“Dr. Patrick also discusses glucose, HbA1c, fasting insulin, kidney and electrolyte markers, hs-CRP, fibrinogen, thyroid tests, CBC, vitamin D, sex hormones, IGF-1, and the Omega-3 Index.”

“Finally, choline is also a precursor for phosphatidylcholine, the major component of all cell membranes, which affects the structure, permeability and function of cells and is particularly important in neurons since it plays a role in general neurotransmission.”

“A preliminary study shows atrophy in olfactory brain regions and areas responsible for learning and memory, after COVID-19 illness, even in those with mild cases. Converging evidence suggests that the long-term impacts of SARS-CoV-2 infection are unknown.”

“Because red blood cells turn over slowly, the test provides a longer-term view of marine omega-3 status than a recent meal and gives people a measurable way to evaluate diet or supplementation.”

“A later Framingham analysis followed 2,240 adults for 11 years and found that a red-cell fatty acid model including the Omega-3 Index predicted all-cause mortality about as well as a model using several standard cardiovascular risk factors.”

“The mast cells release pro­inflammatory cytokines and proteases that damage the gut, leading to intestinal permeability, a condition otherwise known as “leaky gut.” This leakiness allows bacteria and bacterial antigens to cross the gut’s inner layer, the epithelium, and activate even more immune cells, leading to more inflammation – a key driver in the aging process.”
