Whatever shows up in your bloodwork has usually been building for a long time. The problem with modern medicine is that it steps in at the end of that process, not the beginning.

Dr. John Douillard keeps coming back to one single question. Why do we wait so long? Forty years as a chiropractor and Ayurvedic practitioner have convinced him that the body starts dropping hints well before anything shows up on a test, and that most of us have been taught to wave those hints away until there's a real problem to deal with.

We dig into where the trouble usually starts, why so much of it traces back to your gut, and what a system that's been around for 5,000 years figured out about the body that our lab work still tends to miss.

"Change the environment, change the host, let the body fight its own battles." ~ Dr. John Douillard
