Free Metabolism Test

Metabolic-test-image

This test is from the book, How to Safely Boost your Metabolism with Food and Habit, and is meant to be a status and progress report for your metabolism. Answer all of the questions before you start your journey, then answer them again every 2-3 months so you can watch your progress.

     The below questions are a great summary of how your organs and systems are functioning together. The only thing missing are blood tests, which you should of course get done on a regular basis with your doctor. I recommend the tests to the right for a holistic picture of your health if you have any unusual symptoms.

Recommended Tests from Doctor

  • Cholesterol (blood test)
  • Blood sugar (BMP test)
  • Complete blood count (blood test)
  • Urine test
  • Blood enzyme test
  • Blood Pressure
  • Adrenal Gland (cortisol – blood test)
  • Thyroid (TSH, T3, T4 – blood test)
  • Hormones (estrogen, testosterone, progesterone – blood test)

If you answered “yes” to any of these Q’s, chances are your metabolism and health could use a boost. You may need to change your foods, habits or both, to get the shift necessary to reach your goals.

You can find all of these answers and more in my book,  Boosting your Metabolism with Food and Habits –  you can also find many of the answers scattered throughout this site.

So look around, and start wherever it feels like you need the most work. Then correct and continue until you get the desired shifts in your metabolism. Once you get stuck, refer to the book for finding your weakest link and improving it.
