Labs Masterclass Quiz
Quiz
Which marker is a once-in-a-lifetime test?
Pick the genetically-determined, stable-for-life marker from the list.
Lp(a) is ~90% heritable and stable from early childhood onward. A single test gives you the answer for life. ApoB, hsCRP, and HbA1c all fluctuate with diet, inflammation, and therapy — they merit annual tracking.
Quiz
Longevity-optimal fasting glucose is…
Not the lab's 'normal' range — the outcome-data one.
Under 90 mg/dL is the longevity-optimal range. 90–99 is 'normal' on a lab report but already associated with increased cardiovascular risk. 100–125 is pre-diabetes. ≥126 is diabetes.
Quiz
Which inflammation marker predicts dementia risk?
An amino-acid intermediate that accumulates with methylation problems.
Elevated homocysteine predicts both cardiovascular events and dementia risk. Usually responds well to B12 + methylfolate + B6 supplementation. Target under 8 μmol/L.
Quiz
Which is NOT worth spending on today?
Based on evidence + outcome data.
IgG food sensitivity panels have no validated outcome data and frequently mislead users into unnecessary diet restrictions. Epigenetic clocks, Galleri, and core lipid markers all have real evidence bases and proven interpretive value.
