Transcript

I've been thinking a lot about heart health lately. I recently got my annual physical, and I was very eager to get a sense of how I'm doing heart-wise. I had a grandfather who died very young because he did not take care of his heart health. Anyway, back to you. One thing that you should be aware of is how much can be happening with your heart quietly with markers most people have never tested. Here's the thing about heart health. Feeling fine and being fine are not the same thing. Most of us track the basics, maybe LDL, maybe blood pressure, and assume that covers it. But there are markers that paint a much more specific picture of cardiovascular risk, APOB, which directly counts the particles in your blood that can build up in arterial walls, LPA, a genetic-driven Risk factor that most people have never been tested for ever. HSCRP, which signals how much systemic inflammation is quietly running in the background. These are not obscure numbers. They're just ones that most standard physicals don't check. That's why I use Function, 160 plus lab tests a year, including the cardiovascular markers that actually tell a more complete story. Not a guess, not a maybe, a real look at where things stand. That's what taking your heart health seriously is. actually looks like. Check your health the way I do. Function provides 160 plus lab tests for a dollar a day.
