ADVICE

Key Blood Tests for Longevity

  • For longevity, focus on APOE genotype and LDL particle measurements to tailor risk mitigation.
  • Use an OGTT with insulin and glucose measurements at baseline, 1 hour, and 2 hours to catch early metabolic dysfunction.
ADVICE

Carbs Post-Workout Depends on Goals

  • Consume carbs post-workout to maximize muscle hypertrophy if muscle size is your goal.
  • Skip carbs after lifting if you prioritize caloric restriction or long-term metabolic health over size.
ADVICE

Peter Attia's Supplement Regimen

  • Supplement with vitamin D, baby aspirin, methylfolate, B12, EPA/DHA, berberine, and probiotics based on personalized needs.
  • Use blood levels to titrate doses and cycle probiotics periodically to optimize health.
