Health vs Disease Markers: What Doctors Miss | HOMe Podcast #003

Health vs Disease Markers: What Doctors Miss | HOMe Podcast #003

Author: Health Optimization Medicine and Practice March 25, 2026 Duration: 24:01

In this episode of the Health Optimization Medicine Podcast, join Boomer Anderson, Jodi Duval, Dr. Allen Bookatz, and Dr. Ted Achacoso as they explore the future of clinical intelligence — and why medicine must move beyond single biomarkers to understanding networks within the body.

Rather than chasing isolated lab values like glucose, cholesterol, or testosterone, the conversation shifts toward a systems-based approach — where every biomarker is part of a dynamic network of relationships.

From metabolomics to hormone balance, this episode explains why optimizing health requires understanding how different systems interact, adapt, and influence each other in real time.

Join us as we delve into:

  • Why single biomarkers are only "nodes" in a larger biological network
  • The concept of nodes and edges in human physiology
  • How glucose, thyroid, and metabolic systems are interconnected
  • Why cholesterol, inflammation, and B vitamins must be viewed together
  • The risks of optimizing one biomarker (like testosterone) in isolation

This episode is for you if:

  • You've been told to "fix" a single lab value but still feel off
  • You want to understand your lab results in a deeper, systems-based way
  • You're a practitioner looking to move beyond reductionist medicine
  • You're interested in metabolomics and the future of health optimization
