How important is it to check other blood markers?

[Teed28]

I always thought that when you ran blood work you should stick to liver, testosterone levels, and estrogen levels. But what about other things that are in our blood work that we don't think about. The reason I ask is I can get everything done for an extra hundred dollars from my doctor but if I stick to those three things it's only fifty bucks

well just checking test levels doesn't do enough without LH and FSH too. also glucose is something people need to take more serious. 33% of americans are pre or post diabetic

You need to check your blood before and after cycle for sure.

Especially after pct 2 weeks to make sure you're recovered.
