So glad I did this panel!

I struggle with motivation and consistency in making changes without proof of why I’m doing them. I chose this panel due to fatigue and brain fog, and it turns out my ferritin is only 9! My B12 and vitamin D are low, and my insulin is a bit high. Feedback from a Root doctor on how to improve these areas was helpful! I started supplements a week ago and am already seeing positive changes. I also plan to watch videos and use meal plans included in my Access membership.
