Where does everyone manage to get their lab work done?
Out of all things related to Ray Peat, this is unequivocally the most difficult practice to adopt, at least in my experience.
I’ve seen over five doctors and it is an uphill battle to try and obtain lab work. There is no combination of words, no convincing, no nothing to persuade them to order tests for me. Not even with a documented history of hormone disrupters. I even have a personal family connection to my current internist, but he stubbornly refuses lab work.
I’ve gotten a little bit of lab work done, never more than once, and never random specific tests like PTH, LH, FSH, SHBG, vit D, and calcium/phosphate.
I also got a DUTCH test but this unfortunately did not include many relevant data points.
Other sources like walkinlab . com are extremely pricey. Is this the only way?
I live in the US btw.
