In this episode, Adam Woolard joins us to unpack why traditional testing often misses the bigger picture—and how smarter, functional health testing can help you optimize your health, energy, and performance, especially for men (but women as well!).
Adam is the VP of Business Development and a Health Coach for Joi+Blokes, a functional telemedicine company that caters to all 50 states, and offers personalized care with access to a dedicated coach for one-on-one guidance. His passion is helping people reconnect with how good their bodies are meant to feel through smarter, more targeted health strategies.
Some of what you'll learn:
- Why “normal” bloodwork often isn’t optimal
- How functional health testing goes deeper than conventional labs
- The importance of looking at blood markers as interconnected vs. isolated
- Why men especially need proactive health support and how proper guidance is often undervalued
- Common blood marker imbalances Adam sees when consulting with clients,
- Peptide/hormone therapy and the importance of professional guidance
- How mental and emotional health play a crucial role into overall well-being
- How community and faith have played a pivotal roll in his journey to optimal health
