Your Blood Type is a Secret Weapon - Calgary Menopause Wellness Knowing your blood type is a secret weapon for understanding how your body reacts to food. Here are 5 facts you may not have known about.

Accurately determining the iron level in your body requires a combination of blood tests. Just one test alone does not tell an accurate picture of iron stores. Therefore, doctors cross reference one test with another to get an accurate picture. What’s more important with the iron tests is that abnormal numbers can tell a thing or two about inflammation, infection, heart disease, liver disease, and sugar balance problems. So, don’t think that the iron panel just does the mere job of gauging iron stores, it can tell a lot about your health status! 🩸
