Dr. Tucker's Supplement Advice
WALGREENS VS CVS VITAMINS
| |
Both of those brand supplements disappoint me. They're made to sit on the shelf for years and not go bad. From my knowledge standpoint I won’t take Walgreens or CVS supplements or recommend those brands to my patients. My vetting process is to start with a quality supplement, I take it myself first, then I start using it in my practice. I know a product is good if patients continue to purchase these on their own after the first bottle is done because they notice a difference when they stop taking it.
My message: Why spend the money in those stores when you can get quality supplements at FullScript online?

What's cutting edge self-healthcare?
BIOHACKING!
| |
I am a big fan of off-the-shelf testing like ChooseHealth, a finger blood stick that measures inflammation, blood sugar and cardiovascular health, or JinFiniti that measures NAD levels, along with doing a gut microbiome stool test (Standard Process).
People are looking for doctors that know how to do this or know how to use testing results (blood, genetics, scans, and other testing) to formulate a program of care and longevity. I swear, most doctors are just not reading your results. They do not have the time it takes to put it all together. You can do any or all these tests every quarter or twice a year at home on-your-own and get way ahead on your longevity program.

Important LAB TESTS to ask your medical doctor to give to you | |
A Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP)
This is standard and basic. It measures 14 things in your blood like glucose, calcium, sodium, potassium, lipids, etc. It’s usually done during an annual physical. However, it may not be comprehensive enough if you are dealing with a condition like chronic fatigue, inability to lose weight, muscle/joint aches and pains, or if you are truly trying to create longevity and optimal health.
| |
The following tests are biohacking markers I can use to help you towards your optimal health:
- Ferritin
- Vitamin D3
- GGT
- Cortisol
- Thyroid tests: TSH, Free T3, Free T4, TPOAb Antibodies
- HbA1C
- C-Reactive Protein (CRP)
- Insulin
- Heart risk: NMR/VAP panel, Lp(a), ApoLip(b), Oxidize Homocysteine, Fibrinogen, Hs-CRP
- Random microalbuminuria
- Diabetic antibodies: GAD-65, Insulin Ab, Islet Cell antibodies, Tyrosine phosphatase (IA-2), Zinc transport
- 5 Tests for Hashimoto’s disease: Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), Free liothyronine (T3) Free thyroxine (T4), Thyroid peroxidase antibodies (TPOAb), Thyroglobulin antibodies (TGAb)
|
I’m advocating for you to do the CMP test on your annual physical through your primary care physician, but do the at home tests (ChooseHealth, JinFiniti, and a stool test by Standard Process) on a quarterly or twice a year basis. Let’s see if your exercise, diet, and lifestyle choices are on the right track. Ordering ChooseHealth, JinFiniti and a stool sample test online is a lot less expensive and easier than going to a lab and having your blood drawn.
Here’s what a ChooseHealth test kit can measure and track:
|
- Cardiovascular Health (Total Cholesterol : HDL Ratio)
- Insulin Resistance (Trigylcerides : HDL Ratio)
- Average Blood Sugar (hbA1c)
- Body Composition and Visceral Fat (Waist : Heigh Ratio)
- Oxidative Stress (GGT)
- Inflammation (hs-CRP)
- Vitamin D (25-OH vitamin D)
- Testosterone (Total)
- Thyroid (TSH)
