Episode notes
Longevity Is Healthspan First
- Longevity means maximizing healthspan and preserving function, not just extending lifespan to extreme ages.
- Focus on decade-by-decade function and quality of life rather than a single longevity number.
Test Insulin And Thyroid Early
- Check fasting insulin early to detect metabolic dysfunction before A1C rises and diabetes is evident.
- Test thyroid and common nutrients like vitamin D and magnesium to treat symptoms and improve daily wellbeing.
Beyond Standard Cholesterol Tests
- ApoB and Lp(a) reveal cardiovascular risk beyond standard cholesterol tests and can detect surprising, high-risk profiles.
- Some markers are genetic and may require specialized follow-up even if lifestyle looks perfect.
