The quality of the blood test and the accuracy of the information for your therapist depend a great deal on correct preparation. In this article we provide both basic and additional information, as well as links to other sources. Besides the basic advice that applies to all patients having a blood test, endobiogenics places particular emphasis on limiting physical exertion and on menstruation:
- Avoid physical exertion before the blood test (do not exercise for at least two days) – there should be no muscle fatigue, or your muscles should be fully recovered.
- For women, hormone test results are influenced by physiological factors related to the menstrual cycle. So if you are a woman consulting an endobiogenics specialist about sex hormone issues (menstrual cycle disorders, fertility questions, PCOS, etc.), we recommend having the tests done on day 19-21 of your cycle, or, if your cycle is regular, 5-7 days after ovulation.
