A brief transcript excerpt from a YouTube video about starting a supplementation journey. Speakers recommend beginning with genetic testing interpreted by a professional and adding regular biomarker (blood) testing to track genetic expression and actionable needs; emphasize starting small with daily, routinized steps.

For someone that's just starting on their supplementation journey, what would be your recommendation? Most people should start with a genetic test and the key element is making sure someone can interpret that results and provide it in a language where they can go, hey, definable, easy, actionable steps that you do on a daily ritualistic basis. So start with something small that you can do regularly and then don't worry about all the bad things that you're doing. Just keep adding good stuff and eventually the bad things will fall away.
I think genetic tests are awesome and I think you also want to be adding biomarker tests because you need blood tests. There's your genetics, then there's your genetic expression and the environment, what you've been doing. Unless you're looking at your blood work, you're guessing. So regular blood work is crucial. I just did mine and there was some interesting stuff that I'd never seen before that if I hadn't tested I might not have identified.
