so i had a question for someone that wanted to know what tests

should i get in my yearly checkup so i just wanted to answer that

on this video now of course if you have some pre-existing problem whether the

thyroid you have diabetes autoimmune disease you’re going to be

doing like advanced liver testing thyroid testing if you’re

a diabetic you would do an a1c testing you probably already can test yourself

at home with your blood glucose levels and if you’re a pre-diabetic or a

diabetic i always recommend trying to get this test right

here homa ir now one of the problems

that happens as soon as you start keto you start improving

insulin resistance your insulin drops down

and then you go get the test ideally it’d be great to get this test before

you start keto and then do an after test and you’ll see

a dramatic improvement in this test right here

homa ir is a test to determine if you have insulin resistance

or not you’re going to be looking at fasting glucose and fasting insulin

and there’s a certain formula you’re going to do to determine if you have

insulin resistance or not but sometimes doc’s never even heard of

it and they won’t even recommend it so you want to find a doctor that can do

this but if you already started keto and

intermittent fasting and you’re doing great

you don’t need to do this but it would just be a good before and

after improvement on that test now as far as getting

checkups from your doc routine i’m sure they’re going to recommend what you need

but cbc complete blood count you’re probably

going to get a basic metabolic panel which is going to look at a lot of

different areas of your body they may or may not recommend a vitamin

d test i think this is very very important since

most people are very very deficient they may not recommend this test i would

recommend it if you’ve never had it before

it’s called a cac test or a scan coronary artery calcium scoring

very important test way more valuable than a cholesterol test because they’re

going to look into the coronary artery and identify how much calcium you have

in there and give you a number based on a scale and so you

want it zero some people have over a thousand

and that is not good but it’s good to know where you’re at

because you can always improve it but if it’s over a thousand

you have to take this very seriously and get on strict keto

immediately because you’re going to be at risk but this is a very important

test and let’s say for example it is high

then you can each year just get another one and see

how it comes down let’s say it’s normal and you’re doing

keto and you’re doing intermittent fasting and you’re

you’re sticking to it do you need to do it no because it was normal and you’re

not doing anything to make it worse this test i think is a very important

thing to take every year it’s your omega three to six

ratio test but you don’t need to go to the doctor

to get this test done all you need is a little kit

and a drop of blood now the importance of this test is to

look at the ratios of omega-3 to omega-6 and the problem is the vast majority of

the population are very heavy on the omega-6 these are

inflammatory and very low on the omega-3 and so it’d

be really good to know where you’re at and where you should be

so you can start to reverse this and you reverse this by not

only taking omega-3 fatty acids from fish oil or olive oil

but also by eliminating these other oils which is pretty much in

so many foods at the grocery store it’s just crazy i put a link down below of a

lab that you can get this kit to get

yourself tested and if you use my code you’ll get the

maximum discount now i am getting zero from this i’m not

getting any kickbacks or favors or anything i told the company

it’s a good company that i want to pass the maximum savings on to

you so it’s like you get 20 off so if you

want to get the kit and test yourself the links down below now another point i

want to mention if your cholesterol is high

this is a very important test to get it’s called advanced

lipid test where they’re looking at the size of the particles

and they go deeper into the types of lipoproteins that you have

and um this will actually give you all the data you need

versus just total cholesterol or or your ldl cholesterol or your hdl cholesterol

and your triglycerides so i highly recommend doing this if you

have high cholesterol or you’re concerned

i’ll put some videos down below but for the most part

personally i don’t go crazy with testing but these are some good points to know

about and just to have data as a screening

tool to see where you’re at each year thanks for watching before you go if you

have a question about a product or you’re new to keto and you want to

know how to begin keto or you’re on keto and you need a

debug because it’s not going as smooth i have a keto consultant standing by to

help you this is just for the people in the US

hopefully in the future we’ll be able to answer everyone’s call

but i put the number down below so you can call
