Today I want to cover a few key points about yearly checkups.

If you have a pre-existing problem with the thyroid, for example, or maybe you have an autoimmune disease, you’re probably going to be doing advanced thyroid testing or liver testing. If you have diabetes, you might have the A1C test.

If you’re a prediabetic or a diabetic, you may want to get the HOMA-IR test. HOMA-IR is a test to determine if you have insulin resistance or not. Ideally, it would be great to get the HOMA-IR test before you start keto to see where you’re at, and then get the same test afterward to see your improvement. But, if you’ve already started keto and intermittent fasting and you’re doing great, you don’t really need to get the HOMA-IR test.

A few tests you may want to consider getting at your yearly checkup:
1. Omega 3/6 ratio (you can do this at home with a kit)
2. CBC (complete blood count)
3. Basic metabolic panel
4. CAC (coronary artery calcium scoring)
5. Vitamin D test

If you have high cholesterol, a good test to get may be the advanced lipid test. This is where they look at the size of the particles, and they look deeper at the types of lipoproteins that you have.

when you single handedly saving humanity, cant imagine my life without knowing about dr berg's channe, thanks doc you are a true treasure

The calcium score usually increases each year. It is a good one-time test to identify cardiovascular risk. This test alerted me to take immediate action: a bypass and valve replacement. My score was and still is over 7, 000! I was doing 3 miles a day without symptoms when I got this score. And it's very inexpensive.

Dr.Berg, I see that you get this a lot but I wanted to genuinely tell you that you have changed my life in every positive way. Thanks to you and learning about healthy keto I have lost 47 pounds in a little less than six months after being overweight my entire 41 years of my life. Thank you from the bottom of my heart you are a selfless and caring man thank you for the good work you do

Doc, invaluable information. However, since many people will be using your video for their research, I'd like to add that a PSA test should also be included in those annual visits. Thanx.

[vidatwynham]

Had the CAC done when I turned 50 and so glad I did!! After years of high Cholesterol tests in my 20’s and not eating much meat I scored “0”!!! Yeah, I’m confused but never took the statins just ate healthy. ❤️

[kasey]

I'm 63 year old woman. Just had my CAC score...I'm 0!!! So grateful

If your doctor doesn't know what HOMA-IR is, you can ask for a fasting blood glucose and insulin test. Then take the test results and plug them into the HOMA-IR formula. You can find the formula and the desired limits on the web.

[DrCaseyPeavler]

Great start, I would also look at underlying drivers of disease, so inflammatory markers, cytokines, and markers of oxidative stress. Don’t you love those advanced lipid tests? So insightful. Hey man an alternative to CAC to avoid radiation would be CIMT which is an ultrasound of your carotids looking for Plaques. Another good test to look at is a functional vascular test like an Endothelix, which is basically an in office automated brachial artery tourniquet test.

Dr Berg, please would you consider making a series of videos on what you would do if long term prescription medication became suddenly unavailable.

For example: thyroxine, asthma inhalers, antihypertensives. It really would ease a lot of worry about the future right now.

There is now a documented case already in UK where someone has been denied essential surgery that they had waited a year for because she refused to have a certain test done which is very well documented as being useless.

I have already done yearly test, I will hear my results soon from the doctor. Thank you dr Berg for the reminding! 👌

[SandyMMMM]

Six months ago, I persuaded my brother to do keto diet. He lost 90lb as of yesterday, which is 30% of his weight before keto. His blood sugar and blood pressure are all back to normal. Thank you!

[CarbageMan]

WRT CAC, if you get them done every couple years, what you're looking for is that it does not go up. It probably won't go down. Source: Ivor Cummins, Dr Jeffry Gerber, "Eat Rich, Live Long."

How do you protect your from the ionizing radiation from the CAC test?

[juanpedrodelacruz]

I have semi-annual tests.
From Blood, blood sugar, to heart, liver and kidney.
Thankfully, healthcare and HMOs in my country is not that expensive compared to the US.

2:55 lol the doctor that day looked me cold in the eyes and told me it was gonna be used for bioplasma and walked away🤦🏿‍♂️😭... Also, they got an ultra goofball/overly-friendly doctor to take my blood so I've been suspicious about that injection ever since. Also, When I walked in the hospital the doctors tried to get me on a big stack of pills(glad I turnt that down was prolly to make me more easy to experiment on) one of the doctors also tried to get me to agree to getting a spinal injection!!😨(glad I turnt that down as well) basically they all knew why I was in there, they even probed my hips on the cure(colloidal elements), but yeah everyone in that joint was paid off and taylor which= me getting violated

[chrispaulus]

My doctor had me test for the coronary calcium score because my brother, mother and father had nine stents between them. Scored 10! Goodbye statins!

[pia]

Yep, had to tell my doc about the HOMA test, . My score was perfect even not on Keto diet, more on conscious carbs.

[DionneJourney]
