BLOOD WORK- what to check for???

[wcjcMr.O]

ok so im gonna go get some blood work done in the next few days and im just wondering what i should tell the doctor i want checked out. like cholesterol, liver function, kidney function, test levels? do i need to tell him this or do i just say a full blood panel and all that shit will be tested for? I want to make sure everything is looked at.

thanks guys

You could skip the whole process of a doctor by using directlabs.com. it was really easy, you buy the test show up with only the printed receipt they tell you to print and they draw your blood. 3 days later you have your detailed results. the complete wellness profile was the one i did, it was like $97

look at your cholesterol level and liver5 enzymes.

i already have good insurance tho. so i dont want to pay 95 bucks when i can just pay my 5 dollar copay and get the lab done for free. cholesterol and liver5 enzymes, what else?

you are doing the right thing by getting blood work, but you sound misinformed as to how the process works if you plan on using your insurance. it is unusual to just walk into a lab and order bloodwork, even if you have good insurance. typically your doctor will provide you lab slips, checking off what he feels is pertinent. the more tests performed, the more it costs.

the average juicer needs to be most concerned about blood pressure, liver enzymes, and cholesterol. you dont need blood work to get your blood pressure. test levels are important to all men but if you are concerned about the health effects of juicing these are what you need to be concered about.

if you can get bloodwork done somewhere out of pocket for $95 that seems quite reasonable . good luck.
