Your doctor doesn’t know about these biomarkers, but they could save your life.
You trust your annual checkup to catch problems early.
But what if I told you that it’s barely scratching the surface?
Most doctors are relying on outdated tests that miss the earliest warning signs of disease.
By the time something actually shows up on those labs, it’s already too late. And that mistake could cost you years of your life.

Beyond Standard Testing
Most doctors only check surface level biomarkers, but real health optimization goes much deeper.
Here’s what you should be testing:
- ApoB: The real predictor of heart disease. Way more accurate than LDL cholesterol.
- Fasting insulin: The earliest red flag for metabolic dysfunction. Showing problems long before blood sugar changes.
- High sensitivity CRP and homocysteine: Two critical inflammatory markers that can signal hidden cardiovascular and brain disease risks.
- Omega 3 index: Because a deficiency here means higher risk of heart disease, cognitive dysfunction, and even depression.
Early Intervention
Doctors often wait until you have cholesterol that’s way too high, full blown diabetes, or even heart disease before action is taken.
But these markers, they tell you what’s coming years before something happens. And that means you can intervene early and stop disease in its tracks.
Conclusion
So what do you do at your next checkup?
Ask for these tests by name. And if your doctor won’t order them, find somebody who will.
This is your health. It’s your future. And if you’re not tracking these biomarkers, you’re basically just flying blind.
You can’t optimize what you don’t measure. And if you’re serious about your health, it’s time to measure the right things.
