Good info. I had these tests done through a functional doctor last year. My 1gf was 181. My Lipo (a) was 14. HSCRP 1.0. Ferritin 261. Fasting insulin 7.1. Definitely do this yourself. Kaiser just pushes drugs and doesn't care about you personally...at least most of them . Also take a CAC scan. Cost me 71 dollars. Dr wanted to put me on statins because my triglycerides were in the 300's. Scan of heart showed zero calcium. Took a PAD scan which also showed clear. Dr decided no statins just continue exercise and watch carbs. Uh ya.....I know.
Thanks for sharing this info. Where did you get your own test?
Can you name the lab test to show my doctor
You videos by yourself are amazingly informative and easy to understand without interrupting your information or changing the topic. Thank you so much Dr Gundry. You are the best!
Ferritin means inflammation, check inflammation markers (my notes)
Fasting insulin level test, should be below 10 or you have insulin resistance (my notes)
Was wondering if you take senior insurances! I have a autoimmune disease and fill I'm alone in this. That's why I listen to you! Most doctors just want to fill you with antibiotic's.. I want to eat right but everyone tells you something different about foods. Confused about the Keto diet!
Fasting insulin test? I live in British Columbia. That’s in Western Canada eh! I have been told by every medical professional I have requested a fasting insulin test from that they are not allowed to write a requisition for it because it is a useless test that is a waste of money. It is not on the schedule of lab tests. They would need to make application to the medical association for an ‘exception’.
Holy mackerel. Glad I'm not in Canada
In Australia, doctors can still request insulin test on Medicare, but many of them won’t do so just like you said they think it’s a completely useless test which doesn’t show anything. I was diagnosed with diabetes 10 years ago, thanks to a naturopath who sent me for this test. Before I saw that naturopath, I d seen 7 general practitioners and they kept testing all the standard blood tests like blood glucose etc and ALL of them were normal. I had a range of typical diabetes symptoms, and doctors were just saying oh you’re young, there’s nothing wrong, just drink more water, stress less, sleep more, eat 5-6 times a day (which is a killer for a diabetic) and you’ll be fine. And nobody bothered to question how come a young skinny girl suddenly put on 25kg out of nowhere within 3 months etc. I don’t know why but my sugars were “within the range”, when I was ordered to do all the typical diabetes tests - my insulin and Haemoglobin A1c were through the roof. I had reversed my diabetes within 3 months of diet and supplements. All of the tests went back to normal and I had lost those 25 kgs. Went back to re-test, the doctor said again that I don’t need the insulin test blah blah. I said I had diabetes 3 months ago, he shut up and gave me a referral. The tests came back fine, and the doctor said IT WILL COME BACK BECAUSE DIETS DO NOT WORK. 😂🤡 I’ve been testing my insulin yearly ever since then. So far so good. 10 years later I’m still diabetes free in spite of their prognosis of “irreversible progressive disease”. They’re clueless clowns, drug dealers for the big pharma. The more pills they put you on the better, so why would they do the right testing and bother to give you the right diagnosis. Of course insulin test is a useless test for them lol. Insulin resistance is a serious condition, but yeah sure the test for it is useless 😂🤡🤡🤡🤡 clownworld.
Exdllent Video!
So if we get these tests and they came out not quite right what do we do?...what do we do for inflamation.??
What about test for heart health or blockages tests?
Fasting Insulin Level (if above 10 u have insulin resistance
Hemoglobin A1C (how you’re handling sugars & proteins last two months should be 5.0 or less. The closer to 5.0 the better
HOMA-IR (do u have metabolic flexibility. (IR-ins. Resistance) how quickly/well u can switch from burning sugar for fuel to burning fatty acids for fuel. Dimentia, diabetes-all a mitochondria dysfunction
IG-F1: Insulin growth test that shows how fast or slow you’re aging. There are ways you can change that. If you’re over 40 or 50 years old, and if your test is over 200 or 250, it increases your risk of developing cancer. If your IG-F1 is very low, you’re very unlikely to develop cancer. IG-F1 is a growth factor that stimulates cancer to grow.
HS CRP. Inflammation markers
Fibrinogen
Ferritin if you’re a woman (most Drs associate with iron levels, but it actually correlates very poorly to iron levels) Inflammation marker
Apo E 4 gene or 4G 30% people carry this Alzheimer’s gene. This is not sealing your fate, u can actively do something to prevent Alzheimers
MTHFR mutation determines if u can’t convert B12 & folic acid into it’s usable state
I need this
EXCELLENT
Gundry, My ferritin level was a 1, my doctor said it should be at least 20. what does my ferritin say about my condition? he said I have very low blood iron.
1.5x speed 👍🏻
😂😂😂😂 world of a difference. Can’t ever go back😂
My insulin fasting was 2.7 . Isn’t it low?
Better yet, order the blood tests yourself through places like health labs. Side step the doctors, most are trash.
Most doctors are trash ?
5:12 Whoah
Lol you're funny Dr Gundry 😀
I was the 300th like :D
My ferritin is very very low . My hemoglobin is normal . Any risks ?
Are you asking the clowns in the comment section or do you really think Dr. Gundry will respond ?
I have this and I am having endometriosis and lose more blood, that makes my ferritin levels low, is a sign of anaemia so I always supplement with iron. Plus I take tranexamic acid to reduce the bleeding and it helps.
@@michaelashley2855 I want Dr Gundry to do Vedio on this 🤣
@@elizadanu3272 my doctor ordered iron supplements but I’m not taking them . I increased my red meat to get more iron. I also drink lot of teas with a2 milk and monk fruit. Trying to cut the tea down
If you drink black or green tea you actually slow the absorption of the iron. Also, only diet won't help. At least this is what I observed in my case. Iron is natural anyway, is a metal so supliments won't harm unless you have some stomach issues, as it's a bit hard on stomach being in a pill form. My haemoglobin is fine also, only ferritin was low, I am keeping it under control now. My lowest was 6 and I was feeling dizzy all the time. I had 11 and 16 also, the last one after iron grew to 48. Raisins, apples, liver also has iron, not only the red meat. Iron is also easy absorbed with vitamin C. To complete for the blood you have to associate iron with B complex and copper. I was given liquid one after I gave birth and had haemorrhage and it restored my blood fast.
Why are doctors resistant to ordering these tests
Most likely they don’t know what it is, o its not the typical practices they do. Doctors are trained to give meds for the most part. Some of these test can be expensive and need a good medical coverage.
@@stilmotionpicture most blood and urine tests are very cheap. i know, since i pay for them privately.
@@stilmotionpicture expensive or insurance coverage is irrelevant to what they should order.
They don't like patients thinking for themselves
Because they are lazy
What about all these doctors who eat vegan and tell you to be vegan....No fish, no eggs, no dairy, no meat..........Dr. Michael klaper promotes vegan diet as he says people live longer..Its so confusing
🤓
