Why Tehachapi 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.
Tehachapi’s high desert environment fosters a lifestyle with several alignments to Blue Zone principles, particularly its encouragement of an active, community-oriented life. The blend of natural beauty and small-town charm provides a unique backdrop for well-being.
A significant strength for Tehachapi residents is the ease of “Move Naturally” and “Right Tribe.” The surrounding mountains and clear weather encourage daily outdoor activity like hiking and walking, while the tight-knit community readily cultivates strong social bonds and a sense of belonging, vital for collective support and purpose.
However, a challenge residents might face is consistently practicing the “Plant Slant” and “80% Rule.” While individual efforts abound, the local food environment may offer fewer readily accessible and diverse whole plant-based options compared to urban areas, potentially making optimal dietary choices a conscious effort.
