Experimental: This testing technique is still experimental and it is not clear if and when it will become a mainstream test. Visit this site for diet: http://www.choosemyplate.gov. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week. Wish you good health!

Available overseas: This promising test is not entirely accurate yet and thus not approved in the US but you can send blood to a lab in Greece and get it done- see https://www.rgcc-group.com For further discussion see https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4598453/ and https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6024152/
