Chi Longevity goes beyond bloodwork with cognitive, dual-task and psychological assessments. This reflects @AndreaBMaier’s concept of biological youthfulness, supporting cognitive, functional and physical capacity throughout life. #ChiLongevity#

Darryn Peterson said a new round of bloodwork and other tests after the season led his doctors to conclude that his use of high doses of creatine led to mysterious and sometimes debilitating cramping.

What if your healthcare could connect the dots between your bloodwork, sleep, genetics and everyday life – before something goes wrong? #longevity# #healthcare# #bloodwork# #genetics# #sleep# @Longevity_Inv @superpower @maxmarchione

Just got my first scan at Neko Health's first NYC location and it felt like stepping into the future 🤯 I am someone who dreads doctor visits, blood draws, the whole nine yards. But Neko feels more like a sci-fi spa than a clinic. 6K images analyze your skin, then a bunch of scans and (relatively painless) bloodwork get turned around in time for an onsite doctor to walk you through a full-body view of your health in the room next door. In one hour, I probably learned more about my body's makeup than the rest of my life combined. My big takeaways: keep lifting weights, consume less sodium, and pretend to drink less coffee 😂 I am not an influencer and have no skin in the game here, but a big thanks to U.S. patient No. 3 @N_Sportelli and the Neko team @sarahmcbride and @shak for giving me an early look at no cost. I already shelled out my $499 via random HSA card for a 2nd scan in 6 months. Well done, @HNilsonne -- let's talk about it more on The Upstarts Podcast soon 👀

I'm a cardiologist. At 108 years old, she just renewed her driver's license — good until 2033. Sit with that. She was born before penicillin. She has outlived world wars, pandemics, and every "breakthrough" that promised to be the secret. And when they asked her how, she didn't name a supplement, a peptide, or a lab test. She named five things: Keep moving. Eat real food. Laugh every single day. Don't waste energy holding grudges. Never lose your sense of purpose. Here's what humbles me as a physician: buried in that simple list is nearly everything the hard science of longevity has confirmed. Keep moving — physical fitness is the single strongest predictor of how long you'll live. Stronger than almost any number on your bloodwork. Eat real food — not a diet, not a cleanse. Just food your great-grandmother would recognize. It's the whole game. Laugh every day — laughter lowers cortisol and blood pressure and improves the flexibility of your blood vessels. That's not a metaphor. It's measurable. Don't hold grudges — chronic resentment keeps your stress system switched on, and that quiet, constant cortisol drip taxes the heart every single day. Letting go isn't soft. It's cardioprotective. Never lose your purpose — this may be the most powerful of all. In the longevity research, having a reason to get up in the morning is associated with lower mortality. People with strong purpose live measurably longer. The heart keeps beating for something. We spend fortunes chasing complexity — the newest scan, the exotic molecule, the perfect protocol. And a 108-year-old woman with a valid driver's license just reminded us that the truest medicine was never complicated. It was consistent. I'll spend my career grateful for the drugs and technology that save lives. But I'll never stop telling patients what she already knows: The fundamentals aren't the boring part of longevity. They're the whole thing. Move. Eat real. Laugh. Forgive. Keep your purpose burning. Clear mind. Clean heart. Keep driving.

I've watched people rebuild their entire lives from a hospital bed — and the rebuilding always starts the same way. Alone. In silence. With nobody clapping. Nobody is coming to save you. Here's what to do about it. 1. Stop waiting to be rescued. The day you take responsibility is the day it starts. Not before. 2. Learn to enjoy your own company. If you can't sit with yourself, you'll accept people who are bad for you just to avoid the silence. That's how most people end up trapped. 3. Fix your daily habits before you fix your life. Sleep. Real food. Movement. I can read every one of those in your bloodwork. Small habits aren't small. 4. Cut what drains you. Chronic stress isn't a mood — it's cortisol, blood pressure, inflammation. Some people are quietly billing your body every single day. Stop paying. 5. Stop comparing. You're not behind. You're not late. You're living a different story. 6. Stop escaping. Distraction numbs the pain and delays the healing. The scroll is not rest. 7. Learn to calm your mind. Prayer, meditation, silence, journaling. It lowers blood pressure and heart rate. That's not soft. That's medicine. 8. Forgive who you were in the hardest years. You did the best you could with what you had. Carrying that guilt has a physical price — I see it in patients constantly. 9. Build discipline, not motivation. Motivation is a feeling. Discipline is a decision. Feelings lie. 10. Protect your peace. Not every argument, invitation, or opportunity deserves access to your energy. 11. Accept that healing is slow. A life doesn't fall apart in a day. It doesn't rebuild in one either. 12. Keep promises to yourself. Every one you keep builds self-respect. Every one you break teaches you that you can't be trusted. 13. Stop talking yourself out of your potential. Most people quit before they ever start. 14. Progress, not perfection. A small step forward is still forward. 15. Become the person you needed when you were struggling. The brutal part: nobody sees any of it. Nobody sees the habits you're changing. The thoughts you're fighting. The tears you're hiding. The discipline you're building. The healing you're doing in silence. One honest warning from a doctor, though — do the inner work alone, but don't do life alone. Isolation raises mortality risk about as much as smoking. Rebuild yourself quietly, then let people back in. That's not weakness. That's cardiology. One day you'll look back and realize: The person who rescued you. The person who refused to quit on you. The person who rebuilt your life. Was you.

Went for routine blood work after going hard at the gym. The next day, my doctor called about elevated "CK" (creatine kinase) levels! Turns out creatine kinase can spike after a hardcore workout. Muscle stress and damage can show up in your blood work. Worth mentioning that gym session to your doctor. 😏

You can literally upload your blood work, X-rays or MRI scans to Grok and have it analyze everything, cross-check the medical data and tell you everything it sees And sometimes that second opinion can catch something your physician missed... and that could really end up being a lifesaver Having AI constantly cross-checking your health data is going to become one of the most valuable uses of AI Try it with Grok. It will give you a detailed, direct analysis and another set of eyes on your health data

ELON MUSK: “You take a photograph of your blood work, upload it from your phone to Grok. It will understand what all the data results are and tell you if there’s something wrong. Even now, you can upload your X-rays and MRI images to Grok, and it will give you a medical diagnosis, which from what I’ve seen, is at least as good; I’ve seen cases where it’s actually better than what the doctor told you.”
