I Did a Blood Test Analysis - how ‘healthy’ am i?

I had my blood and other things analysed to see how healthy I am.
In this video I explain the full process, take you through my analysis and share my action plan to get my body back in balance.
A HUGE thank you to Phil for working with me. Visit his website here: bit.ly/Phil-Ri...
Phil works with blood & stool testing, as well as online exercise and nutrition coaching.
I had the Ultimate Sports Performance Blood Test and Stool Analysis.
Phil recommended those tests based on my ’symptoms’ and what I hoped to achieve as a result of having the tests.

Some additional notes about this video: 1. I should have mentioned what tests I had in the video - I had the Ultimate Sports Performance Blood Test and Stool Analysis. Phil recommended those tests based on my ’symptoms’ and what I hoped to achieve as a result of having the tests. If you would like testing but are unsure which tests to do, send a message to Phil and he will make a recommendation based on your reasons and budget. 2. I really hope you found some value in this video. I know it was a long one with lots of detail, but I wanted to lay it all out and share my experience, in case it helps someone else. A huge thanks to Phil for helping me get back on track. 3. What I have shared in this video is my experience and my results. Someone else is likely to have very different results and requirements. Please do not self-diagnose based on what has been mentioned in this video. 4.. By me having these tests, please don't think I’m doing a Jeff Bezos and wanting to live forever. This is me wanting to live a healthy life and not end up in a pickle in my later years being on prescribed medications. 5. One thing that has surprised me about the eating plan is it isn’t much more than I was spending on food before. Previously, I was buying many different types of fruits and vegetables, oats, non-dairy milk, nuts and seeds, that kind of stuff and it was expensive! Plus I was still always hungry! Now all I’m buying is meat, fish and vegetables and it’s coming to the same amount, plus I'm full after each meal, with no snacks or cravings. 6. Who liked the funny weight-lifting faces? I can't carry on pulling those faces if I want to find a boyfriend 😆

[@celticlass8573]

I'm about 2/3 done the video, and plan to finish it because I find it fascinating! Our society tends to think in terms of "let's zoom in on this one particular thing" when it comes to overall health and wellness, and ignores the fact that our bodies are one big system, and everything affects everything else. I love when people really dive in, and get a much clearer idea of what's really happening in their body. 😊

this comment 🙌🏼

[@anniwilson2534]

This is one of the best videos I’ve seen in ages! So much pseudo science out there and it comes down to basic things for optimal health - eat an unprocessed high protein diet and lift heavy stuff. I learnt so much from Phil’s explanations. I would like to get similar done however a severe needle phobia puts me off the blood test! 🫣 Super encouraging that you’ve got such good results in a short period of time too LT ❤

[@syrus3k]

Hi Laura, this was the best video I've seen from you in ages.. really really interesting and I think Phil was superb. The results you've had in 6 weeks are absolutely off the chart so I've contacted Phil! I don't have much money but I wanna find out more about me!

[@LauraTryUK]

I am so happy to here you have contacted Phil, John. Please keep me posted about how you get on!

[@barbarajones9111]

You have nothing to feel embarrassed about, there will be loads of women, who are experiencing these symptoms, and will truly be grateful, for your honesty, and transparency, so that it might set them, on the right path to getting well, and back to normal😊😊

[@LauraTryUK]

Thank you Barbara, when saying it all out loud, the list felt very long. But your kind and supportive words are lovely, thank you!

[@glasgowchiropracticpaisley7340]

This stuff is pure gold!!! This is THE most interesting video I have EVER seen. Such quality info. I have a biochemistry degree and a Chiropractic degree and the way Phil brought the science together with the function of the body was like I’d had an epiphany. It really connected my 2 degrees and blended them together like a symphony! Words can’t describe how excited I am to get myself checked and feel like I’m actually going to get the results I want on my fertility journey. Thank u soooo much for being so honest and for searching out Phil and highlighting his incredible knowledge. Thank you 🙏🏼 ❤

I really love this girl. So genuine and honest. A rare female with a heart of gold. So much to learn from her shining light. Doing the right thing and giving care to her elder mum. Focusing intentions on good health and wellbeing, that her dear mum is likely benefiting from as well. I support you and all you do. Cheers and lots of love to you and your sweet mum.

