What is a lipid profile?
A lipid profile is a special blood test that more precisely evaluates your risk for cardiovascular disease. The retail value of this test is approximately $100. It requires that a sample of blood be taken from a vein in your arm after you have fasted for about 12 hours. Fasting means nothing to drink or eat other than water. Your mentor will explain the results of your lipid profile to you in your first session.
