Systematic checkup

Key Insight

● Systematic checkup - Your best ally for early detection. And even if in our region it remains quite primitive, slowly but surely more advanced systematic checkups will arrive here as well, and if you can afford them it is strongly recommended to ask your doctor for them. If you are under 40 this may not need to be the top priority, but if you are over 40 and have money this is surely a good investment. In America there are systematic checkups that cost around $50,000 USD and scan the whole body with a CT scanner and perform serious analyses of bodily fluids to detect even the smallest signs of disease. 60% of tests find at least something. “It’s easier for me not to know” turns a routine procedure into death...

● What you can do here now and cheaply (and continue doing annually)? ○ A detailed systematic (the more detailed and expensive the better). ○ Detailed body fat assessment. ■ Low body fat means health and longevity. ○ VO2max analysis. ■ High VO2max means health and longevity. ○ Ophthalmologist examination. ■ Remove diopter with laser if available. ○ HRV and resting heart rate. ■ HRV – high is good, resting heart rate – low is good. ○ DEXA scan. ○ Continuous glucose monitoring 24h. ○ Detailed blood analysis (~40 markers recommended on “Blueprint” (google Bryan Johnson Blueprint)).

● If you travel to America you can do a 23andMe DNA analysis, which detects markers for nearly all genetic diseases and gives you early warning for genetic predispositions (about $200 one‑time).
