I tried 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-Richards
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. 😊

[@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!

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!

[@tatini7591]

I grew up in Brazil, there we do these exams every year, usually when the girl has her first period she starts going to the gynecologist and he will check her health, throughout life, care during pregnancy, menopause, we measure all hormones, nutrients, metals, ultrasound of the organs, at 45 I have a book of all the testa and changes that my body has been going through, sometimes it's a little strange to see your heart changing in size, I used to think that all health systems were like that, my husband who is French said I've never seen doctors like that. one of the good parts is that this becomes a social conversation, we talk a lot about what happens in our body, we exchange tips on new tests that we discover, the doctors do not receive our results, they go to the patient to analyze and then show it to the doctors he choose

[@chickadee317]

Wow, that is elite care.

[@alisonreed4408]

Wow, this is amazing!

[@CJ-ft9yo]

that sounds like how the health system should be instead of the one stop shop of getting a pill from doctors that don’t even ask or examine but they’re good at typing without looking at you, and certainly no follow up to see how the chosen pill is working.

[@barbarafairbanks4578]

@@CJ-ft9yo yep - you nailed it - 'sick-care' system in the U.S. And we pay a fortune for it, too 😪

[@jellybeanvinkler4878]

I never even had any blood test til I was in my late 40s or early 50s. I guess I could have if I went through some channels, but I was never sick, so it was never called for. I made a yearly or bi-yearly visit to GYN for pap smear only. Never had kids and never really had my own primary care manager. My husband had a 30 year Navy career and had his own separate, fairly comprehensive health checks. In my late 60s now and I do visit Dr regularly. But I take our current USA health guides with a grain of salt. Fortunately I've been fairly healthy except for kidney stones, I believe due to a vegetarian lifestyle through my 40s and 50s. Now a low carb way of life with animal protein base. Retired and time to exercise regularly. Feel much better than my younger years.

[@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 🙏🏼 ❤

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.

[@wishbonebrewery]

Just so you know, I'm a bloke listening to your stuff about PMT, its certainly better to know about stuff than not. That aside, I watched most of this last night then finished off watching just now, amazingly interesting. I really wish GPs / Doctors would do something similar to these tests and analysis with their patients, just imagine the long term benefits and less stress on the NHS if people really knew what was going on in their own bodies and could use diet and exercise to the best advantage. Brilliant stuff, really great.

[@LauraTryUK]

Hey Wishbone, thank you so much for your comment. You know, I never really paid attention to PMT, menopause and all that stuff, but it's on my radar now and it's made me realise so may women have so many different experiences and it gives me empathy (maybe sympathy? I get confused with the words) now as I realise that each women will feel different and different levels. I also wish these things could be tested in the mainstream but ... well..... I'll say no more.

[@wishbonebrewery]

@@LauraTryUK I'd go with Empathy, unless you feel sorry for them. Empathy is more overall feel their pain :)

[@amykennedy4808]

In the UK we have reference ranges for blood tests. This is defined by the population to which the range applies. e.g iron for a female is 10-300ng/ml, Unfortunately if you are on the low end of the range not all GPs will not provide supplement. This will only make iron deficiency/anemia worse. I think blood tests are thorough but it just depends on the clinician looking at it. So things can get missed. Just recently my Vit D levels were within 'normal range' but on the low end. I've decided to take a supplement because the tank is running low. Patients should be made aware so they can make informed decisions.

[@FM-mb2lu]

In the US, analysis like this is only done by specialized practitioners and is very expensive. I think of the number of people who would love happy healthy lives with an adjustment in supplements and food and exercise.

[@Fatbum11]

Unfortunately if your results show abnormal, they won’t treat you until your in disease. That’s what happened to me and my daughter , she should have been diagnosed at 14 because her results showed abnormal and had the same disease hypothyroidism. She was diagnosed on a different and worse reference range than me, I had to get help from a nurse to write in a medical way, so they couldn’t explain away my concerns. Even when she was 14 she was 12.6 and symptomatic and I was 12. The doctor even said knowing my history and other family members have it I’m not going to medicate you, so she suffered for 5 more years. Also when I asked another doctor he said 16 and 17 is healthy, so it made no sense. So many people are living with invisible illnesses. I’m lucky to be able to make sense of mine.

[@lucyheart8033]

I am an older woman and look forward to seeing your mom’s results. I am so interested in her wanting to be tested. I subscribed.😊

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.

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!

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!

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 🙏

This is a great channel, and this episode was fantastic! I'm in the US, and I wish you and Dr. Peter Attia (the book Outlive is his) would get together for a podcast. You two would be so complementary -- you are "context" for so much of what he talks about. I wish there was someone like Phil in the USA that I could go to for blood work! It's almost worth a trip to UK to get it done!

The overall message I seem to be hearing from loads of fitness and health videos is that some amount of weight training is absolutely essential to stay healthy.

[@LauraTryUK]

I'm hearing the same from many places too John 🏋️

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!!
