“Dr. Attia separates transient exercise-related glucose rises from sustained dysglycemia and treats HbA1c, average glucose, variability, and context as complementary signals rather than one universal glucose target.”

“Urolithin A is produced when certain gut microbes transform compounds found in pomegranate, berries, and walnuts, but production varies substantially between people. Human trials of purified urolithin A have found changes in biomarkers related to mitochondrial quality control and improvements in selected strength or endurance measures.”

“This additive pattern was specific to that clock, showing how different aging biomarkers can respond differently to the same intervention. Separate DO-HEALTH analyses add clinical context.”

“Traditional medicine focuses on treating rather than preventing diseases — a model that Dr. Snyder describes as "broken." Under the conventional medical system, healthy people are followed sporadically, with only a few biomarkers measured yearly.”

“The present correlation between CTSB and verbal learning and memory suggests that CTSB may be useful as a marker for cognitive changes relevant to hippocampal function after exercise in a population at risk for dementia.[...]”

“Elevated biomarkers of inflammation, such as interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), are commonly observed in people with depression. These pro-inflammatory cytokines coincide with the development of depressive symptoms and induce changes in the brain and neuroendocrine function.”

“Moreover, inflammation can be clinically monitored by well-known biomarkers for systemic inflammation, making it amenable to potentially tracking therapeutic success: the risk of major depression has been shown to increase by 44% for each standard deviation increase in log c-reactive protein.”

“As an alternative energy source for the brain, ketones stave off hunger when blood glucose levels are low, for example, during a calorie-restricted weight loss diet. When starting a ketogenic diet, it is important to track macronutrients, calories, and relevant biomarkers.”

“Similarly, those with the highest LDL and Lp(a) levels were 36% and 33% more likely, respectively, to have a heart attack or stroke. Each biomarker contributed independently to overall cardiovascular risk, with the strongest predictive power coming from a combination of all three markers.”

“On the other hand, for people interested in fat loss, breath acetone is a non-invasive tool for estimating fat loss. Dr. D'Agostino describes how he uses the Glucose Ketone Index – a single value biomarker representing the glucose-to-ketone ratio in the blood.”
