Blood analysis - do I need to have my hormones tested?

This part of our educational series is a loose continuation of the last part, in which we dealt with the biochemical analysis of blood. Today we will also focus on blood analysis, but we will move from biochemistry to hormones. We'll tell you what you should get tested for, what to watch out for, and why proper hormone levels are very important. Our regular guest who will try to explain everything to you is Supertrainer.
