Bio Marker Testing With Forth With Life - Part 2

This episode is the second part in a two part series talking about biomarker testing.

If you have not listened to part 1 then do dive in (link below.)

In essence, I utilised a testing service called Forth With Life (baseline plus test) in order to measure a series of bio markers over the last year or so ( initial test Aug 2018, follow up test Oct 2019.)

This episode directly covers Cholesterol, Triglycerides and Lipoproteins (chylomicrons, HDL, VLDL, LDL.) I looks past ‘good’ or ‘bad’ cholesterol lovely people and I hope you find it useful.

Forth with Life are not paying me to say any of this or do any of the testing. I self funded everything and bought their baseline plus test kits, because I was interested in looking under ‘the hood.’
