@RohunJauhar Unfortunately no blood test can tell you this.

Optimal diet has a ton of components that go into it. Blood sugar, inflammation, vitamin & nutrient content, body temp, RHR.

You can test for markers for all of these, but then you have to tweak and adjust…

@RohunJauhar Best starting point IMO is getting a continuous glucose monitor from a company like @Levels so you can see what your diet is doing to your blood sugar.

Very common blind spot for most people and has a huge ROI if you learn how your body responds to different foods in that way.

@RohunJauhar @Levels I’d also consider getting one of the pricier @WellnessFX panels to see where you’re deficient for vitamins / minerals, then adjust your diet & supplements accordingly.

Don’t worry about cholesterol, sex hormones, inflammation markers, etc until all other stuff is in line

@RohunJauhar @Levels @WellnessFX Oh and find a place where you can do a DEXA scan or an NBody for an accurate Body Fat % reading.

Check it every 2-4 weeks and optimize around getting that down to a reasonable target (12-15% personally, definitely below 18%), that will address a ton of other things

@RohunJauhar @Levels @WellnessFX If you wanna throw a bunch on your plate at once you could also get an @ouraring and track how different dinners affect your sleep RHR and HRV. That will tell you a ton about how your body responds to different foods.

@RohunJauhar @Levels @WellnessFX @ouraring Oh I’d get your water tested, indoor air tested, and audit anything you put on your body too.

Those are two really common areas most people are harming themselves that often get overlooked.

@RohunJauhar @Levels @WellnessFX @ouraring Eh you don’t have to actually test your air and water, just get a high end air purifier (I like the TP04) and a Berkey Water Filter or better.

Or just don’t drink tap water and get spring water (mountain valley is good I think)
