There's a helpful thread here with ALL of the recommended tests. But as a woman who wants to optimize her energy / hormones / thyroid, etc. What are the very FIRST lab tests I should invest in?
Doing research in my area, most of the practitioners (with "naturopathic" in the title usually) seem to offer both hormone testing (ZRT Saliva Test) and thyroid testing to women looking for more energy (my issue)....
...But what about testing things like vitamin d, iron, etc? Should vitamin level testing be just as important?
Is there an order of priority for lab tests to get?
My issue: fatigue and mental concentration. Basically no other issues. I just get mental (and thus physical) fatigue/overwhelm more easily than I like, and want to finally know once and for all which supplements / hormones / etc I should REALLY be taking (instead of just guessing).
Thank you for any help!
