My First Bloodtest...

So I finally conquered my phobia of needles and got a blood test done for the first time in my life. I'll be turning 32 in 2 weeks and have been vegan since I was 19. I've never been one to track my nutrients or macros or whatever, and I definitely don't eat as healthy or diversely as I should, but my stance has always been that if I'm not dead or dying after this many years of veganism, I must be doing something right lol. I was worried that my test results would be not great (apart from cholesterol, shout out to all the plants) but the only issue is vitamin D deficiency! I live in Canada so that's not at all surprising. Iron, calcium, B12, all that other stuff is fine. People always say "ohhhh it must be so hard to be vegan..." If my lazy ass can be vegan and still have results like that, anyone can make it work for them 😂 I'm overweight and out of shape but I still have decent results!!! Fuck yeah, thanks plants 🥰
