Number one, [music] you're exhausted all the time. You're exhausted when you wake up in the morning. You're exhausted when you go to bed at night. And you know, despite your well-meaning primary care physician in your area, that it's not a rolin deficiency, and you're knowledgeable to
know it's not from a lack of dietary impetamines, too. So, you want to get the vitamin panel for that reason. Number two, you're a mom and you have crazy, horrifying hair loss. It all started after that third baby was born. and has never recovered. Number three, your husband has low testosterone. And
at least you hope so because otherwise he just won't get together with you for snuggle time like when you were just a year or two past boating age. You remember that. Four, your 15year-old sons or daughters grades have dropped through the floor and they fall asleep in class. They have to have meant to get
home. So you know it's got to be something else and it's not mono. It's probably a vitamin deficiency. Number five, you watch some friend or family member absolutely change your life after doing this. You want some of that magic. You're tired of guessing on all your
vitamins cuz you realize now you spent little Suz's college fund chasing wellness that has done you no good. You're still tired. You're still exhausted all the time. Number seven, little Suzy has crazy wonky nutty periods that are driving you crazy and her crazy. and Brett, you have severe
fibromyalgia with horrible chronic fatigue and someone told you to get this test for Dr. Perer in order to save your life. Get the vitamin panel. You can order it from my office. It's called a CMA with a redux. It's an intraator vitamin panel. It's all based on your
genetics. Hey, I love you guys. Thanks to God [music] bless.
