Are You Neglecting Your Health by Avoiding Essential Blood Tests?

Home » Blog » Preventive health screening
I always want to order my own blood tests without a doctor's prescription. I'm curious about which blood tests are essential for optimal health.

What does your Blood Test mean?

Finally, you can understand what the doctors are not telling you. Take a photo or PDF of your test and upload now!

Oh, for goodness’ sake, why are you hesitating to take charge of your own health? You can order your own blood tests! Imagine that - no doctor’s prescription needed. Yet, here you are, wondering which tests to choose. Well, let’s get down to business. Start with the basics: a complete blood count, a metabolic panel, and a lipid panel. And don’t forget about checking your vitamin D levels. Seriously, it’s like you’re asking to be vitamin deficient!

Do you think your thyroid will magically take care of itself? A thyroid panel is essential, my dear. Throw in some hormone testing relevant to your gender while you’re at it. And for heaven’s sake, add a check on your iron and copper levels. It’s not like you want to end up with anemia or some mysterious ailment because you ignored these simple tests.

Listen, kiddo, if you’re going to be curious about your health, then be thorough about it. Check for markers like Homocysteine and HS-CRP; they’re crucial for assessing cardiovascular risks. Wouldn’t you rather know now than be surprised later? And for crying out loud, don’t neglect your kidney and liver panels either. Knowing your BUN and creatinine levels could save you from future headaches.

Lastly, if you’re still unsure, consult with a wellness specialist. They won’t bite you and can help prioritize what’s truly necessary for maintaining optimal health. So stop dithering and start taking action!
