• What blood tests should I get? I am 41 year old male and it’s been a long time since I got any tests or checkup.

  • Unfortunately, I couldn't find specific recommendations from the :podcast[Huberman Lab]{sid=feed_4} regarding blood tests for a 41-year-old male who hasn't had a checkup in a while. However, I can suggest some common blood tests that are typically recommended for general health assessments based on general health guidance:

    1. Complete Blood Count (CBC): Evaluates overall health and detects a variety of disorders, such as anemia and infection.
    2. Lipid Profile: Assesses cholesterol levels and helps evaluate cardiovascular risk.
    3. Blood Glucose Test: Screens for diabetes or prediabetic conditions.
    4. Basic Metabolic Panel: Checks kidney function, blood sugar, and electrolyte levels.
    5. Liver Function Tests: Helps assess the health of your liver.
    6. Thyroid Function Tests: Checks how well your thyroid is working.
    7. High-Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein (hs-CRP): Tests for inflammation in the body.
    8. Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) Test: Recommended for monitoring prostate health, especially important around your age.

    It would be best to consult with a healthcare professional to tailor these tests based on your personal health history and needs.
