Get your pen and paper out! Here are a few important blood tests to take to your doctor or a local walk-in lab. The mainstream medical community emphasizes total cholesterol and total LDL cholesterol readings, and dispenses a prescription statin without digging deeper. An overreliance on this single metric misses the true complexity of heart disease. A better assessment looks at the big picture and includes a range of different tests, such as the following: - Triglycerides to HDL ratio - Blood Pressure - Vitamin D - Fasting Blood Insulin - HbA1C - Triglycerides  - Hs-CRP - Homocysteine - ApoB - LDL particle size / advanced lipid profile testing - Coronary calcium testingHope this helps give you an idea of some other important tests to get a true status of your health and heart disease risk. Make sure to test, not guess!Have a great day!If you love the Get Lean Eat Clean Podcast, we’d love for you to subscribe, rate, and give a review on Apple Podcasts.