[@ChaunceyDevonport]

I'm in my mid-30s, and started seeing a functional medicine doctor back in May. It has been pricy, and yet invaluable. I wish I had started seeing one sooner! Thank you for sharing your experience. I too had to up my protein!

[@JadesFitnessBucketList]

Laura this health series has been amazing! i admire your candidness, transparency and honesty in the video and taking us a long your health journey and love that you're a huberman fan too! i noticed you added the Dr andy galpin and the female hormones interview clips! Ive been doing strength training and calisthenics for a couple years now and i think im quite strong. I do pull ups with a 10kg weight tied to me etc and love it butttttt i noticed i share a lot of the symptoms you explained at the beginning of your video, and i will def booking a session with Phil to see whats up!

[@LauraTryUK]

Hey Jade, it's so great to get your comment, thank you. Huberman is everything to me 😆 Those podcasts with Andy Galpin (I haven't got through them all yet) and the one about female health and longevity actually made me want to cry a little bit, that lady was phenomenal! I am in awe of you doing pull-ups with an additional 10kg - that is so mega! Please keep me updated about your appointment with Phil! Any Qs you have, send then over to me on Insta DM.

[@JadesFitnessBucketList]

Hey Laura thanks for your reply! I’ve DM’d you on Instagram with a few questions and some more personal stuff about me. So glad to see you’re a fan of the podcast too and honestly I look forward to your vids more than any other YTer 🔥 I started my pull ups because I couldn’t carry my shopping home I was so weak. I struggled to hang on a bar let alone do a chin up. Now I want to get to 20kg pull ups! Haha. Honestly it’s funny how quickly your body adapts I can’t wait to follow your strength journey! I saw you doing them and things like dips and squats etc. and I love them all. Great informative vid 🙏

[@mygoodiescoza]

Thank you for doing this video. I've shared this with my wife and I think she could get a lot of value out of doing the same testing. Love how down to earth your videos are. A welcome break from most other things on KZbin these days. Keep on going. Rooting for you to hit 100k subs!!

[@ADDIE.]

5:55 omg thank you for sharing this. Am still half way through the video, but I struggle with the same thing. And no one can tell me what it is. I fast I eat right. After this video am watching the other video of how you changed you diet. Thank youuu again ❤

[@CJ-ft9yo]

Phil is like a gnarly charismatic South Wales TV detective but solving illness rather than crime!

[@seannas-world]

Laura! I feel like I manifested you making this video. I decided when I get back from travelling I was going to get bloods done to find out how to eat/train/supplement best for me. I’ve been finding myself consuming so much content on health and biohacking and having no idea what works for me and my body. So many people recommend intermittent fasting but it makes me feel ravenous and grumpy. I found a DNA test I planned to do, but it gives pages and pages of reports and I have no idea if I’ll understand them or know what to change. But when you shared this, I knew I wanted to try a session with Phil as I think having someone talk through the results and help me decide what changes to make in my life will make all the difference. And the price for doing it with him isn’t even that different from the place I looked at that just gives written reports and no human contact. So thank you thank you thank you for making me aware of Phil and I’m definitely going to save up for his services. And so glad to hear how it’s helped you. Hope you’re okay and so good to see you smashing KZbin so well!

[@LauraTryUK]

Seanna 😍 it's so great to see your name and your comment! Phil and his work is incredible! It just makes so much sense to me - have the blood, read the results of that individual and then have a personalised plan. With so much info out there, and many people having different requirements how are we to know what we need? Especially women with such complex hormonal changes. When you have it done, please let me know how you get on!!!!!

[@seannas-world]

@@LauraTryUK I will! I might even make a video too. I actually think this is how we should all approach health if we can afford to, as public health guidelines we get through our GP is all based on the average human and not specific to us. Thank you for making such a beautiful comprehensive video!

[@nielsroetert]

Great to see you thrive again, thanks for the informative and open video.

