What blood tests beyond the usual do you recommend for a 56 year old man and a 62 year old woman? I know to ask for Vit D. I think you mentioned tests that were better than T3 or T4 for the thyroid. And I heard there was a better test than C-Reactive Protein for inflammation, but do not recall what it is.
Thank you.
Hello,
I would suggest Vitamin D, insulin, ferritin, and the C-reactive protein.
