Speaking of Women's Health Podcast host Holly Thacker, MD sat down with Cleveland Clinic internist and executive health physician Richard Cartabuke, MD to map out how a single, coordinated visit can compress a month of care—advanced labs, imaging and expert consults—into a focused plan you can actually use. From there, they go deeper: why direct genetic testing beats ancestry kits for medical decisions, how proteomics and multiomics translate your biology into priorities and where whole genome sequencing is headed as targeted therapies arrive.

Data is only useful if it drives daily choices, in the interview learn how to turn complex readouts into simple steps: strength training, protein-forward meals, sleep regularity, blood pressure control and stress habits that lower cortisol. On the therapeutic front, they explore GLP‑1 and GIP agonists beyond weight loss—microdosing schedules, inflammation reduction and organ benefits—plus practical ways to access legitimate medication through manufacturer programs and avoid risky compounding. 

They wrap up the interview with a clear takeaway: start earlier than you think, build a baseline you can track and use precision tools to focus effort where it matters most.
