> Biomarkers is way less important than how ons feels and looks
Hard disagree here. For example if your insulin levels and blood pressure is way off baseline, that is objectively much more important than how you “look” (obviously those 2 biomarker examples can be impacted by things outside of diet too)
That’s a bad example. This is typically how it goes. Overweight person goes on that diet loses tons of weight, joints feel better, mood is better, gets off meds. Then goes to doctor and his cholesterol went up, so doctor recommends he stops eating meat.
Sure, if your ‘vital signs’ worsen then that trumps looks (I doubt you will feel great if you have poor vital signs). When we say biomarkers we typically refer to blood chemistry labs like lipid panels, hormones, etc. A number on a piece of paper that may or may not be connected to a future health event is rarely a better metric than one’s improved vitality
