What I Personally Ask For During My Physicals

Hey, Dr. Brown here, creator of Atrantil.

When I go in for my own physical, I ask for more than just standard bloodwork.

Basic labs are important, but they don’t always tell the full story.

Here’s what I personally like to monitor and why:

1. Full Thyroid Panel

Not just TSH.

I like to look at the full picture because thyroid issues can affect:

• Energy
• Weight
• Mood
• Digestion

2. Fasting Insulin

This helps catch insulin resistance early, often before blood sugar or A1C become abnormal.

A lot of metabolic issues start here.

3. Vitamin D

One of the most common deficiencies I see.
