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 |

I just got back from a snowboarding trip in Utah and I'm still thawing out. It wasn't the best snow year out West unfortunately, but we still had a great time. You make the most of it when you're out there! The upside of fewer powder days? I got a ton of work done. Between runs, I was studying for my NASM personal trainer certification and I knocked out a bunch of new content for the site that I'm really excited about. One thing that hasn't changed no matter where I am: I'm still cook every...
Being away from home for a few weeks with less responsibility for keeping up with house projects has allowed me to be super productive!
