I have so many friends that tell me I trust the Doctor and the test he requests, but I still feel crapy. Let’s think about this. You arrive fifteen minutes early to your appointment, fill in some papers, see your Doctor for maybe fifteen minutes, and then are ushered into a cubical for drawing blood. You wait a week or two, and if there is a problem, your Doctor will inform you through the assistant or front desk. Otherwise, if your tests are normal, you will not hear from your Doctor’s office.
Ok, a little exaggerated, I’m sure, but…why do you still feel crapy even after taking your Doctor’s advice? Maybe they are not collecting enough info to spot the root cause of your situation. I respect Dr Hyman and his research. He is a functional doctor, and his list of important blood tests is top-notch. Please read this article and print it off. Please take it to your next Doctor’s visit. Ask him to investigate further. Then, request a meeting to review the test results in lay terms.
Good Luck!
I'm Melinda Stevens and living the life of a beach bum was inevitable since my father was a lifeguard for the city of Los Angeles. My memories of growing up on John Street in Manhattan Beach, California were filled with joy, excitement and adventures; until my world, as I knew it, fell apart when we moved to Del Mar, California. My father was offered the position as Captain of the lifeguards and we started the slow migration to the small deserted stretch of beach in 1963. At twelve years old, this seemed like the end of my life. Remember, I’m writing with clear hindsight now, ok somewhat clearer… Little did I know this would be the beginning of a new journey and give a bit more clarity to many of the events that led me to this new cooking adventure.
