors hit a wall
