New Years resolutions

New Years Resolutions.

 

Now that 2024 is over, maybe you have made some New Years resolutions.

As my favorite show in the 1970s would open, We have the technology.. . (We can get)  better, stronger, faster...

Maybe this is the year,  you are  going to get the colonoscopy you have been putting off. Or get the dexa scan to look at your bones or a fibroscan to look at your liver. Or get a calcium score to look at your heart. Or maybe you want to lose twenty or more pounds. 

Here are some of my recommendations

35 or older-get your hgba1c or fasting insulin levels to see if you are prediabetic or have insulin resistance.

40 or older get the calcium score

45 or older get the colonoscopy

60 or older get the dexa scan to look at your bones.
