Biomarker Monitoring
Quarterly or semi-annual comprehensive blood work to detect dysfunction early and optimize interventions. Track metabolic, inflammatory, hormonal, and nutrient markers.
Home Blood Pressure Monitoring
Use a validated upper-arm cuff to capture morning and evening readings for 7 days. Track weekly averages as an actionable cardiovascular risk signal.
Resveratrol and Polyphenol Protocol
Consume diverse polyphenols daily via blueberries, green tea, dark chocolate, and optionally supplement resveratrol (250-500mg). Activates sirtuin and AMPK longevity pathways.
