Mark Hyman’s Guide to Living Longer and Staying Strong

You know, I'm doing function, what add on tests should I get, what imaging should I do? Can you maybe walk us through, like, two examples? One for people who just want to make sure they're catching all of the things, you know, that could be severe issues or, you know, kill them early. And one for people who are like, truly trying to optimize their health. What do you recommend they do in terms of, you know, additional blood tests, imaging, et cetera? Yeah. So we have a lot of depth in what we can do. And I think that the basic membership includes over 110 biomarkers that look at almost every system in your body that are missed often. Your heart and cardiovascular system, your immune system, hormones, autoimmunity toxins, metabolic health, nutritional status, hormonal health. All these things are important to understand. And depending on where you are in your life and what's going on with you, you may want to look at different things. For example, if you're getting older or you have Alzheimer's in your family, there's a really robust brain health panel. But I'll just look at some of the newer biomarkers that are emerging around, almost like a blood test for Alzheimer's that we can take decades earlier and do something about. We also look at cancer screening. You know, if you're 20, you're probably not going to do this, but as you get older, there's something called the gallery test, which is a multi cancer detection test to look at over 50 different cancers. Not perfect, but it's better than most things. We have to really screen for cancer. You know, if you're concerned about your toxic exposure, you might want to do a deeper dive on pfas or forever chemicals and bpa. If you are concerned, you might have, you know, chronic fatigue or something like that. You can do a viral panel to see what's going on with your, with your immune system to. If you want to see what's going on with your cardiovascular health, you can even do deeper dives on cardiovascular health and look at all kinds of subsets of different cholesterol molecules. Get pretty sophisticated. And then for hormones, we also do deep hormonal testing. So everybody gets a basic hormone panel for men and women. But if you want to add on stuff, you can do extended hormone panels and see other things that may be relevant for your health. And then the beautiful thing is that is that you can get your twice here testing, but then you can add on things if you want extra, for example, if you want to know, extra nutrients that we may not be testing with the first screen, like.
