My Blood Test Analysis - how ‘healthy’ am I?

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 18 ต.ค. 2024
- 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 😆
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 🙌🏼
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 ❤
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!
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😊😊
Thank you Barbara, when saying it all out loud, the list felt very long.
But your kind and supportive words are lovely, thank you!
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 🙏🏼 ❤
Thank you for making this video. It will probably help lots of women.
So expensive
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.
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.
@@LauraTryUK I'd go with Empathy, unless you feel sorry for them. Empathy is more overall feel their pain :)
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.
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.
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.
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
Wow, that is elite care.
Wow, this is amazing!
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.
@@CJ-ft9yo yep - you nailed it - 'sick-care' system in the U.S.
And we pay a fortune for it, too 😪
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.
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.
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.😊
Thanks for subscribing Lucy. We are planning the test and the video for around June.
Laura, you are a true jewel.
This guy, is more thorough than any physician I have ever seen.
I hope you keep us updated on your journey.
I had my bloods done with Phil (twice at this point) and it is, without a doubt, the best thing I've ever done for my health
oh wow! This is awesome! How far apart did you have them taken?
ahahah, I have _so_ many questions 🤣
@@LauraTryUK Done two so far (1 year apart). More than happy to answer any questions you have about the results, what I did over that year, motivations for doing the bloods etc etc.
You continue to amaze. I hope you understand how proud you should be of yourself. Magnificent video content creator and an amazing and authentic communicator.
This comment 😭 💖
It made my eyes fill with water, in a good way.
This was the third version of this video and I wanted to get it right and show off Phil's work as best I could. Thank you so much.
@@LauraTryUK yup nice one Laura.
You're making wonderful content, as soon as I saw the VO2 Max video I immediately shared it with my fiancé. I find the realism and honesty in your videos an absolute breath of fresh air.
@colinpastuch - there's a Vo2 max video?😲
Oh! Gotta find THAT one for sure. As many times as I've watched YT health/fitness vlogs re VO2 max, IDK what it really means, or how to go about finding mine🫨
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.
I'm hearing the same from many places too John 🏋️
So motivating thank you 😊 You are one of my favourite people to watch and loving watching your journey ❤
Thank you Sarah, this comment is so lovely 💖
I'm only halfway through the video, but I am so impressed with Phil! I wish everyone could have someone like Phil help them. Can we talk about how sad it is that your doctor's standard blood tests showed "everything normal", but Phil found loads of things to improve? Ugh, healthcare is so broken. 😢
This was the most beneficial bloodwork I have ever seen. I work for Child Psych and I’m going to talk to my doctors about this and send it to one of them since she suffers from most of the some stuff ( Like my daughter and ). Thank you beautiful soul!!
Laura, you're amazing with your openness to experiment and attempt new things to share it. It looks like perfect timing with this one 👌
As I am 72, I can't wait to see your Mom's video.
Fascinating information. Phil really knows his stuff. Respect for being so open throughout this video
Laura, THIS video. Holy sh*tballs. I’ve been wondering what these tests involve, how to get it done, who with?!? And now here’s Phil. AND he’s Welsh! Thank you for stepping up, showing up and being transparent. It’s so helpful for us viewers. So much Love to you 💖💖💖🍾ps. Many symptoms and lifestyle habits are similar. Very interested to hear what comes out for me. Xx
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.
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 🙏
Excellent episode!!! Here in the US it is very expensive to get these tests. They are essential if someone is not feeling well. They are life saving for women in menopause. There’s a huge disservice to women and their needs as we age. Keeping hormones and nutrients balanced can mean the difference between having a happy functioning life and being miserable.
Really refreshing to hear someone speak correctly about cholesterol and it's context.
Keep up the good work, LT.
My mom will be 75 and dealing with colon cancer, just diagnosed. I am in my late 40s. Find this so very informative! Why are these tests not made for all as a preventive measure?!!!
Because there’s not money in keeping people healthy! :(
Phil is like a gnarly charismatic South Wales TV detective but solving illness rather than crime!
I had exactly the same problems. I started eating a lot of meat, fish and eggs. And less vegetables and no fruit. My health really really improved. Loads of energy.
I am a year behind but THANK YOU for posting this! This is the kind of care I have been trying to desperately to find!
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 ❤
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 TH-cam so well!
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!!!!!
@@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!
I just found you, Laura. You're awesome, inspirational. I wish we had Phil's services in the U.S. He knows what he's doing for sure. Thanks for sharing.
Well done you for putting yourself through these tests and taking on the information to make changes. Congratulate yourself.