[@NadaAlawadhi]

Thank you for sharing your experience, I recently done some blood tests and my total protein levels were low, with the vitamin D and B12. I eat 2 meals a day and it’s been a wake up call for me to eat better.

[@Reiliferei]

Such an interesting topic. I would love to get my blood tested like this. I have many conditions but I'd like to make the best of them. I wish regular doctors would do comprehensive tests like this. I am looking forward to your journey & your moms!

[@LauraTryUK]

Hey Rei. I am pleased you liked the video. I would like to express my opinion in why doctors do not offer this kind of service, however I think I will leave that for another video for now. You may already know the answer...

[@regather59]

My understanding is this is and probably always will be beyond the purview of a GP as they have so much already to learn and watch out for, and they're obliged to stay with what's been approved by the NHS (and its equivalents), and that process of approval is slow and political. Solid research is often ignored for decades. Cheap and wholesome fixes are ignored because few people can make money out of them. Phil's making a living from helping people go that step further in pursuing good health. It'd be cost-effective for the government to offer this kind of thing to everyone, but that's political and our NHS is currently being sold off to US "health provider" sharks...

[@nevertoolate8589]

Yes I wish this kind of total health check covering everything and good nutrition, supplement and hormonal advice was provided on the NHS. But realistically, the NHS doesn’t have the money, GPs don’t have the time and most of them even the knowledge. Sadly, I think the majority of the population would not benefit anyway. They are already not listening or following the basic advice given to them of eating healthier, cooking from scratch not processed, moving more, drinking less alcohol. They feed their kids the same rubbish. Hence the overweight/obesity epidemic and related conditions. This sort of advanced testing would in my humble opinion only benefit people who are already interested in health, wanting to better themselves or are serious about making a change.

This really is food for thought and I am definitely going to be looking at having some of these blood tests done for myself. Thank you so much for making these very informative videos. They really are fantastic thank you so much ❤

[@ivajaricbremec6870]

I literally said to my bf last night that I need to check wtf is going on with my hormones because 2 days before my period I am having panic attacks and I have to spend a really absorbant amount of energy to handle my emotions. Magnesium makes so much sense, I will go check it out. Excellent video, love me a smart professional who connects so many puzzle pieces together. And it proves once again we do need true professional opinions and analysis. Thank you! ❤

[@LauraTryUK]

Hey Iva, I wonder if like me one of your female hormones is out of balance. Perhaps see if you can get a test. Be sure to test on day 21 of your cycle if you can. I am really happy you liked this video.

[@Little_Sidhe]

This was happening to me, it was so awful I don't have the words. I started to supplement with magnesium glycinate 250mg x2 daily and Vitamin D with k2 2000ug daily and I can honestly say it helped although I ran out of my magnesium and this month I've noticed an uptick in a depressive mood before my period so I will reorder the magnesium.

[@ivajaric39]

Just to update: it was magnesium! Feeling much much better!

[@jusmith6099]

Laura, thank you so much for this video, it's a lifeline for me because I've just been told I've got Osteoporosis a month after turning 55 which was a shock since I believe I eat healthily! I'd never had a broken bone in my life until something weird suddenly happened to my foot last summer and it eventually turned out I had a fractured foot bone( which still hasn't gone back to normal). So i'm going to contact Phil and ask for the same tests as you and hope he can help me, because I've also suffered from stomach problems for years and got no relief from the NHS, I've hardly been tested for anything from them! Hope you are feeling better now from following Phil's recommendations, good luck on your health journey

[@xandersmomsamby]

I'm so happy I finally had the time to watch this one!! This is something I would love to do! Can't wait for all the updates and videos to come.

