80% of InsideTracker members realize they have at least one suboptimal marker on their first test. These are some of the most common deficiencies we see at the population level: 1. Vitamin D: Deficiency can lead to increased risk of cardiovascular disease, cognitive impairment in older adults, cancer, severe asthma in children, and stress fractures. Tip: Supplementation is a simple and effective way to maintain optimal levels. 2. Calcium: Both men and women require more calcium as we age to help prevent osteoporosis. Tip: Pair a calcium supplement with vitamin D for better absorption. 3. Vitamin B12: Vital for nerve function and the production of DNA and red blood cells. Deficiency can lead to anemia and neurological issues. Tip: B12 primarily comes from animal products, and supplementation may be necessary, especially for older adults or those with absorption issues. Getting a blood test is the best way to know if your current diet and supplements are working for your body. Taking a data-driven, personalized approach is the best way to find out exactly where your levels stand, and start improving them.

65% of women and 77% of men had elevated LDL cholesterol levels on their first test with InsideTracker. Most people know LDL cholesterol as the "bad" cholesterol. High LDL levels can contribute to the buildup of plaque in the arteries, which increases your risk of heart attacks and strokes. Keeping your LDL levels in a healthy range is key for longevity. While many people are quick to start eliminating things from their diet that they love (like burgers or sweet treats) to help lower their cholesterol, this isn't the only solution. If your blood tests show high levels of LDL, these three strategies are things you can add to your routine to help improve them! It's important to keep in mind that every body reacts differently to certain lifestyle habits. Taking a personalized approach is key. When you test your levels with InsideTracker, you get an analysis of nearly 50 biomarkers that affect not only your heart health, but 10 areas of your healthspan. More importantly, you get a personalized action plan based on your data to improve your health through supplements, nutrition, exercise, and lifestyle adjustments.

What advice would you give to your younger self? ⬇️

Are you getting the most out of your sauna sessions? Sauna bathing has been shown to offer some pretty impressive benefits— like boosting heart health, reducing inflammation, and improving metabolic markers. To reap the health benefits of sauna bathing, we recommend choosing a temperature between 175-195F (80-90C) with 10-20% humidity for 30-minute sauna sessions at least three times per week. For the best results, follow each session with a 2-minute cool-down in room temperature water. Check out our full article for more tips to maximize your sauna use: https://hubs.li/Q02zZy7H0

Raise your hand if you struggle with sleep 🙋♀️ If so, you're certainly not alone— In fact, according to the National Sleep Foundation, over 35% of US adults report sleeping less than the recommended 7 hours per night. Taking a look inside can help you get to the root cause of why you may be struggling to fall and stay asleep. 3 of the markers that could be impacting your sleep include: Vitamin D: A deficiency in vitamin D is linked to suboptimal sleep. Optimizing your vitamin D levels can improve sleep quality by helping you fall asleep faster and increasing the time you spend asleep. Cortisol: Your levels naturally fluctuate throughout the day, peaking in the morning, and declining at night as your body relaxes in preparation for sleep. High levels of stress before bed can cause cortisol levels to remain elevated, making falling and staying asleep more challenging. Magnesium: Low magnesium levels can negatively impact sleep quality. Magnesium supplementation can help increase the time you spend in deep sleep, and your total time asleep. Check out the full article to learn more. https://hubs.li/Q02zL5bj0
