Why Santa Cruz 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.
Santa Cruz naturally embodies several Blue Zone principles, particularly its encouragement of daily, natural movement and robust social connections. With the ocean, redwoods, and mountains as a backyard, residents effortlessly integrate physical activity and build strong ‘right tribes’ around shared passions like surfing, hiking, and biking, fostering deep community bonds.
However, the high cost of living presents a significant challenge. Financial stress can strain residents’ ability to ‘down shift’ and consistently prioritize healthy, often more expensive, plant-forward eating, potentially detracting from overall well-being despite the idyllic surroundings.
