How often should I monitor my cholesterol and ALT levels?

Andrew Huberman recommends monitoring your cholesterol and ALT levels starting from an early age to establish a baseline, which can inform any later changes:

• Initial Baseline: It’s suggested to get these levels checked in your late teens after undergoing puberty.
• Adult Monitoring: Subsequent checks should ideally happen in your mid-20s to compare with earlier levels. If that is not done, it is recommended around age 30.
• Ongoing Monitoring: From age 40 onward, it’s advisable to get these assessments done once a year as part of routine health checks.

This approach helps in understanding how your cholesterol and ALT levels evolve over time, providing essential data to prevent and manage possible health issues 1.
