24.Check Your Gut Health
It’s not the sexiest topic, but your gut plays an important role in your broader health and longevity, with doctors sometimes referring to it as your “second brain.”
“Ask your doctor for lab tests to check your gut health to see if you need to add pre- or probiotic supplementation,” says Battistelli. “This usually involves a stool test that you can do at home and then mail in to the lab (fun!). But so much information about your health—or lack thereof—can be gleaned from your stool.”
