I Love This Service for Tracking My Health | Inside Tracker | Dr. Layne Norton PhD

[@IsomacTea]

Happy to be living in Poland, where my family doc prescribes majority of these tests and I do my bloodwork every month. Every now and then I add some more exotic tests that I need to pay for, but overall all this stuff is free for anyone who is willing ro monitor their health.

[@antmanandthecod6073]

Nice to see how open and honest with his results he is

[@Dannyk-hy2on]

Thanks Layne, been reading your stuff for 20+ years now.

[@tugyorktown7899]

This is by far my favorite Video you've done, super informative. Looking this up now.

[@bradekegren1723]

I’d check out Barbell Medicine’s screening podcast if you want to save money, & not look for problems that aren’t there.

[@Bjorn_R]

While I agree with your point, a ton of problems will go under the the radar if we dont occasionally look. Just think of how many people die or get irreversible organ damage from preventable issues they discovered too late. I would prefer a false positive and a health scare over not knowing im sick. I found the podcast you mentioned, maybe I will change my mind after hearing what they have to say !

[@RolandMostoha]

Awesome content. Sacrificing exceptional test levels for LDL would be an absolute no-go for me, especially with the knowledge that I had to take the pills for life.

[@wallyrbc]

I suffer from health anxiety. Sounds like this level of testing would open up a huge can of worms, but sounds great if you’re a normal human being with your health!

[@lk_specter7861]

I would be interested in a video about your day Layne. I mean what you do to recover and also what you eat.

Hey layne can plz vblog this prep for nationals ,it would be amazing and a great help ❤

[@jamesodonoghue5818]

Is this for people who don't have health insurance? I get most of these tests done annually from my primary. Just curious.

[@abogadorosiles]

You should get them done every six months.

[@loganwolv3393]

No, because the free tests don't test for APOB, and if i recall correctly not even for C-Reactive protein. However they do test for magnesium wich for some reason this test dosen't have, unless i somehow missed it.

[@jamesodonoghue5818]

@@loganwolv3393 I get C-reactive protein automatically. I have to ask for APOB, but they are always covered.

Would it be a good practice to also plan your blood draw towards the end of a deload, if possible?

[@PSA78]

Actually pretty cool, going to a regular doctor usually ends with them mumbling something, and no point in asking them to write it down as you wouldn't be able to read it. 📝😆

I’m Australian and male we don’t do shit like this. If you’re breathing than that’s good, keep doing that.

Working out before a blood test. What do you advise? Data seems contradictory on if you should or if you do what time frame.

[@K4R3N]

Damn 2 divorced Layne. I'm one and done! My cortisol is probably negative now 😂 zero stress

[@loganwolv3393]

Hmm, idk who to trust more... Layne or the ranges because red is elevated/very elevated, clearly not modestly elevated.

[@jeroenvanbergen4330]

I assume there are randomised controlled trials backing up the usefulness of these tests in healthy adults?

[@eber143]

@@jeroenvanbergen4330 turns out there's an even better level of scientific evidence than human RCTs: money.

[@vincentpolaczuk4240]

Most of the biomarkers in this do have a great deal of research behind them, this will include RCTs.

[@eber143]

@@vincentpolaczuk4240 Yeah, that's not enough to justify a recommendation though. Is there any scientific evidence that people who use these services fare better than people who consult with doctors and have their tests done that way? That's what we're questioning, not the bio markers of the tests.

[@user-ii7xc1ry3x]

@@eber143 Many health and longevity specialists believe so, as these tests can help with the prevention and optimisation of more dire situations health-wise and in many countries it is quite the struggle to get any "tests" at all from a MD

[@jeroenvanbergen4330]

@@user-ii7xc1ry3x Great, please point us to the scientific data supporting this, preferably RCTs.

