PREVENTIVE TESTING IS THE MOST POWERFUL TOOL YOU HAVE FOR HEALTHY LONGEVITY: HERE IS THE LIST
If longevity is the goal, prevention is the key.
Medicine no longer has to be SICK medicine—waiting until symptoms appear or disease is advanced.
Preventive testing is one of the strongest tools in our arsenal for living longer and better.
Preventive testing helps us identify risks early (sometimes decades early).
Types of Preventive Testing
- Standard Medical Screenings
- Annual physical and screenings.
- Standard Medical Screenings
- Annual physical and screenings.
At 40-45 years old experts recommend including a colon cancer screening, dermatology skin check, mammogram for females, and testicular/prostate exam for males.
Optional Advanced Integrative and Functional Medicine Tests
Here are some of the most advanced functional medicine tests that go beyond standard physicals and labs.
ADVANCED FUNCTIONAL PANELS FOR ROOT- CAUSE
The microbiome is increasingly understood to be central to immune health, metabolic balance, and more.
GI-MAP® Comprehensive Gut Panel – A comprehensive DNA sequencing stool test that profiles beneficial and pathogenic bacteria, parasites, inflammation, and immune response in the gut microbiome.
Organic Acids Test (OAT) – A urine test that measures dozens of metabolites related to mitochondrial function, detox pathways, neurotransmitter metabolism, oxidative stress, and mold and mycotoxins.
DUTCH Complete Hormone Metabolite Panel – Combines urine/saliva to assess cortisol rhythm, sex hormones, and adrenal function.
NutrEval® (Nutrient & Metabolite Profile) – Blood/urine testing for vitamins, minerals, amino acids, fatty acids, toxins, and oxidative stress.
COMPREHENSIVE FUNCTIONAL TESTING PLATFORMS
Function Health (Function) Membership Platform – Gives access to 100+ advanced lab tests via blood and urine, combined with AI analysis.
It includes longitudinal tracking and personalized interpretation.
Viome – Focuses on gut microbiome analysis through stool (and sometimes saliva/urine) to evaluate your microbiome and how it impacts your immunity, metabolism, and inflammation.
MULTI-CANCER EARLY DETECTION TESTS (MCED)
Galleri® is a blood-based multi-cancer early detection test that detects tiny DNA fragments shed into the bloodstream by cancer cells. Galleri can screen for 50+ cancer types before symptoms appear, Galleri can often predict the probable tissue or organ source of a cancer signal, which can speed up targeted diagnostic follow-up
This type of testing falls under liquid biopsies, which are minimally invasive blood tests that detect cancer-related molecules.
CancerGuard™ A blood-based test that screens for 50+ types of cancer before symptoms appear, including hard-to-detect cancers. This test looks at DNA and protein signals. It does not provide tissue origin prediction, meaning a positive result doesn’t directly indicate where a cancer might be located.
These preventive tests can be transformative in your personalized health management
