Blood work is uncomfortable for many people, but an absolute necessity for us to live our healthiest life. Common blood tests that are received at physicals or check ups give us a broad perspective at what’s going on inside of our bodies, but there are other options to give us the specifics on many biological functions and nutrient deficiencies. It’s easier and more affordable than ever to find the answers you’re looking for through blood testing. Of course knowing how to interpret those results is equally important as getting the tests.
