If you're here from Instagram or YouTube, welcome. I'm glad you're following along.
One of the things I want to do with these resources is make medicine and health information easier to understand.
Most people recognize a few health numbers — blood pressure, cholesterol, maybe blood sugar. But those numbers are only part of a much bigger picture.
I've created this interactive checklist to introduce you to some of the biomarkers physicians may consider when looking more deeply at metabolic health, cardiovascular health, hormones, nutrition, inflammation and healthy aging.
This isn't about ordering every test on this page.
And it isn't about diagnosing yourself.
It's about becoming a more informed participant in your own healthcare.
Let's see how many of your numbers you actually know.
