Physiology Friday: [Blood Work] High Performance Blood Chemistry w/ Dan Garner, Anders Varner, and Doug Larson

In today's episode of Barbell Shrugged Dan Garner dives into how you can start to analyze your yearly bloodwork for performance.

Standard blood tests can be ordered around the globe, in every country, and are the gold standard for understanding basic health.

The normal reference ranges, however, are not giving you the answers you are looking for when it come to optimizing your health and performance.

In this episode you will learn:

  • What's the mindset/philosophy of looking at bloodwork for performance if it's classically a health screen?

  • Generally speaking, energy is what every performer needs regardless of their pursuit. How can one look at bloodwork to improve their energy levels?

  • Electrolytes come on every panel, can these be used to look at hydration and performance?

  • You've talked a bunch about the immune system in past podcasts so I'm wondering what a basic blood panel can tell us about the current state of our immunity?

  • What general recommendations do you have in terms of preparation so when someone gets their blood draw they can ensure it's accurate?
