My MVX Plus Blood Test Results | Dr. Darren Schmidt

Send us Fan Mail We talked about the test. Now we’re looking at my results. Dr. Darren Schmidt returns to Hanging Out with David Pasqualone & Friends for an on-camera review of David’s MVX Plus blood test results. After their first Remarkable People Podcast conversation, David had his blood drawn and came back with questions. They discuss the overall MVX score, inflammation-related markers, citrate and amino acids, and how David’s eating habits, symptoms, and fasting history enter the conversation. David also speaks candidly about sugar, sodium, dental concerns, and the questions he wants answered. This is a personal follow-up conversation—not evidence that a particular supplement or protocol will produce the same result for someone else. IN THIS EPISODE • David’s reported overall MVX score of 45. • The discussion of GlycA, small HDL particles, and the IVX/MMX components. • Why fasting history and the rest of the clinical picture matter. • David’s honest questions about diet, digestion, and ongoing symptoms. • Darren’s perspective on nutrition and follow-up care.
