    Have you ever been prescribed a medicine that just didn’t seem to work?  Did you medical provider have to try out several different medicines to find one that DID treat the condition the medicine was being prescribed for?  And what about this…have you ever felt like something was ‘off’ and so you called your providers office and they couldn’t fit you in to the schedule for another month and in the meantime you wanted to get some answers? And maybe you thought…this is how I felt when my vit D level was really low but you didn’t want to just start taking a bunch of vit D without being sure. Or maybe you have a family history of heart disease and want to get a look at your cholesterol and it’s not time for your annual visit. Today I’m sharing 2 cool tools that you might want to think about investing in for your health that can help you with both of those scenarios.   Links Mentioned in this Episode Clarity X https://clarityxdna.com/ Everylwell https://www.everlywell.com/ 10 Facts Women Need to Know to Get the Best Medical Care https://onestrongsoutherngirl.com/10-truths-you-need-to-know-to-get-the-best-medical-care/   👉One Strong Southern Girl on You Tube!
