Synopsis

Twenty years ago, screening guidelines said one thing. Today they say another, and most patients never got the memo explaining why. Volume 1 of The Preventive Health Playbook is where Dr. Steven Warren, MD, DPA starts every new patient, and it is where this series starts too.

This is not a diet book and it is not a supplement catalog. It is a clear-eyed walk through the foundational questions a thoughtful adult should be asking at a checkup: which screening tests actually change an outcome, why weight gain after 45 is a physiology story and not a discipline story, how to read a cholesterol panel the way a preventive medicine physician reads it, and why ordering every test available (the 100 test illusion) usually creates more confusion than clarity.

Inside Volume 1, Foundations:

  • Foundation First, the framework used across all four volumes of this series

  • Twenty Years of Fear, a plain history of how screening guidance actually changed and why

  • Weight Gain After 45, the physiology behind midlife weight changes

  • Screening Tests, what is proven, what is optional, what is noise

  • Cholesterol, reading a lipid panel without the scare tactics

  • The 100 Test Illusion, why more testing is not automatically better medicine

  • Optimal, Watch, Action, a three-tier framework for interpreting any lab result

  • Interstitium and Acupuncture, an honest look at an emerging anatomical structure and an ancient practice

  • Blood Pressure Measured Right, the technique errors that produce false readings

  • Choosing a Dietary Pattern, matching an eating pattern to a real life instead of a trend

  • Fasting and Autophagy, what the evidence supports and what it does not

  • Sauna, Cold Plunge, and HRV, recovery tools evaluated on their actual evidence base

  • Alcohol, an honest risk conversation without moralizing

  • Cannabis, a clinical, non-judgmental look at use and risk

Dr. Warren is triple-boarded in Family Medicine, Preventive Medicine, and Addiction Medicine, and board-certified in Hospice and Palliative Medicine. He built this series around a single idea: get the foundation right before spending money or hope on the next intervention. No chapter claims a supplement, peptide, or lifestyle change treats, cures, or prevents disease. This volume gives readers the vocabulary and the framework to understand every volume that follows.
