How does bloodwork relate to overall health?
Blood work provides a snapshot of your body’s internal environment. It reveals hormonal balance, metabolic efficiency, and early signs of inflammation before symptoms even appear—integral for tailoring health strategies across all five elements.
What’s the difference between “average” and “optimal” blood reference ranges?
Most reference ranges are based on a generally unhealthy population, while our optimal ranges are derived from data on truly healthy individuals. This approach helps identify subtle imbalances early on, enabling proactive lifestyle and clinical interventions.
Which blood tests are key for a comprehensive health assessment?
Essential tests include fasting insulin, detailed cholesterol panels (like ApoB), inflammatory markers (e.g., CRP), and key hormone levels. These biomarkers form the basis for personalized programs that address every facet of your health from metabolism to recovery.
How does Clay’s approach to bloodwork set itself apart?
