You can visit your doctor and ask for a blood test to learn more about your nutrition. You will discover how much vitamin D, Vitamin B 12, Folate, Iron, Magnesium, Zinc, Sodium, Calcium, electrolytes and cholesterol you have in your body to determine what you might be lacking in your diet, and what you could supplement to improve your overall health.

However the doctor does not always make this easy. Doctors are trained to treat symptoms, so if you don’t have any illness or symptoms to report, a doctor might not think a blood test is necessary for you. Therefore I have written a script that you can use to convince your doctor to offer you a comprehensive blood test that will teach you a lot about your overall health.

Because you deserve to know what is happening inside your body and what you can do to improve your overall health. However, if you don’t want to visit a doctor, there are also a range of tests that you can take from the comfort of your own home. There is a great company called “My Lab Box” which offers a variety of test kits which you can use to test your nutrition without drawing blood or leaving your home #stayhome

Would you rather get a blood test from your doctor or order a test kit and do it from home? Leave a comment and let us know how you would test your vitamin and mineral levels?

[sylviaruth]

Which online test covers all of the Vitamins and Minerals? I don’t want to order the wrong kit. Thanks.

[antoniomanconi]

Hi mate, thanks for the top video. Is there a specific test we can do to test micro nutrients? for eg b8 or zinc or gabba?

[jacobduncan]

As informative this video was, I couldn’t help but chuckle at the fact that he said not to swear at your doctor, but nothing about the knife. Apparently pulling a knife on your doctor is acceptable 😂

[tuhrtje]

No insurance and I can’t find a “cheap” test online 😞

[doityourselfsave]

Thanks. You should do more videos on patients rights. And what to do or contact when we have problems with staff

[tammejohnson]

Thank u for this information! Its time for my yearly physical and i needed this full disclosure. Otherwise I'd be wasting my time (i feel) with those general tests.

[toshitsingh]

Thanks, exactly what I was looking for

[mattws]

Love your channel and checked the website but it doesnt seem clear, you dont seem to have a test that calculates your mineral levels? Theres one that says heavy metals and it seems like its to check for toxicity? Maybe i should go to the doc to get info on possible defiencies instead

[zyrith]

What about checking other vitamin B, K, A and E and antioxidant levels? Are the things you have listed sufficient to know if you lack in these? Some feedback would be amazing. I have genuine concerns about my health and I have a past of doctors not taking me seriously which made things worse. At this point it is an obsession which is clearly not good for my mental health and I am very reluctant to ask for help so I want to be 100% sure to ask for the right tests and get to know where my health stands. Also for someone who's ignorant, is a blood test enough to check for any kind of disorder or deficiency in your body or does a blood test cover only a specific amount? Maybe to be a bit more precise, my concerns come from not having eaten well as I was still growing, having been a couch potato for the longest time, immense emotional and physical stress, drug abuse and overdose and almost 3 years of smoking. I feel miserable :(

On the side note, people always say it is better to get micronutrients from the diet an some even go so far to say that supplementing doesn't work. I don't know what to believe anymore, I just want to be well.

[sugarwalker]

Do home blood test after it sent to lab report your results to medical records also? or insurance records? Has any one confirmed this?

[loveforeignaccents]

Holy shite, I'd be broke if I had to order those tests! Looks like I will be heading back to my doc eventually, as my annual exam is covered by my health insurance. Anyhow, thanks for the video - you always crack me up!

[maggiegent]

I wanna know about my magnesium and potassium levels! So interesting!

[loveforeignaccents]

Valuable advice... "don't swear at your doctor"... but no mention of the it would be a good idea not to pull a knife out on your doctor either. :-)

[glenncahn]

Lousy audio; you need a microphone. The music is way too loud and distracting.

[yanibelleza]

😆😆😆😆 1:27 that’s exactly how how I imagine my appointment will be! That’s why I haven’t went to the doctor for a blood test but Today I was looking for any tips how to check your vitamin levels at home and I came across your video 😁

[cassieapple]

How does the at home test work if not a blood test?

[blakelaw]

I know my rights later that day rights are removed?!

[kimt]

Yes, why is it so hard to get this tested? I've had this very discussion with a doctor. Why are they so reluctant to test this? Especially if insurance will likely pay for this testing stuff.

[channelchannel]

Lol - the doctor scene is so spot on!!!! :))) so tired of this idiotic reactive medicine… :)
