My doctor lost his medical license and I live in a rural part of America. I have gotten conflicting information. What labs and vitamins were you advise to have?

Thanks for posting this. I am temporarily changing my supplements based on my program's suggestions for pregnant and nursing mothers, but I like comparing and contrasting and staying up to date on what, when and whys.
