RE: Most important blood tests which most doctors neglect
excellent post.
- Vitamin D is a big one. most people need to be above 30 ng/ml. studies show that 60 ng/ml can reduce chance of cancer by 83%

another that's huge is testosterone for men. one of my friends wrote the book on how the healthy range of testosterone in men has declined 30% in 30 years which leads to all kinds of health problems: http://amzn.to/2nOdDFr
gut health is also pretty huge. Dr. Purlmutter goes into how gut bacteria is responsible for so much more than we realize and the types of bacteria we're feeding with westernized diets is leading to diabetes and neurological disorders which is being referred to as type 3 diabetes: http://amzn.to/2shxGQZ
keep up the great content!
Agreed. Testosterone and DHT ratio is very important.
I agree with gut health I read all of Dr. Perlmutter's books. Unfortunately that's not an easy blood test.
true it isn't, and probably one of the main reasons is the importance of the gut microbiom hasn't been the focus of modern medicine. for instance, in order to get a FMT transplant in the US, isn't really approved for much because of the FDA. what gets the most attention, dollars, and research sadly is pharmaceuticals and not more natural means which are arguably more effective as your post explains.
