10 Key Biomarkers to Test to Improve Your Health

In the fast-paced world we live in, it's easy to overlook the intricate processes that keep our bodies running smoothly. One such vital process is metabolism, responsible for converting the food and beverages we consume into the energy we need to function. 

Metabolism at a glance

It's a complex network of chemical reactions that allows us to harness the energy we get from our diet.

1  Waist circumference:A healthy level is under 35 inches for women and under 40 inches for men.

2. Blood pressure: High blood pressure is another important indicator of metabolic health; it can reflect the body's ability to regulate blood flow and energy utilization, and it is often linked to metabolic syndrome and related conditions.

3. Fasting Glucose (Optimal Range: 70-85 mg/dL) Keeping fasting glucose between 70-85 mg/dL is essential for preventing insulin resistance and metabolic dysfunction. While fasting glucose levels between 85-99 mg/dL are often labeled "normal," higher levels could signal early metabolic dysfunction. 

Elevated fasting glucose levels may contribute to an increased risk for metabolic issues, which can be associated with conditions like type 2 diabetes and heart disease.

4. Hemoglobin A1c (Optimal Range: 5-5.4%)

Hemoglobin A1c measures average blood glucose over the past three months and is a critical marker for assessing long-term glucose control. Keeping A1c levels below 5.4% to ensure optimal metabolic function. 

Warning:  that even slightly elevated levels (5.5%-6.4%) can indicate pre-diabetes, suggesting early insulin resistance, which can significantly increase the risk of diabetes.

5. Apo B (Optimal Range: <80 mg/dL)

Apo B, a key marker for cardiovascular health, measures the number of "bad" cholesterol particles (LDL). Aim for Apo B levels below 80 mg/dL to minimize their risk of atherosclerosis. 

Elevated Apo B levels suggest an increased number of LDL particles that can deposit cholesterol in the arteries, potentially leading to heart disease.

6. Triglycerides (Optimal Range: <80 mg/dL)

Triglyceride levels under 80 mg/dL indicate healthy fat metabolism. Elevated triglycerides are often a sign of insulin resistance and poor metabolic health, typically linked to high sugar and refined carbohydrate intake. 

7. HDL Cholesterol (Optimal Range: 50-90 mg/dL)

HDL cholesterol is often called the "good" cholesterol because it helps remove excess cholesterol from the bloodstream. Maintaining HDL levels between 50-90 mg/dL is crucial for cardiovascular health. Levels below this range can signal a higher risk of heart disease, while levels too high can indicate other metabolic issues.

8 Liver Enzymes (AST/ALT Optimal Range: <17)

The liver plays a crucial role in detoxification and metabolism, and elevated AST or ALT levels can signal liver inflammation or metabolic dysfunction. 

9. Fasting Insulin (Optimal Range: 2-5 mIU/L)

Fasting insulin is a key indicator of how sensitive the body is to insulin. 

Fasting insulin levels between 2-5 mIU/L as the optimal range for insulin sensitivity. Fasting insulin levels over 10 mIU/L indicate insulin resistance, which can precede type 2 diabetes.

10. hsCRP (Optimal Range: <0.3 mg/dL)

High-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) is an inflammatory marker and essential for tracking systemic inflammation. 

Elevated hsCRP levels are associated with increased cardiovascular risk and chronic inflammation. Keeping hsCRP below 0.3 mg/dL helps minimize inflammation and reduce the risk of metabolic diseases.

Daily Wellness Habits for each day of the week.

Monday:      Stay hydrated.  Sip H20 like it's your job.

Tuesday:      Consider starting a mindfulness practice such as meditation, a gratitude journal, or starting each day with a positive affirmation.

Wednesday:  Read a book, newsletter or listen to a podcast that inspires or challenges you every month.

Thursday:     Dedicate regular time, an hour a week or a day a month for example, to spend time in nature.

Friday:          Take time to unplug from digital distractions daily.

Saturday:      Forgive someone you’ve been holding resentment against. That can include yourself.

Sunday:        Prioritize the right amount of quality sleep for you nightly.  Start a bedtime ritual that signals your body to relax.

"One day I would love to..."

The challenge in today's society is what I see as a "waiting epidemic"

My message is simple: Stop waiting to live.

Change happens when you feel uncomfortable.

You need to be honest with yourself

What are you currently waiting for?  Why?

What is stropping you from living more proactively?

Jeremiah 29:11

 "For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

Increase our belief system, your happiness,\

God Declares that he want a bright future for us!

This is how God wants your life to be.

Don't waste time.
God's declares it, we have to accept, if we accept it, then we can manifest it.
Get Clear or so it's obvious to the eye or mind.
