Not every runner needs these labs! I usually check them when symptoms, training history, or risk factors suggest something more than just a tough training block.

👟 CBC: checks for anemia

👟 CMP: monitors hydration, electrolytes, kidney, and liver function

👟 TSH: thyroid dysfunction can lead to fatigue, poor endurance, and difficulty recovering

👟 Magnesium: important for muscle and nerve function, low levels can contribute to muscle cramping

👟 Iron/Ferritin: even if you’re not anemic, low levels can cause fatigue and decreased endurance

👟 Creatine Kinase: elevated levels are common after hard training but persistently high levels may point to overtraining, inadequate recovery, or muscle strain/injury

👟 Vit D: important for bone and muscle health, low levels can increase the risk of stress fractures and muscle weakness

Train & recover safely! Follow for more 💁🏻‍♀️

Learned this the hard way as a resident but now you don’t have to! 🏡 Drop additional tips below!

Instead of daily aspirin for primary prevention of cardiovascular disease, focusing on proven lifestyle changes can make a greater impact:

🍎 Adopting a heart healthy/Mediterranean diet
🍎 Engaging in regular physical activity
🍎 Managing blood sugar, cholesterol, and blood pressure levels
🍎 Quitting smoking
🍎 Maintaining a healthy weight

If you’ve been on aspirin for decades with no clear indication, talk to your doctor!

Your body is pretty good at using what it needs and excreting what it doesn’t!

So more vitamins/supplements, especially when it’s not needed, does not always mean better! Your body and wallet will thank you later 😉