I'm SO happy I found your channel; you are fabulous! Thank you for all the info you're sharing... your Mum is a gem!
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 TH-cam these days. Keep on going. Rooting for you to hit 100k subs!!
Phil seems pretty great, really knows his stuff. Thanks for sharing this insightful journey!
Just amazing - I love your content and lovely personality and Charlie 💕
Really good video. Thank you for being so honest and vulnerable online, and setting yourself apart from those who are not.
Really wish I could afford to have these tests!
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
Wow, such a great video and very interesting, I watched the whole thing! Thanks for sharing all of that. I love how Phil explains all the blood work and tests, he's amazing! I hope you continue to feel better ❤
I'm 51 and feel like shit, had blood tests galore to be told that everything is normal..my joints ache my hands and wrists are killing me to the point that I can't hold my tennis racquet anymore or a hammer at work.
My quality of life has gone down hill every year since my 40th.
This is inspiring me to get fit eat better or differently train as well as I can and see what I can do..
Thank you for this fantastic video
Hey Roger, I am sorry to hear about how you are feeling.
Do yo have the funds to visit someone like Phil?
I would totally recommend it!!!
This is absolutely brilliant 🤩 Thank you so much for sharing your experience. 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 ❤
Funny. My blood tests came in just as I started watching this video. I have a very different situation and recommendations, but it definitely includes protein, whole foods and strength training.
I'm looking forward to hearing more about your progress -- and your mom's progress. The sauna video sounds cool too.
Best wishes onward.
Hey Ken, excellent work for getting your bloods done.
It seems strength training and whole foods in on the agenda for many, if not all.
The sauna video should be up soon!
How does one get blood tests with Phil.
@@magicsupamoggie I got blood tests where I am. You can get the tests from any lab or your doctor and have the results forwarded to anyone you want to work with. I'm working with my own nutritionists/medicos in my area, covered by my insurance. (Doctor's normally test a limited number of things, so I'm still doing my own research to learn what extra tests to ask for.)
Laura has a link in the description for Phil's web page. His web page has more information on working with him online or in person.
I am over the moon to hear about your new found health. I loved this video. ❤
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!
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!
This is one of the best Videos you have done. I have removed all veges ( oxalate reactions) and prioritise fat and protein and have seen huge results in strength increase and inflammation reduction, 2 things that will increase my longevity while maintaining my well-being. I really appreciate the effort you put into these videos. Thanks Ross
wow, first sentence! Thank you Ross!
It really feels like one of the best things I have done in my life.
I appreciate your support and comments 🙏🏼
I need to book it across the pond and schedule a visit with this genius of a man!
Best video yet. A lot of women believe that doing lots of cardio and eating low fat rabbit food is "healthy" but it often leads to depression, fatigue, hunger and raging PMT. It can be cured by adopting a keto/paleo/carnivore diet. Reducing cardio and starting to lift weights helps a bit too.
I'm pleased you liked the video!
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!
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...
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...
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.
I love that they yelled at you all the time, but when you felt wasted, they pushed you on, and built all of your confidence back up,,,,your mother are very cute & look younger...you are a great women's 👨❤💋👨💋❤❤💖💕👨❤👨💗💌💓💟💟👰
I'm so glad I clicked on this video I've learned so much thank you Laura!
Great to see you thrive again, thanks for the informative and open video.
Excellent video on many levels. I’m really sorry for the pain you’ve endured despite really trying to do everything right. I want to try and help, and I have no credentials or even “knowledge”. I’m 21 years ahead of you and have a few thoughts to share.
1. As you get older, you can really start to notice things on a much faster pace. Like if I eat crap food, I notice it immediately, whereas before I could eat whatever and would notice at all. Grocery store meat, lethargic. Grass fed no bs meat from a farm, immediately feel way better. Yes, it’s double the cost.
2. Laughter, stress, companionship, purpose, passion, love, spirituality that really rings true. Your mental state has a massive impact on your physical state.
3. Trust your gut, your inner you, or your guides if you will. We are are told such bs by sometimes really well meaning people that say eggs are bad and the yolks have too much bad cholesterol, then 30 years later they say, yes, but they also have something in them which completely negates the bad. Or tamatoes cause inflammation, the the same thing comes out like eggs and the net effect is they reduce inflammation. Or those shots are good (maybe not so much). You have to ask your inner self questions and listen for the answers. At some point in getting older, you really learn to trust your gut because it has had a track record of never leading you wrong. If it did, maybe your ego got in the way. Some people will never get that.
4. It’s a journey of learning, and learn to enjoy the ride!
Thanks for your authenticity. This can help others.
