I'm a cardiologist. After 40, stop guessing about your health. These numbers tell you whether you're building a long, vibrant life — or quietly declining without knowing it.

I run these on myself. I run them on every patient I care about. Most are cheap bloodwork. All are available now. And together, they paint a picture no standard annual physical will ever give you. Print this. Bring it to your next appointment. Your 60-year-old self will thank you.

𝗙𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝘂𝗹𝗶𝗻
Target: below 5 μIU/mL. Ideal: 3-4.
This is the 10-year warning bell your standard panel completely misses. Your glucose and A1c can look "normal" for a decade while your pancreas is working overtime to keep them there. Fasting insulin catches insulin resistance 5-10 years before your A1c moves. By the time A1c rises, the damage is already extensive.

𝗛𝗢𝗠𝗔-𝗜𝗥
Target: below 1.0.
Calculated from fasting insulin and fasting glucose. The single best measure of insulin sensitivity. Above 1.0 and your metabolism is already under strain. Above 2.5 and you're insulin resistant — even if every other number looks fine.

𝗛𝗯𝗔𝟭𝗰
Target: below 5.4%.
Not below 5.7% — that's the threshold where medicine calls you "prediabetic." By then you've been metabolically compromised for years. Optimal is below 5.4%. Blood sugar mastery is longevity mastery.

𝗧𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗹𝘆𝗰𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗱𝗲 : 𝗛𝗗𝗟 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼
Target: below 2. Ideal: below 1.
Your metabolic health crystal ball. This ratio predicts insulin resistance, cardiovascular risk, and metabolic syndrome better than any single lipid number alone. A ratio above 3.5 is a red flag regardless of what your total cholesterol says.

𝗔𝗽𝗼𝗕
Target: below 80 mg/dL for moderate risk. Below 60 for high risk.
I've written about this extensively. ApoB counts every atherogenic particle hitting your artery walls. A 2024 analysis found 54% of patients had dangerous levels that standard LDL testing completely missed. If you only know your LDL, you're driving with one eye closed.

𝗟𝗽(𝗮)
Test once in your lifetime.
100% genetic. 1 in 5 Americans are elevated. Triples heart attack risk independently of everything else on this list. Diet and exercise cannot lower it. The 2026 ACC/AHA guidelines now recommend everyone be tested. Most never have been.

𝗵𝘀-𝗖𝗥𝗣
Target: below 1.0 mg/L.
You can have perfect cholesterol and inflamed arteries silently preparing to rupture. hs-CRP measures the fire behind the plaque. The JUPITER trial proved that finding and treating inflammation saves lives — even when lipids look fine. If this number is elevated, your mouth, your gut, your metabolic health, and your visceral fat are the first places to investigate.

𝗩𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗻 𝗗
Target: 50-80 ng/mL.
Not the bare minimum of 30 your doctor accepts. Suboptimal vitamin D is linked to higher inflammation, weaker immunity, increased cardiovascular events, worse mood, and poorer outcomes across nearly every disease I treat. Supplement D3 with K2 — without K2, calcium deposits in your arteries instead of your bones.

𝗧𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗼𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗲 (𝗧𝗼𝘁𝗮𝗹 + 𝗙𝗿𝗲𝗲)
Men: optimal range 600-1000+ ng/dL total.
Declining testosterone is an independent predictor of cardiovascular death in men. It's tied to insulin resistance, arterial stiffness, visceral fat accumulation, and systemic inflammation. DHEA-S drops 10-20% every decade after 30. Tracking these isn't about vanity — it's evaluating your body's systemic resilience.

𝗕𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲
Target: below 120/80. Aim closer to 110/70.
Every point above optimal is cumulative arterial damage. Buy a home cuff. Measure morning and evening, seated quietly for five minutes, arm at heart level. White-coat readings in the office miss what's really happening. The smartest $40 investment in cardiac self-care.

𝗩𝗢𝟮 𝗠𝗮𝘅
Men over 40: above 40 mL/kg/min. Women over 40: above 35.
Cardiorespiratory fitness is the single strongest predictor of all-cause mortality — stronger than smoking, diabetes, or heart disease as individual risk factors. A landmark study in JAMA found that extreme fitness was associated with the lowest mortality with no upper limit of benefit. You can estimate VO2 max with a timed mile, a rower test, or a wearable. Get faster every year.

