In this video, i’m going to talk a little bit about taking control of your health. In particular with reference to blood scores. People nowadays been told they’ve got deficiencies or they’re not feeling 100% they go to the doctor, they get a blood tests and say ‘oh you’re normal’ etc. But they don’t really understand what ‘normal’ means. And for the sake of practicality, a lot of these baselines, these normal values are gathered from large scale research data, and you can be between, if we take a scale of 1 to 100. If you’re at 5 to 95, you’re okay. But if you’re on the peripheries, there’s a problem. And the reality is when we’re talking about hormones, or vitamin levels, etc. It’s what’s normal for you. And it’s something that we practice here in the clinic, we don’t deliver this service but it’s something that I go out of the clinic to do. And that is using a company called Medichecks and there’s lots of other variations there’s to actually get a routine blood test done once a year, which tests for a number of markers, vitamins, hormones, red blood cells, inflammation, etc. kidney, liver, heart, etc function, so you can get a ‘How am I doing right now?’ I’m a healthy person or a younger person and these are my scores. So I can monitor over the course of the years, how does my, do my hormone levels, do my vitamin mineral levels, etc change over a period of time. And it’s about being healthy rather than focusing on a more disease avoidance approach. And if we take the example of thyroid hormone, for example, because that’s something that affects a lot of people, the metabolism, lethargy, all those sorts of things, can’t lose weight, etc, etc. You could be let’s say for argument’s sake, let’s call it 70 out of 100, your thyroid hormone, and that’s your normal. And all of a sudden, for some reason, we don’t know why. Maybe it’s you dropped down to 35. Both of those are within the normal limits. So if you happen to go and get your scan or your blood test done when you’re at 35, everything’s normal, there’s no explanation. I guess you’re just feeling tired. But actually, if you explore it more and you have that chronological data, you can see that ‘Wait a second, I was 70. And now I’m 35. I’ve got half the level of circulating hormone in my system’ and be mindful i’m simplifying this a little bit. That’s where the problem is. So what can I do to stimulate my thyroid? Now it’s something that I’ve had personally, my thyroid gland was a little bit lower. And one of the great things you can do is physical exercise – cardiovascular, and going to the gym, those sorts of things can bump it up. I did that over a year, thyroid level came back up to within normal limits, so it’s a massive important factor in taking control of your own health and it’s something that we don’t do enough nowadays. That brings me to the next point, which is things like intolerances. There are a lot of people that have all these sorts of different intolerances, dairy, gluten, etc, etc. So people being very picky with the diets. And I don’t mean that in a bad way. It’s just a fact ‘Won’t eat this, won’t eat that’ and we’ve recently done a video on osteoporosis and bone density development and one of the big things is people are avoiding dairy as they get older, a lot, lot more. And that’s resulting in calcium deficiencies. So if you’re not staying on top of these things, and measuring your blood markers once a year, nothing too arduous. If you’re not staying on top of these things, little things like calcium inefficiencies can creep in over a slow period of time.
