Blood Test 1

8 August 2023

Inspired by Bryan Johnson publishing his health data, I will post my blood test results here to keep myself accountable to my health. This test was taken before a big change in diet and exercise. If you know a lot about blood tests and see something that concerns you, please let me know.