𝗡𝘂𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝗳 𝗠𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀
Target: as few as possible.
Every medication you're on should be earning its place. I just wrote about five commonly prescribed drugs that do more harm than good with long-term use. Bring your full medication list to every appointment. Ask: "Do I still need this?" Deprescribing is one of the most powerful and underused tools in medicine.
ꟷꟷꟷ

Thirteen numbers. Most available through cheap bloodwork and simple tests. Get them once or twice a year. Here's what I want you to understand: these numbers don't just tell you where you are. They tell you where you're heading. A fasting insulin of 8 today becomes diabetes in five years. An ApoB of 120 today becomes a heart attack in ten. An hs-CRP of 3 today means your arteries are inflamed right now — regardless of how healthy you feel. The standard annual physical checks a fraction of these. It was designed to find disease that's already there. This panel finds the disease that's coming — years before it arrives.

What gets measured gets improved. Optimize with the foundation I write about every week on this platform:
Zone 2 cardio plus resistance training 3-4 times per week. High-protein whole-food nutrition. Sleep 7-9 hours — non-negotiable. Morning sunlight. Stress management. And the targeted supplements I've covered in detail — creatine, magnesium, CoQ10, D3+K2, glycine, omega-3, psyllium husk.
The breakthroughs coming in the next decade — gene editing for cholesterol, cellular reprogramming, senolytics that clear senescent "zombie" cells driving inflammation and aging, GLP-1 drugs rewriting metabolic medicine — will be most powerful for people who've already built the metabolic foundation to receive them.

The future of medicine is personalized. But it starts with knowing your numbers today. Print this list. Book the bloodwork. Own the data. Prevention isn't passive. It's the most aggressive thing you can do for the decades ahead.

I'm 19 years old.

At 16 I sold my unblocked gaming website for $100k.

At 18 I sold Cal AI while at $40M ARR.

Now, my co just hit $300K MRR a month after launch.

The most important lesson I've learned to be successful in consumer is to dumb everything down.

1) Demonstrate the value of your product in 3 seconds or less in any advertising material.

2) Write messaging as if you are talking to a 3rd grader.

3) Make buttons so obvious that you can't get lost.

The is the key concept that makes apps viral and also high converting.

There are levels of wealth:

💰 "F*** you" money
📧 "I don't check my email" money
🏋 "I go to the gym whenever I want" money

I checked my bank account — I don't have the first one.

But I never check my email. And I just crushed a 1-hour bench session at 8 PM on a Sunday.

My secret? 100 AI agents working for me around the clock — while I sleep, eat, and lift.

You don't need wealth to buy back your time anymore. You need AI.

We honor the memory of Charlie Kirk with a workout put together by fitness influencer Hayley Savannah Custer of Georgia. We at BawsHuman believe in the physical well-being of everyone, and it starts from what we eat, to our daily physical activity habits, what Charlie describes America as having a “systemic cultural health problem.” The work out includes burpees, dumbbell thrusters, push ups, etc., all accessible exercises done with 31 reps each which signifies his age. https://t.co/Gb0rW8agt2 #fitness #exercise #workout #charliekirk

Good marketing is the transfer of enthusiasm, as @jasonfried says. But that transfer isn't a one-off. If you want to build momentum, you have to keep transferring.

[Jonathan Tsai @jontsai]

DHH is right — competence with computers and competence with your body aren’t opposites.
They compound.

At @BawsHuman, we believe leveling up your health and fitness is just as important as leveling up your code. Both take consistent reps, smart tools, and a supportive community.

Let’s retire the “nerd vs. jock” meme for good.

Still hoopin’ at 40.

Notes from today’s run:
“Won 2 games. Got carried. Set screens, grabbed boards, locked up my man and held him scoreless… but man, chasing the young bucks is no joke anymore.”

And yet—here I am. Still playing the game I love, when a lot of guys my age have already hung up their shoes.

The secret?
BawsHuman.

By connecting everyday athletes like me to world-class experts—Olympic trainers, exercise scientists, and coaches like Coach B and Nicholas Lopez Jr—I’ve rebuilt my body, erased my knee pain, and built what feels like bulletproof joints.

Now, other players are shocked when they find out I’m 40. They guess late 20s or early 30s. That’s the power of training smarter, not just harder.

BawsHuman is democratizing elite fitness so anyone—no matter your age, location, or starting point—can level up your game, your body, and your life.

Your prime years aren’t behind you. You just need the right team in your corner.

Humanity is full of stories of people who rise to the top only after working insanely hard, like animals, but also with creativity and ingenuity.

Tom Zhu is a perfect example of a BawsHuman.

While Elon Musk is building rockets to Mars to establish humanity as an interplanetary species, BawsHuman is preparing the first humans who will go there.
