Lifestyle Changes to Minimize Disease Risk, Part 1 (Breather Episode with Brad)

Today we’ll be talking about the very important subject of how to correct adverse lifestyle practices and disease risk factors. We’ll be discussing important biomarkers to look out for on blood tests, the corrective actions we can do now for our health, and time-efficient fitness and exercises protocols that will help support longevity. I’ll also discuss why having an extreme devotion to fitness cannot help nor guarantee healthy cardiovascular function. TIMESTAMPS: How do we know we are walking around with disease risk factors? The spare tire is showing a sign of aging. [01:19] There is amazing technology and resources now for you to get your blood and much more tested. [05:29] Keep your morning routine fasting blood glucose level under 100. [11:28] When you get your blood glucose testing done, it’s a good idea to get the male hormone test as well. The average male testosterone level is declining at a rate of 1% per year since the 1980s. [13:42] At least once a year you should get a complete blood panel. The contention that there is good cholesterol and bad cholesterol is distorted. [18:46] Triglycerides to HDL ratio is an important one to look for. [23:07] Research shows that, for example, if you get up and walk after a meal, you can mute the insulin response by 50%. [26:47] There are many other numbers that are important to look for. [28:40] It is important to understand your blood readings because even the well-intended who change to keto, paleo, and low carb diets, may find that their body genetics do not do well. Understand how the diet affects the blood chemistry. [33:56] Vitamin D is extremely important. It comes mostly from sun exposure. If you can tan, you can make Vitamin D.
