Comment “LIST” and I’ll send you a link with my full list of labs I recommend my clients to run every year!

If you’re struggling with weight loss but you’re taking all the right steps and eating all the right things, it may be time to turn to lab work to get to the root of your problem.

Not only can running labs shed some light on potential issues which can be halting your weight loss process, but even if you feel healthy they are important to run yearly in order to be proactive about your health! There are things that happen in our body that we may not notice ourselves, but catching early signs can allow us to stop any potential health issues before they get too serious! So basically lab work is important for EVERYONE!

Here are my top 3 labs you should run yearly and why:

1️⃣Magnesium RCB: This test measures the levels of magnesium in your red blood cells, which gives you are more accurate assessment of your magnesium status than a standard serum magnesium test. Magnesium is crucial for muscle function, nerve function, and energy production… so this is super important! Many people are deficient in magnesium and don’t even know it! 

2️⃣C Reactive Protein (CPR): CPR is a marker of inflammation in your body. Elevated CPR levels can be a sign that your body is inflamed due to an infection, an injury, or a chronic illness. There are lifestyle changes that can help make a difference and reduce inflammation. 

3️⃣Fasting Insulin: Your fasting insulin levels can tell you how your body manages sugar. High insulin levels could mean that you’re insulin resistant, which is a precursor to Type 2 Diabetes. Keeping an eye on your fasting insulin levels can help you spot early signs of insulin resistance and resulting metabolic dysfunction. Then you can switch up your habits to make your cells more receptive to insulin. 

Make sure to comment “LIST” below to get my full list of 8 labs I recommend that you get every year, and tips on habit and lifestyle changes and more!