I'm in the keto/carnivore world and seeing you add more real protein to your diet and benefit from it is so exciting to me. I'm looking forward to seeing the rest of your journey on this. Phil seems to knowledgeable in what he does and I learned a lot. Especially with the fasting.
This is extremely inspirational. Thank you so much for sharing!
I'm so happy for you! I also lol'ed when you lip synced over your mom. I look forward to seeing her make an appearance on the channel. Take care, Laura, and thanks for sharing.
hahaha, she wasn't too happy with that bit as she didn't have her make-up on 😆
I am really looking forward to her having her blood analysed!
Thanks for the comment 🙏🏼
Hi Laura, I just wanted to pop past and say a huge thank you for sharing this experience. Like what others have said in the chat, this video really clicked for me. Since seeing this I have met with Phil and so pleased with how I am feeling since following his advice. Thank you again, you are doing amazing stuff🙏
This is great to hear that you're doing so well. Thanks for your feedback Kate.
@@WendaRichards-sg7vb Thank you so much Wenda, and thanks for your continued support and help along the way! My breakfast fruit juices wouldn't be the same without you🤣😂🥤
I stumbled across this video by accident. What incredibly educational and inspirational content. I'd be so interesting in having my bloods done too.
Thank you for this video, so interesting! I've decided to do the blood test with Phil after watching this. I am really looking to my consultation in 9 days time! And I am looking forward to your next video on your second blood test! I enjoy all of your videos as well
How did it go?
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!!
Citrus fruit and coconut water are great for potassium and seaweed thins are great for iodine :) thanks for sharing this and I really hope you start to feel better soon!! I really need to work on my nutrition (my gp told me about the potassium sources which are better than bananas) and there’s nothing to be embarrassed about xxxx p.s. I don’t know if you’re aware but tannins in green teas and teas disrupt nutrient absorption so you also might want to be careful not to drink tea around snacks and meals (you might know that already tho!) xx
Oh my goodness Laura thank you this video was amazing. It’s totally the journey I’m on right now too. Health is wealth and for me nutrition is my medicine! I’ll definitely check out Phil and you’ve inspired me to go and do a weights session at the gym on a Friday night!!! 🙌🙌🙌 keep up the awesome work and content 🙏⏰
I’ve just come across your videos & find them very informative. Well done for taking steps to improve your health (& your mum’s). I have no doubt you are on the road to optimum health. Phil’s explanations were great. Most people will find issues in their bloods & stools only when problems rear up. It’s a shame that when the GP does an annual check that more comprehensive checks, with blood & stool analysis, are not done. I know it may be more expensive in the short term but would save so much more money in the long term. When tests are done you are none the wiser. GPS don’t give a detailed explanation of your tests unlike Phil. If a problem is flagged (often after months or years) they are far too general in their explanation & offer no real help in addressing the issue. Getting information from my GP is like extracting blood from a stone.
So looking forward to your mom's video! Thank you for sharing all you are learning.
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.👍
this was so interesting, thank you for sharing ! it's wild to think that our diets can have such a huge impact on our mental health
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!
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.
This was incredibly fascinating. Thank you for sharing! As a strength-training beginner, I would love to see a video about where to start and how to add it into a fitness routine.
I will make that video in a few weeks Charlotte 👍
@@LauraTryUK Great video Laura and wonderful that you are seeing improvements already! Great Job!!!
Love to see a video on how to start strength training too :o)
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'm male, 58y/o. It was interesting to see your 6 week summary towards the end of the video. I started keto/carnivore and taking various natural supplements about 18 months ago, along with intermittent fasting (normally eating twice a day within a 6 hour window with the odd 24 hour fast) to improve my overall health and to avoid unnecessary medical immunisations.......!!! My exercise regime is strength based plus I normally average around 100,000 steps per week. My results have been similar to yours in relation to my general health, brain fog etc. I lost the 2 stones or so of body fat I wanted to lose within the first few months. I've never done any of the blood testing you did but I know I am far healthier now than I was 18 months ago. My resting heart rate has reduced from the mid 60's to high 50's, my skin ailments have cleared up, I no longer snore, I have more energy and now have a "6 pack" for the first time sine my late teens lol....................
So happy for you. I'm glad you are feeling better.
Laura. What an Eye opener. I am tired all the time. Insomnia. Was doing low carb and intermittent fadti g. Strangr o eat so little but hungry really after 24hrs. Hard time losing belly fat.
I'm midway through the video. Big thanks to Phil for the interpretation of your results.
