Blood work

Postby Jeff55 » Wed Apr 17, 2019 10:47 am

Hi Jeff,

I'd like to get my blood work done to verify that I'm healthy following your guidelines.
I'm thinking to have them check Vitamin D, B12, Omega 3s (will my Doc recognize this?)
Are there any other measurements you recommend I check? If so, what are they called?
Thank you!

At the 10-Day, we just check the basic CMP, CBC, lipid panel and thyroid unless there is a specific reason to test for something else.

You can read about my opinion on Vitamin D and B12 in my article on supplements.
