Does anyone else feel dumb reading the bloodwork threads

Genuine question. I read the bloodwork-metrics category for an hour last night and my eyes glazed over at 'allele-corrected Lp(a) in nmol/L.' Is this stuff learnable or should I just pay a clinician?

It's learnable. Start with the five numbers that actually matter (ApoB, HbA1c, fasting insulin, Lp(a), hsCRP) and ignore the rest for 6 months. Build from there.

Nobody was born understanding this. I read Attia's outlive cover to cover before I could follow the threads here. Worth the investment.