[@Sakuragaokaeibikoen]

This is so excellent, thank you for doing this Laura! I had some similar issues with energy, protein, and thyroid function. I had to go on thyroid medication for Hashimoto's autoimmune, but have corrected the protein issues, eat more and take the HCL pepsin...or lately just do several shots of apple cider vinegar before meals, one shot 30 min before a protein meal, it works the same way. Also, my magnesium was low, so I take that before bed time and it helps with sleep and bowel movements. I take D3 as well, as my depression was up and so I needed it. I use a light box in the winter for 40 minutes at the beginning of my day. Also, since I have pain issues in the cold months, in my joints, I take Benfothiamine, it helps with joint pain or fibromyalgia type symptoms. I have also continued to do the intermitted fasting, not eating until 12 noon, then eliminating all gluten, of course bread. The only real carb I eat is rice, once in a while. So, I have gone down from 64 Kg. to 56 Kg. and have more muscle now. I also don't drink alcohol, eat dairy, and I try not to have sugar, honey, or maple syrup. However sometimes I do end up giving in! I have found that allergic reactions have decreased a lot! Especially itchy skin reactions, and hot flashes have gone away! I am 56, so had hot flashes for about two years, well when I gave up all sweets, they stopped! I get K2 vitamin by eating natto (fermented soy beans) about twice per week. I really admire your plan, and showing us all your process, keep on keeping on!

We all deserve optimal health

I had thrush on and off (mostly on) for 30 years :( I first got it when I put washing up liquid in my bath for bubbles when I was 7 years old. I finally cleared it 3 years ago when I went on a high protein, low carb diet for 3 months. I have been able to go back to regular, healthy diet (ie. not so strict) without recurrence. I'm so happy for you that you will be free of it too - it's such a downer. Great video Laura!!

[@katherinek1525]

Wow Phil is very knowledgeable! On a side note, I suffered with major PMT for years. When I removed chemicals from my body (metal fillings/switching to organic food/filtering water and removing all the perfumes etc, my PMT disappeared in 2 months!).

I need to book it across the pond and schedule a visit with this genius of a man!

[@couldbegood]

I am a practice nurse, I order most of these tests every day on the NHS. I just don’t have the time to explain them much! Actually we don’t do glutathione, leptin or grelin and very rarely DHEA. We only do c-peptide if you’re diabetic. It’s good to see he is knowledgeable. What a lot of people don’t know about h. pylori is that it should really go from the human body to the lab in a couple of hours, it often dies en route

[@earthmamma85]

Hi LT, Me and the Mrs love your channel. It's so inspiring and I love how down to earth you are. I'm doing the minimalist shoes and working up to ice baths atm. Glad you got such a benefit from them.

[@peterhabel]

This was really really interesting!! I have been focusing on getting enough protein, as I discovered that as a vegan this was not that easy to balance without me also increasing my calorie intake. But by monitoring this closely over a couple of months (noting everything I eat down and measuring everything), I have managed to get a much better balance. Also, I started taking HCL supplements about 2 months ago and can feel the difference, mostly in my overall health and endurance. (Run and row a lot) I have gone from being somewhat in a depressive state to feeling much better about myself and managing my mental health is suddenly not a struggle. It's funny how your diet, gut, digestion, exercise, and everything has a massive influence o your quality of life :-)

[@LauraTryUK]

Great work for finding a solution Peter. I had never heard of HCL before having this test, so interesting to hear you take it too!

[@andersonaf]

About the PMT, I'm really sad how it is over looked from our experience with NHS, not even a blood test asked, just some advice of natural pill to relax. So the solution is try to do our own research to have a better talk with doctors. Nice content @Laura Try!

[@sarahwallis3216]

Thank you so much Laura for this wonderful video and all the incredible information. I am currently on day three of a fast, mainly inspired by you as i thoroughly enjoyed watching your 5 day and 7 day fasting videos. You are so relatable and have a natural way of conveying things. So because those videos were so inspiring i thought i would listen to this one, and i can't tell you how fortunate i feel to have watched this through tonight. As someone who has been eating a diet high in calcium rich foods, with lots of dog walking in sunshine whenever i can for vit d, a recent blood test has shown low calcium, low vit d and an xray diagnosis of arthritis in my lower spine, i now realise that i must be low in magnesium amongst other things and most definitely need to incorporate weight bearing exercise, currently i just do pilates irregularly. Phil made me realise that calcium is probably not going into my bones properly and is ending up in the wrong areas. Thankfully i have a dexa scan later this mth as my G/p has flagged this issue up and was intending to prescribe me a calcium supplement. As Phil explains its not more calcium but more magnesium and vit d3 which is required to help this issue. I am pleased that you are now seeing improvements with your health due to the changes you have made, and i hope your mother does agree to you making a video with similar blood tests as i for one would be interested.

