12 Blood Tests Your Doctor Probably Isn't Running and Why They Matter
|
Quick one today because I just finished something I've been wanting to put together for a while and wanted to share it with you immediately. I spent a lot of time this past year writing about Function Health and using their service. It occurred to me one thing kept coming up in conversations with readers: most people have no idea their standard annual blood panel is missing the markers that actually matter for long-term health. Things like Lp(a), the genetic cardiovascular risk marker your cardiologist probably hasn't mentioned. Or fasting insulin, which tells you whether insulin resistance is developing years before it shows up on glucose, but doctors never test it. Or your Omega-3 Index, which predicts cardiovascular risk and cognitive decline better than most conventional tests. So I put together a free Blood Test Biomarker Cheat Sheet covering 12 of these underutilized markers, including the standard range, the optimal functional range, a plain-English explanation of what each one actually tells you along with links to the research behind every claim. I think you'll find it very useful. Download the Free Cheat Sheet If your doctor won't order these tests and you want to run all 12 in one draw, Function Health is the easiest way to do it. More soon, Cheryl |

Years ago after I started reading the research on PFAS and phthalates, I made a list of every potential exposure in my kitchen and felt mildly horrified. The pans, the plastic storage containers, the candles, the cling wrap, the fragrance in the dish soap...all of these carry potential health hazards. The instinct, when you read enough of this research, is to throw everything out and start over, but that isn't necessary. I have spent the last few years swapping things out gradually and I want...
Yesterday was a hard leg day, the kind where you know you'll feel it on the stairs for the next 48 hours. I had dinner out with a girlfriend that evening, we split a bottle of wine and spent two glorious hours catching up. We laughed at the kind of stuff you can only laugh at with someone who has known you for 13 years and discussed all the conspiracy theories where the AI overlords rule and make us thankful we have friends with farms. You know, the usual 😂 Given the wine, leg day and later...
