"A few years ago I decided to start the keto diet to fix my brain fog problems and get more fit,” says Base Founder Lola Priego. “What I didn't know back then was that there is no one-size-fits-all diet that works for everybody. Through lab testing, I was able to identify that the fats chosen for my keto diet were raising my ‘bad’ cholesterol level, aka LDL. The results also showed that my thyroid was off, and my constant fatigue was actually derived from a vitamin deficiency problem." Click here to find out what other diet issues Lola’s blood test revealed, and the exact dietary changes that improved her fatigue and brain fog.

IRON
Almost a third of the global population is iron-deficient. Pale skin, inability to concentrate, and fatigue are just some of the signs.
|
|

IODINE
If you’re eating a diet that’s low in fish, sea salt, or dairy products, you could be falling short. Symptoms include unexplained weight gain, constant coldness, and brain fog.
|
|
|
VITAMIN D
D reinforces your bones, boosts your immune system, and tamps down inflammation. Yet worldwide, an estimated 1 billion people are deficient.
|
|
|
VITAMIN B12
Inadequate stores could mean that you lack mental clarity, an ability to concentrate, and an overall good mood.

The best thing you can do for yourself before your next grocery haul
Grocery shopping with an eye on nutritional labels is one thing. Grocery shopping after you’ve taken a good look at your own body’s data is another. To really find out if symptoms such as fatigue, brain fog, and mood swings (plus so much more) could be traced to the foods you're choosing to fill your plate and cupboards with, lab testing is key. New to at-home lab testing? We promise: it’s easier, more convenient, and cheaper than you think.
