What this is
The baseline. Arguably a bigger ROI than many exotic biohacker tests. Trends over years matter more than absolute values. Store results in a structured way (paper trail) — longitudinal tracking detects subtle shifts.
Mechanism
Complete blood count (hemoglobin, WBC, platelets, indices) + comprehensive metabolic panel (electrolytes, kidney function, liver enzymes, glucose, albumin); foundational screen for hematologic disorders, kidney/liver function, metabolic status
Dose & route
1x/year minimum; more often if issues
