Tell your friends and family to ask for hs-CRP on their blood work. It’s an easy test to get. If you don’t have a Doctor you can have it drawn at most labs as a self paying patient.

You want that number below 1. Your risk scales up along with the number. Look at my past post on this to see those risks!

Continue to follow along as I outline my deadly biomarkers to look for.

Next up homocysteine! What is it and what you need to look for.

If your over 3mg/L these are some of the risk factors

❤️ Heart Attack +200-300%

🧠 Alzheimer’s +100-200%

💉 Diabetes. + 300-500%

⚡️Stroke. +150-200%

🔬Cancer. + 30-50%

This BIOMARKER can be added to any routine blood draw!

Many labs will allow you to order it yourself even without a Dr.

As always please share with friends and family. Tell them to ask for it on their next blood draw.

Ask for this BIOMARKER every time you have your bloodwork drawn. Be specific you want the (hs CRP)

It is a master inflammation marker!

Some doctors discount it because it’s non specific but that’s what makes it a great marker.

❎ If it’s elevated your aging faster and your risk profile for almost every disease increases dramatically.

🔴>1mg/L Optimal this is where you want to be( most centenarians are below 1)

🔴1-3 mg/L Moderate 30-50 percent increased mortality risk (very common to find on labs)

🔴3-6mg/ High you have doubled your mortality risk 2-3X major disease risk

🔴6-10mg/L Very high risk you have tripled your mortality risk 3-4X increased major disease

🔴>10 mg/L Critical 5-8X mortality risk acute illness, active disease or crisis.

iNFLAMMATION IS KILLING YOU!

Next post we dive in a little more. As always please share this information And invite friends and family to follow along. That one simple step may change the trajectory of someone’s health.

One supplement is not going to fix this. You need more data. Continue to follow along as I outline what biomarkers to look for, what they mean and how to fix these pathways!

As Always please share these posts with your friends and family. Something they learn may change the trajectory of their health.

Next post we start a new BIOMARKER ( hs CRP) you should ask for this marker every time your Dr draws your labs!

YOUR BRAINS EARLY WARNING SYSTEM LIVES IN YOUR CELL MEMBRANES!!

Dr Dayan Goodenowe / Rush University Study

WHAT THEY STUDIED

✔️1,262 people

✔️8,762 blood samples

✔️average 7 samples per person

✔️followed for years to track cognitive decline and mortality

WHAT THEY FOUND

Your plasmaolgens( a special membrane fat) quietly declined as early as your 40s or 50s. In one study they dropped significantly in only 3.7 years between visits.

WHY IT MATTERS

Higher plasmalogens levels were linked to a 🧠80% lower risk of developing dementia in the next 6 years. ❤️ A 50% lower risk of dying from any cause.

PLASMALOGENS ARE ONE OF THE MOST FORWARD LOOKING BIOMARKERS EVER STUDIED!!

The Prodrome Scan is the only test on the market that measures these important biomarkers plus it measures 6 or 7 of my other favorites.

You can measure them
You can track them
You can improve them

Click the link in the Bio and go to Prodrome Science to order yours!
Give them my name Dr Raymond Petsch and I will analyze your results and give you my recommendations!

PLASMALOGENS what are they?
Why are they important?

Plasmalogens are a very special lipid that are part of every membrane in the body.

They are involved in:

🔴Structural integrity of cellular membranes

🔴Fluidity and cell membrane dynamics

🔴 Cell signaling

🔴Cell adhesion

🔴Structural integrity of myelin to protect the nerves

🔴Antioxidant protection of the cell

They have very high concentrations in

The brain

The heart

The eyes

The lungs

The kidneys

As we age our production of these important molecules slows but our consumption often increases. After the age of 50 the depletion often out weighs the production and our levels can fall dramatically.

Look at that list of organs again. As we age those are the organs where we begin to struggle?

You don’t have to be old to experience a depletion. Illness or injury can accelerate loss.

Many diseases are associated with low levels of plasmalogens.

Dementia
Cancer
Heart disease

These low levels proceed disease development by 10 years or more.

Thats what makes them a GREAT BIOMARKER for disease risk!

I wanted to talk about these a little more this post because I want to stress the importance of these molecules.
Next post I will talk about how to test your levels. What levels indicate risk and how to fix them!

As always please share this with someone you love it could change the trajectory of their health!!!

BIOMARKER #1 Plasmalogens

Never heard of them?

That’s ok your doctor doesn’t know what they are either.

What are they?

They are a special kind of lipid that makes up a large percentage of your cell membranes.

Think of them like the bouncers at that exclusive club.

They control
* What nutrients get in the cell
* What molecules come out of the cell
*They influence cell communication

Without them you would not survive long!

Here is the kicker!

If your plasmalogens are depleted or damaged (peroxidated) only a fraction of your healthy diet and expensive supplement stack actually make it into the cell.

You can be doing everything right but if your membranes are broken your cells are still starving!!

The gate is broken or closed!

Some organs have very high levels of plasmalogens

🧠 30% of your brain lipids
❤️50% of your heart lipids

If you drop into the 10th percentile your risk goes up exponentially!

🔴+600-900% dementia risk

🔴+300-500% cancer risk

🔴+220-380% heart attack risk

🔴+150-200% stroke risk

This isn’t “slightly suboptimal” this is catastrophic cellular failure!!

Most people are at 50% depletion by the age of 60, but I commonly find levels below 30% in people of all ages.

This is why I call plasmalogens “THE ROOT OF THE ROOT” in my cellular restoration protocol!

When your cell membranes are healthy everything just works better!

FIX YOR MEMBRANES
FIX YOUR CELLS
FIX YOUR BODY

In my next post I will talk about how to test them and how to restore them!

Most of us are expected to live to 78–80 in the U.S.
But here’s the part no one talks about: our healthy years end around 66. (HALE stats)
That’s 12–14 final years spent tired, sick, in pain, or dependent on others.
And it’s getting worse, fast.
Early-onset cancer (under 50) is up ~80% in the last decade.
Dementia diagnoses now starting in people’s 40s.
Heart disease striking younger and younger.
We’re not dying earlier — we’re just living sicker, longer.
After 30+ years in clinical practice and thousands of patients, I kept asking one question:
“Why are so many people declining so early — and what actually reverses it?”
That question led me deep into cellular health and advanced biomarkers most doctors never check.
What I found shocked me.
Perfectly “healthy-looking” people in their 30s, 40s, and 50s walking around with biological red flags that dramatically raise risk of heart attack, stroke, cancer, and cognitive decline in the next 5–10 years.
The crazy part? Almost all of these markers are reversible with the right diet, lifestyle, and targeted nutrition — often in months, not decades.
This holiday season, you’ll sit across the table from family and friends you love.
Statistically, some of them are on a trajectory they don’t see.
I’ve lost too many patients and friends who didn’t have to go so soon.
I don’t want that for you or the people you care about.
So here’s what I’m asking:
1. Stick with me over the next weeks — I’m going to break down the exact biomarkers I test, what the numbers mean, and simple, evidence-based ways to move them (no crazy biohacks, no $10,000 treatments).
2. If something I share resonates with your own health (or lack of energy, brain fog, stubborn weight, etc.), take it seriously and act.
3. Most importantly — share these posts with people you love. One message from you could literally add healthy decades to someone’s life.
Drop a ❤️ below if you’re in this with me.
And tag someone who needs to see this.
Let’s change some trajectories — together.
