Longevity Baseline Checklist
Use this to organize the information that makes a first longevity visit more useful: context, measurements, labs, diagnostics, and the questions worth answering with a physician.
Health Context
- Current medications, supplements, allergies, and prior medication reactions.
- Major medical history, surgeries, hospitalizations, and family history patterns.
- Current clinician list, including primary care, specialists, and therapists.
- Recent symptoms or concerns you want interpreted in context.
Core Measurements
- Blood pressure trends, resting heart rate, and home measurement notes if available.
- Weight history, waist measurement, and meaningful body-composition changes.
- Sleep schedule, sleep quality, snoring or apnea history, and recovery patterns.
- Exercise pattern: strength training, aerobic work, mobility, and limiting symptoms.
Labs and Diagnostics to Discuss
- Cardiometabolic risk: lipids, glucose markers, blood pressure, and family risk.
- Inflammation, liver, kidney, blood count, thyroid, nutrient, and hormone context when appropriate.
- DEXA for body composition and bone density when a precise baseline would change decisions.
- VO2 max or graded exercise testing when fitness, performance, or cardiovascular reserve is a priority.
- Resting metabolic rate when nutrition planning needs a measured starting point.
Decision Points for the Visit
- What am I trying to prevent, improve, or monitor over the next 6-12 months?
- Which findings would change my training, nutrition, medication, or screening plan?
- What should be repeated over time, and at what interval?
- What should stay with my primary care team, and what needs deeper longevity-focused follow-up?
