How do we help patients improve health span without letting wearables, biomarkers, and wellness trends take over the conversation? Learn how to think about CGMs in patients without diabetes, how to interpret early cardiometabolic risk beyond the A1c, how to prescribe exercise in a practical way, and how to counsel patients about sleep, wearables, and even peptides. We’re joined by Dr. Sandeep Palakadedi (Dr. “Deep”), founder and CEO of Velocity Health and author of The Ultimate Asset.
