Genetics, Blood Work & Functional Testing to Optimize Health | Dr. Dean St Mart

Dr. Dean St. Mart is the supplement formulator behind UK brand Supplement Needs and the man whose name is attached to one of the most talked about mitochondrial peptide stacks online. Trained in both pharmacology and drug design and naturopathic functional medicine, he has coached athletes one to one for years, competed in bodybuilding through age 36, and now trains as a kickboxer and karateka. His work centers on finding the root cause behind symptoms conventional blood work misses, from mold toxicity to thyroid dysfunction hiding behind low testosterone.

He explains:
◼ Why optimizing your mitochondria can backfire if you skip one free test
◼ How a mold exposure from years ago can still be circulating through your body today
◼ Why cleaning mold with bleach can make the problem worse
◼ What one overlooked blood marker reveals about how well you detox
◼ Why “healthy” oats could be driving gut problems for certain people
◼ How an undiagnosed thyroid issue gets mistaken for low testosterone
◼ Why most people regain the weight after coming off GLP-1s
◼ Why trusting AI with your blood work can send you in the wrong direction