Hi Laura, this is shailendra from India, I am an architect by training but more into stockmarkets and finance management, anyway sports and health wise I am a marathon runner, half ironman and ultra cyclist and swimmer. I also do weight training and workout to keep myself fit at 59. But believe me ur video which I watched today was a eye opener to my concerns about sleeping well ( I dont sleep well and more so after covid its become a struggle ) and my ability to digest protein which has been my biggest battle so far. Will now do a complete blood profile and get my vo2, lactate and other tests done so find out what I lack. While getting tested in India is not a issue, getting detailed good advice from experts like Phil is going to be a issue for me. By the way I am single 😉😄, and ur a inspiration for me, Keep going , waiting for ur next video on improvements to ur health, Best of luck , regards , shailendra

WOW!!💥 Laura, you are Amazing! - Phil is Amazing!😃 ...this is the most AMAZING health vlog I've ever watched, and I learned SO much from it. That's saying something, bc I'm always tuned into one, or another, health vlog. Pretty sure I follow all the same YT health experts you do. So, I went thru this whole video thinking 'wow' - I wonder if Phil could recommend a U.S. cohort as good at what he does, as he is.' Then... to find out that Phil has 'packages' I may be able to ascribe to, even though I'm stateside(?) That would be awesome, if so. But, of course, the 'sit down' to discuss results would not be in person. That said, I have recently 'discovered' you, and subscribed. You caught my eye with your Huberman morning routine, recently. I think I may also have watched your 7-day fast sometime back, but did not subscribe @ that time. Watched your amazing progression at learning 'the splits', and thoroughly enjoyed it. Besides your intriguing content, I really enjoy your personality, Laura, and the realism you present in all your vlogs. Can't wait to watch your Mum going thru the same testing with Phil, and THOSE results! 😃 So, I'll look in the show notes to get an idea whether it's possible to buy one of Phil's packages, even though I'm in the states. Thanks so much for all you do, Laura! Your health vlogs help so many across this globe, I am sure.👍

Fantastic!!! So much good information. I think I am going to try some of these things.. well done Lara !! Good luck with your journey

[@FPSGaming5]

Brilliant video. Very eye opening. Keep it up Laura! Hope you get better soon.

[@ut561]

good to see you back, love the sweater, nice colors :)

[@cococomments]

This is a really important video. There is an illusion that because people are thin and/or active, they are healthy. And of course, heavier people are unhealthy. The body is so complex and health looks different for everyone. The most important thing you can do is pay attention to your own body and get help if things are not feeling right.

[@lramos45]

Really excellent and informative video, Laura! Thank you for doing this. I am so motivated now to change with this awesome information!!!

[@b-sideplank]

this was extraordinarily useful!!! and so glad that you are felling great.

I am so pleased you found it useful Saqib 😀

[@barrydavis5895]

Loved the video and your experience. Very interesting. Can't wait for the next one

[@ori9761]

Absolutely fascinating video thank you! I'd be really keen to see more on the meal plan I think I'd struggle to eat that much protein and particularly meat, but great that you're doing it without powders, I've never thought that much whey protein can be as good for you.

[@LauraTryUK]

Hey Ori, I will make a video about the meal plan in a month or so 👍 I'm thinking I'll wait until I have started the next stage of the plan (don't know what that is yet) which means I can add details of that too.

[@noelsaunders3050]

Really interesting topic! Thank you for this and all of your videos. I look forward to updates on your progress.

