Which test(s) are best? I am expecting I will need at the very least have to mention them to my doctor or order privately.

Margaret Martin has interviewed Dr. Stuart Sullivan of UCLA Medical School on this topic. You can find the interview on YouTube. Keith McCormick has also discussed these tests and given his thoughts on what constitutes optimal results.