[@azdhan]

Super Interesting. Too bad they don’t have something similar in Canada. I would be the first to sign up if they did. FYI only, stopping resistance training 3-7 days prior to blood work can prevent a false positive of elevated liver enzymes. Stopping creatine supplementation for 7 days prior to blood work can also prevent a fase positive of kidney dysfunction. My hemoglobin is also on the lower end but not abnormal range. I was referred to a hemotologist who is doing blood draws every 3 months. He is scratching his head as the needle has not moved I eat meat, my B12 levels are normal. His theory was that inflammation may be causing my bone marrow to dial down red blood cell production. Yet, he refuses to run blood markers to gauge if inflammation is the cause, go figure lol! He also theorized that low Testosterone may be causing the issue as he had seen that in another patient. Sp he runs a testestorone test and it comes out normal. The guy either does not know WTF he is doing or just grasping at straws! No wonder people lose confidence in the health care system, doctors, and specialists given baf*ons like this 😡

[@exercisefornormalpeople6731]

Do you think the metabolic panel would be very different just having some creatine before the test?

[@lv1985aa]

Great video, Layne. Thanks for sharing your biomarkers and this useful service. From what I understand, serum iron fluctuates so much in the short term so ferritin and TIBC are better indicators of iron status. I also thought GGT was not influenced by resistance training.

[@carlmagnusostblad1419]

As long as it's not AG1

[@kozmo7]

Serious question, I always pass out when getting my blood taken and I have no idea how to stop it and its extremely debilitating

[@eber143]

You're really asking people on the Internet instead of just seeking the help of the professional who was taking your blood in the moment or advice from the doctor that asked for the exam in the first place? lol

[@sbsnate2312]

​@@eber143people could give valuable insight that might not be as easy to find. He should double check any advise tho.

[@aaronbailey23]

It’s called vasovagal and is not uncommon. Try elevating your feet during the blood draw if possible. I start several IVs per day as part of my job and this usually helps quite a bit.

[@joeysantoro4835]

I am clinically anxious and squeamish, and aside from exposure therapy or other sorta therapy, i just have to warn the doctor that I'm likely going to have a moderate panic attack in the seat. It's either that or I pass out. Sometimes it's not so bad, but it's just mental illness for me. Haha sigh... :/

I'd rather hear you talk if just a random diagnosis without any symptoms makes any sense. Like, how are these things calibrated, why would they matter for a person that is healthy and feels good?

[@R3YNZ]

​@@eber143So he gets paid to promote something he already uses and likes. Why not?

[@eber143]

​@@R3YNZ Because tracking health is not something you should do because someone on KZbin (no matter how qualified the youtuber) advertised a new company. That's consumer logic, not medicine logic. This just leads to a lot of excessive testing and obsessing about metrics. Exams are important, but if the process is not being preceded by a consultation with a doctor that can understand your profile and do a personalized exam prescription based on that, then something is wrong.

[@BrendanCBreen]

[@jeremiahromagnoli7389]

93 mg/dl fasting and 5.3% A1C are not remotely prediabetic. Any PCP would be thrilled to have these numbers in such a robustly built 40 yr old man

[@tuckstar]

Layne, the 2.1 insulin is great. The optimal scale for that isn't optimal at all. Mine is 1.9 and I eat between 250 and 400g carbs per day. My hba1c while cutting is 4.9, not cutting about 5.2. I'd be very interested to see what your hba1c would be after 3 months of cutting all seed oils but keeping calories etc all the same.

[@greghill158]

Wow, that tech is *bad* at drawing blood. Those vials were all nearly empty and she was constantly moving the needle around trying to find the vein. Did she even get enough to test? Usually they need at least half the vial, depending on the labs being done. I've had draws like that. You're gonna have a bruise later. It brought back bad memories watching it.

[@soulsearch1234]

You weren't there. Person who was drawn said it was a good draw. Blood was drawn. Tests were resulted. It was a great draw.. Let her be great.

I knew Norton was gonna get sh*t for this in the comments section 🤣 Taking sponsors is fine guys, especially when they are within the scope of the channel's theme, _especially_ when the content creator _does_ use said service, meaning he believes in its usefulness. If we don't like or agree with it, we can just ignore it and move on. We do have the right to not see eye to eye on everything. It's simple. But let's not get entitled and think content creators have to provide us with entertainment and/or education for free at all times and that they can't monetise their content in any way.

[@jeroenvanbergen4330]

The problem isn't so much taking sponsors, it's the fact that the content of this video flies in the face of everything Norton stands for.
