I grab the mic to discuss my latest lab test results and how I'm shocked that my ApoB came out much higher than anticipated. This is a protein that can be used to determine heart disease risk. I discuss the differences between Medicine 2.0 (attacking the issue after you have it) and Medicine 3.0 (preventing the issue before it occurs). Below are extra biomarkers that Dr. Peter Attia recommends we get tested.



Coronary calcium scan

A screening that looks for calcium deposits in the heart’s arteries—to determine risk for cardiovascular disease. This test involves a CT scan of your heart, which is then used to give you a calcium score. The higher your score, the more likely you are to develop heart disease. 

In addition to a standard annual blood test—which includes a basic metabolic panel and a complete blood count (CBC)—Attia also recommends five preventative tests:

Biomarker Tests:

Lipoprotein (a) (Lp(a)-P): Certain LPA gene expressions are linked to an increased risk for blood vessel diseases, stroke, and heart attack. You only need to get this test done once to uncover your genotype. 

APOE Gene: This one time test can determine your risk for neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s.

ApoB: This test measures ApoB levels, the main protein found in the “bad” low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, and can be used to determine heart disease risk.

OGTT with insulin measurements: This test has more sensitivity and specificity than a typical A1C glucose test when used to diagnose pre-diabetes.

ALT: This test can indicate fatty liver disease risk. When alanine transaminase (ALT)—an enzyme that is released when your liver is injured or damaged—levels are high, it may indicate that your liver isn’t functioning optimally.

Ultra-endurance athlete, podcast host and business coach, RJ Singh, joins me on this episode for his one-of-a-kind story and journey through life that has reached the lowest of lows to a comeback for the ages.

RJ spent years with the wrong crowd making some bad decisions and battling addictions with some powerful drugs which actually led to incarceration. His life seemed to get worse as soon as he hit rock bottom, but with a mindset switch and sticking to discipline and great habits, he was able to pull a complete 180.

He's now an ultra-endurance athlete, challenging himself to some of the hardest races in the world as well as having his eyes on breaking the 24 hour burpee record. RJ is a podcast host of Ultra Habits and has been coaching individuals for over 10 years — establishing The Ultrahabits Way; a personalised habits-based transformation program focused on strengthening individuals through optimizing their core habits.

I recently found out that I'm going to be a dad in the spring of 2024! I'm super excited as this is a day I've been looking forward to for years, but I'm also a bit nervous with some anxieties. I recognize the responsibilities that come with being a dad but I'm venturing into the world of the unknown for me. Can you relate?
