I watched your video with Dana White where he talked about doing all of that with the doctors and it not working, including being on blood pressure meds and a C-PAP. I am currently in the same shape; if I cough too hard, I get dizzy, with pressure in my head from inflamed sinuses and back issues. I have asked my PCP for a genetic methylation test, but no one will order one for me. They tell me they don't do those tests and that I have to go to a health or fitness clinic. If it's related to health, why won't they prescribe that test for their patients? It's not a lot of money for some, but $600 is a lot for me right now. How do I know this isn't another TV scam?
What additional insights or recommendations do you have for someone in my situation?
