Power Quote From Dr. Gil Blander

"Today if you look around everyone is taking selfies to show off how they look, but actually only a select few of us are looking inside, trying to understand what is happening inside our most important machine. What we are doing with InsideTracker is allowing you to see what's happening inside your body, and after that we're giving you an actionable recommendation to improve your health, wellness, and performance. This is very similar to what is happening with your car when you plug in a computer. The system tells the ignition exactly what are the issues that the car suffers from today, right now. I see InsideTracker and biomarker testing with recommendations very similar to what's happening with a car. We are checking the machine, finding out what are the issues, and then we intervene. Hopefully, with the right guidance, we improve the quality and longevity of our lives."  - Dr. Gil Blander
