In this week's episode, I had an insightful conversation with Dr. Adam Hotchkiss, a foot and ankle surgeon turned health optimization coach, where we explored the importance of regular blood work for optimizing health, fitness, and body composition.
We discussed the key blood markers to track for cardiovascular health, glycemic regulation, and hormone balance, and why relying solely on standard blood tests might not provide a complete picture of your health. We also uncovered surprising ways that inflammation can affect overall wellness and why it’s crucial to pay attention to it.
I hope you enjoy!
