Someone asked me recently which health tests I’d recommend for women who want a clearer picture of their health.
And almost before I could answer, she followed up with: “I started looking into it online… and now I have a list of 47 things I’m apparently supposed to do.”
I get the overwhelm!
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.
Comment ‘TESTS’ and I’ll send you a link with the full post that outlines:
✔️ 3 tests that I think are worth paying out of pocket for
✔️ Exactly what to ask your doctor for
