Where can I get my mineral levels tested?
I test bloods, including vitamins and iron, regularly. But I have no idea what my zinc and magnesium etc. levels are. Is there a home test kit I can use that doesn't cost the earth?

Am I hypothyroid?
I’m looking for some guidance/information as I haven’t been able to get much clarity from my GP and endocrinologist. I started having all the usual hypo symptoms about 2 years ago; feeling cold, fatigued, weight gain, low moods, brittle hair and nails, skin itching, night sweats, tinnitus, aching joints

blood test - missing bits
HI All The saga of my attempts to get a full test has been achieved by paying 35 quid for a blood draw after 2 failed attempts with finger pricks. Thyroxine stuff all came out in the results first time and has been discussed separately so am only looking for comments on the items below : ferritin

19 struggling with ectopics
Hi all, I just wanted to come on here for a bit of advice or just to share what I’ve been struggling with recently, I’ve struggled with ectopic beats for over a year now, and they have been manageable as they have predominantly been quite spread out or predictable, and the only bad episodes happening

Magnesium for RLS
Iron supplements never worked for me (and my serum ferritin has never been low anyway);
magnesium
oxide
did not work (it's not easily absorbed, you're paying for expensive urine); magnesium oil spray didn't work for me, but it does work for some.

Magnesium recommendations
I have used the better you sprays for a while and they are helpful, but dry my skin out over time. I tried magnesium citrate from Holland and Barrett but the pills are uncomfortable to swallow and didn't seem to help. I then tried the vita biotics brand which contains dihydroxide, and they are great

Started my grandmother on TTFD
I am my grandmother's primary care taker. I recently learned about HDT and decided to try it on her. Every morning I videotape her eating, which I will use to see if her condition gets better or worse over time. She is 87, having parkinson's for at least 25 years. In the last year her on-state dyskinesia

Omeprazole and RLS

I’ve been reading about long term effects of Omeprazole and learned that it can cause lowering of magnesium levels. I’d like to try coming off Omeprazole but wonder how long I’

Can I combine Vitamin K2 and Edoxaban (Lixiana)? (Dr. Stephen Sinatra)
Hi. I'm 45 y old male that got diagnosed with persistent Afib back in beginning of November. I have been reading a book by Dr. Stephen Sinatra (Reverse Heart Disease Now) He was known as a doctor who was sick of seing the same patients return to hospital again and again. He called it revolving door

Managing the symptoms of an overactive thyroid
I have hashimotos, I take levothyroxine. I am ridiculously sensitive to my thyroid levels. At the moment I am going through the menopause, which affects my thyroid levels. They swing up and down. We have fiddled with my meds to get them to the best average and there is no point changing them again because
