Why Bakersfield Residents Are Upgrading Their Labs
Many individuals in California are turning to preventative testing for three main reasons:
- Find Answers Standard bloodwork can miss issues like thyroid, hormone, or autoimmune problems.
- Longevity Optimization: You cannot optimize what you do not measure. Function tracks APOB, Insulin, and Cortisol to measure aging.
- Family History: Early detection of cancer signals or heart disease risk factors is possible.
Bakersfield’s lifestyle offers a unique blend when assessed through Blue Zone longevity principles. The community’s strong emphasis on family and traditional values often translates into deeply integrated social support systems, aligning well with the “Loved Ones First” and “Belong” pillars.
One notable strength is the potential for robust social connections; the relatively lower cost of living compared to other Californian cities can enable residents to prioritize family time, foster multi-generational households, and cultivate close-knit community bonds, embodying the “Right Tribe” principle.
However, a significant challenge for residents is consistently incorporating “Move Naturally” and “Plant Slant” behaviors. The sprawling, car-centric urban design and prevalence of convenience foods mean that integrating daily physical activity and prioritizing a whole-food, plant-rich diet often require deliberate effort rather than being an intrinsic part of daily life.