[@LauraTryUK]

Thank you Noel

[@dale3696]

Great video Laura, so happy that you are feeling better😀👍. I did notice your drop off in videos over the last few months and maybe this explains it. Thanks so much for sharing this information, its really great to know. I hope things continue to improve for you and btw, don't be so hard on yourself, you are a beautiful, amazing person. All the best, cheers

[@LauraTryUK]

Hey Dave, I'm pleased you liked the video! More likely the reason you don't see frequent videos from me is they take me aaaaaaaages to make 🤣

[@dale3696]

@@LauraTryUK Over hill, over Dave...doesn't quite have the same ring as Over hill, over Dale...lol.. Can you get someone to help with the editing? Or look at different editing software to make things easier? Having said this, I can see why your videos take ages, because your editing is first class, and you put so much care into each one. Really looking forward to seeing your future results from the new food & exercise regime. Cheers Dale

[@LauraTryUK]

@@dale3696 Hey Dale, I did look to get an editor however I thnk things are good the way they are right now. The scripting and planning takes the longest, and no-one can really do that apart from me, as I know the story. I don't mind it takes a while, it's all part of it.

[@HR_sailor66]

Damn this guy knows his stuff. So fascinating.

I am so pleased you can see Phil has excellent knowledge 🙏 Totally fascinating! This interview was just a snippet of what we spoke about.

[@HR_sailor66]

@@LauraTryUK well, I for one will be glued to my screen when the one year check up get's released. It is already obvious the diet and training are doing something positive for you.

Phenomenal video!! So much useful information and inspiring for anyone interested in being healthy... Now and later on. 😎

[@nazeeniranfar2616]

Thank you Laura for this in-depth video and your consultation with Phil. What an eye opener! I am new to your channel and I really took a lot from this video. Btw I am a whole food plant based and menopausal and trying to up my protein, but the most that I can manage on a good day is 90g! Thinking of signing up for coaching with Phil but not sure if he will approve of my source of protein😬So Looking forward to seeing more of your videos.

[@slwleyland]

Keto/ketovore/Carnivore eating is the most nutrient dense way of eating. Many whole-food and plant-based eaters are malnourished and don’t have good bone density. I’m in the US and there are a number of doctors and a nutritionist who discuss a proper human diet. Dr. Ken Barry, Dr. Shawn Baker, Dr. Robert Cwyes, Judy Choo (Nutrition with Judy), Dr. Anthony Chafee and so many others share the way to excellent health. Thanks for being vulnerable!!!

[@bexf2077]

Another fantastic video, so helpful. I am on a health journey too. So would say the intermittent fasting is a bad thing and have you stopped? Thanks x

[@rainbow9883]

Your final comments made me want to cry. Thank you. I've got a book to order and read, sort out a gym subscription, and arrange a date with a chap called Alexander :-).

This is so interesting, Makes me want to do the testing but can't afford the £500. So informative though!

[@dombaker6210]

A friend of mine became vegan and after a year showed your symptoms. Went to doctor who said to start eating a proper balanced diet again including meat they came back to life and colour returned to their skin.

wow 52 mins thats a new record

I think you would really enjoy the ZOE Health and Nutrition programme. It's really insightful and progressive.

K2 is also good at preventing renal artery calcification as well IIRC

[@Hannah-iq6ki]

Even though I’m comment #525 🤪🤪 this video was super informative and inspiring. Phil is a goldmine of knowledge and huge congrats to you for putting in the work to extend your healthy life span. I’m definitely going to look for a “Phil” in my area to get this type of analysis.

[@LauraTryUK]

I've read comment no.525 and I appreciate it 🙏

I know it sounds crazy to most people but you will see vast improvements on a full carnivore diet, as many people have. It may take time to heal but don't give up ❤🇦🇺

[@rhizomove6631]

I need him in my life. What a terrific nutrition practitioner! Doctors CANNOT do this until they are trained. This is true preventative medicine, using the results of diagnostic testing to adjust a person's food for their optimum health!

[@LauraTryUK]

Everyone needs Phil 😀

[@bryanhyde8850]

Thanks Laura, you're great, this gives me a lot to think about, I have done half marathons before but that was like 10 years ago and I need get back to being active, restart weight training and improve my diet habits, its getting warmer now so I will have a better chance to get my ass in gear, I will be 65 this year and I want to live for a long time and in good health. Thanks Again!!!! :) Oh yeah, hey the workout faces are good to go it shows you getting at it! You get the right boyfriend who l likes you as you are, you're pretty darn good and I might add a "Catch". Cheers!

