Thanks for this post. Funnily enough, after reading your Attia book summary, I'd made a note of this to ask my doc for at a physical earlier this week.
They unfortunately stuck me with an older doc I'd never met, and he was 100% not interested in hearing about apoB, or anything else outside of flowchart medicine from decades ago. I gently persisted, asking if due to family cardiac history I could get this added to my bloodwork. He got visibly angry, jaw clenched, and said, "I am not interested in alternative medicine." I said, "Or modern research, apparently," which was when he stormed out of the physical in a huff. So, all of that to say, not all doc's are on board with this. I hope that changes.
I did just find that Inside Tracker has added this to their screening, though their plans are very expensive (~$700 for the most basic testing plan). Still, could be money well spent if one can't find a doctor who will order this test.
