0:00.0 | I am such a huge proponent for getting blood work done. I'm asked all the time what kind of supplements |
0:04.2 | people should take and how much. And I tell everyone the same thing. You need to understand what's going |
0:09.1 | on in your body first before you start taking supplements because you need to know what you're |
0:13.8 | deficient in or if you have too much of something in your body. And from there, then you can |
0:18.9 | determine what vitamins are best for you and your specific health |
0:22.4 | needs. This is why I love Healthier's micronutrient test. It is super affordable. It's |
0:28.6 | $1.24.99. And as someone who's been getting a ton of blood work lately, let me tell you, |
0:33.4 | blood work is not always cheap and not always covered by insurance. But this is 125 and there are |
0:39.9 | six biomarkers tested, vitamin B12 folate, ferritin, which is iron, vitamin D, magnesium, and calcium. |
0:46.5 | It is so simple. They send you a little finger prick with a lancet and a little blood collecting |

0:56.3 | back. It is so easy to do. And what I love about the biomarkers that they're testing, they're related |
1:01.9 | to nutrition. So this kit can really help you understand where you may have gaps in your |
1:07.0 | nutrition or diet. It can also provide insight into symptoms you may be experiencing |
1:11.1 | that are caused by those nutrient gaps. For example, if you're struggling with low energy, |
1:15.8 | it could be caused by low levels of vitamin B12 or ferretin. Also, if you are having a hard time |
1:21.6 | sleeping at night or dealing with anxiety, you might need more magnesium. If you're plant-based |
1:26.4 | or vegan, the micronutrient test helps you to |
1:28.6 | monitor your levels of B12 ferritin and vitamin D, all of which are pretty difficult to obtain from |
1:33.8 | a vegan or plant-based diet alone. So by testing all these biomarkers, you can tailor your diet |
1:38.9 | and your supplement regimen based on your own unique needs. And you can also check and see if your supplements that you're taking are actually working for |
1:46.7 | you and being absorbed so that you're not wasting your time or money on supplements that |