[@LauraTryUK]

what a great comment Bryan, thank you! Even about the gym faces 🥴

[@Britbabe53]

Fascinating information!

[@Flyingtwiglet]

Awesome video. I’m just back from various tests at the GP, he was frankly useless. I’m low in iron (veggie) but the only advice he offered was that God said we could eat animals. FFS! He’s prescribed an iron supplement. No dietary advice. He even said I could get cancer anyway😲, no acknowledgment that diet and exercise had a role to play. I’m going to make sure I don’t see him again and will look to get a proper analysis like you’ve done!👍

[@philliprichards721]

Iron tablets in the dose the GP gives are very damaging and the body rejects them because the dose is so high, the liver will release an enzyme called hepcidin to manage iron absorption. There are multiple other nutrients that need to be in place to build healthy red blood cells and haemoglobin and iron is only a small part of that process. Also side note testosterone is essential for iron absorption and production and thyroid hormones are also essential for red blood cell production so its essential to make sure these hormones are in the optimum ranges.

[@LauraTryUK]

Hey! long time no chat. It's great to see you here! I am sorry to read about your experience with your doctor, that is sad. It sounds as though they have given up on their own life tbh, and maybe reflecting that back on others. Will you get a test done with Phil do you think?

[@Flyingtwiglet]

@@LauraTryUK Hi Laura, yep been here all along. Yours are one of my must see videos, as I totally relate to everything you do to try and live a good healthy life. 👏 Including learning to type, Rubics cube, unicycle I’ve tried em all too. Phil is VERY expensive. But then again you only have one body and one life and if the car needed major works you’d do it. I’ve always thought it odd that we do annual tests for cars but as humans we get very little in proactive care. Surely spotting things early would save the NHS money in the long run? So, yea I probably will contact Phil. I eat better than many but given I don’t eat meat and the only dairy is milk in tea and cheese on a pizza…, I’m probably lacking in some things and I probably don’t eat as healthily as I like to think I do.😳

[@immers2410]

It really does sound like burnout. It may not even show up in any blood tests, but trust how you feel

LMNT electrolites. If they work for you, they will sponsor your channel. Sounds like mthfr (read Dirty Genes).

[@henrietthadler2450]

I love your videos- they always encourage me to invest into my health and wellbeing but I do them not j6st for myself, but to be a better mum, wife, neighbour and so on. I am changing career and would l9ve to give back and contribute. Oh boy- we need the joy and energy for these things. A life well lived in body, soul and spirit- that's the motto. My question is that have you changed your intermittent fasting pattern or is it similar? Thanks for all the info, new adventures and inspirations!

[@LauraTryUK]

Hey Henriiett, I am now on 3 meals a day - breakfast at 8am, lunch at 12pm, and dinner at 6pm. those are the times that suit my lifestyle - workouts, work, bedtime etc.

[@bazanderson8283]

what an excellent video, a real eye opener and very informative. Alas I don't think I will be able to afford the top package you got anytime soon (unless you get a discount code hint hint 😎) but I got some really good take aways (feel a bit guilty having not paid anything) especially on ditching calcium supplementation and increasing protein intake. Thank you for sharing 👊🙏❤

[@LauraTryUK]

Hey Baz, I did go all in with the package I chose, one reason was for this video. I do not have a discount code, I did ask, but Phil does not make much from his packages, most of the cost goes to the lab for the tests. I am really pleased you got some take-aways though!

[@ahansen5389]

Really interesting. Thank you for sharing something so personal to you. How much does this cost Laura?

[@LauraTryUK]

Hey A, Phil offers many different packages. I usually include the prices in my videos, and I chose the highest one, so didn't include it as didn't want to turn people off from having it. My best advice is reaching out the Phil and asking what is best: www.philrichardsnutritionlab.co.uk/contact-phil/
