When to get blood work done?

Andrew Huberman recommends checking hormone levels at key life stages to establish baselines and aid in health monitoring. Generally, he suggests:

• Teens (after puberty) for an initial baseline
• Mid-20s for comparison with teen years
• Age 30 for a check-up
• Annually after age 40

Throughout, the emphasis is on monitoring various hormone levels to ensure they are within a healthy range and tracking changes over time. This approach helps in understanding the health status beyond just hormone levels by including other health markers like cholesterol and liver enzymes 1.

Additionally, for more frequent testing contexts like athletes or specific health conditions, blood tests can be more regular such as quarterly or semiannually, depending on the specific health markers being observed 2.
