Going for your annual physical this January? 🗓️
Here’s a gentle reminder: don’t stop at “everything looks normal.”📉
Normal ranges don’t always mean *optimal* health.
If you truly want to understand what’s happening inside your body, ask your doctor about these 3 functional markers—they’re incredibly insightful but often *not* part of routine lab work 👇
🔹 Fasting Insulin
This tells you how hard your body is working to manage blood sugar. Even when glucose is “normal,” high insulin can signal early metabolic imbalance, weight gain, or insulin resistance. Think prevention, not panic.
🔹 Vitamin D☀️
More than just a vitamin it’s a hormone that supports immunity, mood, bone health, and inflammation control. Low levels are extremely common and often missed unless specifically tested.
🔹 hs-CRP (High-sensitivity C-Reactive Protein)
A powerful marker of silent inflammation. Chronic low-grade inflammation can be the root of fatigue, gut issues, hormonal imbalance, and long-term disease risk.
✨ Knowledge is power. When you know your numbers, you can make smarter lifestyle and nutrition choices—before symptoms show up.
📌 Save this post for your doctor’s appointment and advocate for your health.
You deserve more than “looks fine.”
