what were the 3 supplements Dr Busch recommended (and I think you said he has you on?) I was listening at the gym and couldn’t write down the names or probably spell them correctly 🙂 Thanks – great episode.
I think you mean the three recommended tests, which you can find in the show notes! Thanks and glad you enjoyed it!
