Comment TESTS!
Between social media, podcasts, and well-meaning friends, it can feel like you need a never-ending list of tests if you want to take care of your health.
Gut microbiome tests, food sensitivity panels, genetic testing, continuous glucose monitors…all costing hundreds of dollars, some thousands, and most are not covered by insurance.
It’s a lot. And the truth is, going out and doing all of the testing, usually isn’t that helpful and isn’t the best use of your money.
After more than a decade of supporting women and many years navigating my own health and testing, I’ve found that more testing doesn’t always provide the clarity we’re after.
Of course your doctor is the best person to help you determine what YOU need, but if you’re navigating on your own and trying to advocate for yourself, it can be hard to know where to start.
There are 3 tests that I think are worth asking for and/or paying out of pocket for (and bonus: some may be covered by insurance):
🩸 - Comprehensive bloodwork panel
🦴 - DEXA scan
❤️ - Advanced heart health markers
