The 3 Biomarkers That Tell the Truth About Your Health
When you get your blood drawn, your lab report will list dozens of numbers.
But not all of them matter equally. Dr. Gills recommends focusing on 3 key biomarkers— Omega-3 Index, Vitamin D, and Homocysteine — because research shows they have the biggest impact on your heart, brain, and long-term health.
These are numbers you can ask your physician to test for, or use at-home services designed to measure them. Either way, it’s critical to know where you stand.

Every 6 months — if you’re adjusting diet or supplements and want to track progress faster.
What To Do Next
1
Schedule your next appointment with your physician, or use an at-home lab testing service.
2
Confirm that these 3 biomarkers are included on your lab order.
