These are 5 lab tests every woman should be checking 🌱
▫️ Fasting Insulin: Insulin resistance often develops silently long before blood sugar becomes abnormal, making this test essential for catching metabolic dysfunction early. It's a key predictor of PCOS, weight gain, energy issues, and long-term diabetes risk.
▫️ HS - CRP (Inflammation Markers): This marker can reveal hidden inflammation before it causes serious damage.
▫️ Full Thyroid Panel: The thyroid regulates metabolism, mood, energy, hair, and fertility, yet standard care often only checks TSH, missing the full picture. A complete panel can uncover diagnosis that often go undiagnosed for years.
▫️ S*x Hormones + Cortisol: Imbalances in estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and cortisol are behind a wide range of symptoms — irregular cycles, low libido, anxiety, belly fat, and burnout. Testing these together gives a complete view of how stress and reproductive hormones are interacting in the body.
▫️ Vitamin D3: Deficiency is extremely common, especially in women, and is linked to depression, fatigue, and increased risk of autoimmune disease.
