  • ChatGPT and LLMs now often outperform social media for initial health questions and test interpretation.
  • Matt Kaeberlein warns they're imperfect but far better than TikTok or YouTube gurus.
ADVICE

Run A Broad Preventive Blood Panel

  • Do comprehensive blood panels including advanced lipids, insulin, inflammation, hormones, and nutrients for preventive insight.
  • Pair bloodwork with DEXA and functional tests for high-value, actionable screening.
ADVICE

Use DEXA To Track Body Composition Annually

  • Get a whole-body DEXA (not just bone density) regularly to track fat, muscle, and bone distribution.
  • Aim for at least once every couple years, ideally annually for adults over 40.