Just found you. You warm my heart and inspire me. 🙏🏼
Love you Laura! Positively inspiring.. I'm talking to Phil really soon x
Laura, what a brilliant, honest and detailed video. So glad you are feeling and getting better. I'm looking forward to seeing the results of your new programme over the next year. I'm 59 in a few weeks and will be retiring soon from the police after 24 years and 10 in the army before that. I think I'm reasonably healthy but I think Phil is just what I need to see if my body is in the 'bits' I suspect it's in! You're so right we only get one go on this mortal coil and something like this is definitely an investment in ones own health. Thank you for highlighting. All the best, Clive. 😎
Wow, thank you for doing great job for all those years 🙏🏼
I would 100% recommend Phil to assess your current health, and get you back on track if you need it. Drop him a line and see what he can do for you: www.philrichardsnutritionlab.co.uk/contact-phil/
Thanks for the comment.
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.
Laura, I found you when I was searching for fasting inspiration about 2 years ago. I watched your video and found you so inspiring. So even after fasting I came back periodically to see what you've been up to. I just wanted to take a minute to write and let you know that I really enjoy the content you put out. I find you to be very inspiring and just a very nice breathe of fresh air.. Thank you for sharing you. 😊
Wow, just wow what a turn around in you. I am really looking forward to a video on your mum if she does the weight training as well. Excellent video, thanks for doing this. ps your mum is cool.
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.
I exercise at our local senior citizens center 3-4 times a week. I would love to see more of your mum perhaps (pumping iron) :). and doing balance exercises. Lifting heavy things is so good for everyone. I have been working out 1.5 years now. I’m glad those headaches have subsided. Great program
Hey Frost, I have some plans for my mum, she doesn't know yet 😜
Awesome work for keeping fit!
Fantastic video, thank you! Phil is the best!
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! ❤
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.
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.
Just to update: it was magnesium! Feeling much much better!
Wow. Thank you for sharing this information with us. I’ve been struggling with feeling not quite right for years. And lately my joints just ache all the time. Have digestive problems on and off, tired a lot, and I know my muscle to fat ratio is off. You’ve encouraged me to do this testing to see what’s going on with me. ❤❤❤
This was great. I'd really love to get these tests done. I relate to all of your pre test symptoms.
What a great video. Thank you for sharing - fascinating. As a 51 yr old, newly menopausal woman, I have had a few blood panels done over the last few years but nothing this detailed. I have been making similar changes to my routine through self education not really knowing where else to go. But I see Phil is local to me too, so now I know! So happy to hear you feel better. We all deserve optimal health
Wow Laura, what an amazing video. So informative and in such a relaxing and approachable manner. So helpful and such a vast amount of thought-provoking information. Please keep up this series as I think so many of us need insights as to what information is out there and how impactful it could be! Thank you!
Thank you for doing AND sharing this! I’ve been thinking of testing my blood for the last 6-8 months and now I’m ready. Keep going Laura!! 😊
I highly recommend it. I'm going to say it has been life-changing, life-improving procedure!
Thank you for sharing your journey with us. Appreciating the knowledge!
I feel really hopeful for your future health. So many of those seem to be simple if not not simple and quick additions or mods that will make a huge difference, especially the electrolyte supplementation and possibly the protein. Best of luck in your journey. 😊
Loved this video. Blood work is so important but finding someone to interpret it accurately is the real genius. Thanks for highlighting this. I really think it has to be the future for the NHS to survive proactive rather than reactive.
Love your philosophy Laura try.
Another guy who's really adamant about blood work is Dr Sten he's on you tube a former decathlete and now holistic Dr.
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
Brilliant Laura . I could relate to most of what you were saying.... so glad its helped and will be sharing this x
I am so pleased you found it useful Jacquelyn!
@@LauraTryUK I send as many women as possible to Phils group. They are both so supportive. I a. Week 4 into my changes . Much better.. x thank you for sharing this. Brilliant video skills..
Wow... Amazing work. Amazing video, I am impressed. 😮😮😮😮
Very interesting video, thank you for sharing. Hope you’re on the mend 😊
Great video, eye opening really ,so honest and brave of you to speak so openly about your health.
Keep up the good work and wishing you all the best
Thank you so much for the nice comment Kieran 🙏🏼
Love love love your vids, the helpful, relative info and especially the inclusion of your mum, be blessed and keep on blessing ❤ love from New Zealand 😊
thank you - so illuminating in how symbiotic these blood markers are
Wow Laura, sending you love! ❤ I’m so glad you listened to your inner wisdom that something was off and were able to do these tests. This really inspires me to look into my own health even more. Thank you for sharing so openly.
Welcome back and good luck bab x
