4. Important medical tests you may not know about


Listen Later

Do you know if you're harboring silent inflammation?  An easily available blood test will tell you.

In this episode, Dr. Gordon and I discuss a few of our favorite and unusual medical tests, including how to predict longevity from a measure of grip strength and a special test of living blood cells that shows how well a patient can resist cancer growth. 

  • Why the health of your smallest blood vessels dictates your overall health and longevity picture, and how to measure this. 

  • How your "natural killer cells" are related to cancer, and the special blood test that can measure the fitness of these cells. 

  • Why medicinal mushrooms enhance health.


And much more.
