9. What Your Doctor Didn’t Tell You About Your Labs
You’ve been told your labs are “normal,” but you feel anything but—tired, puffy, gaining weight, and like your metabolism has hit a wall. This episode is your permission slip to stop accepting surface-level answers and start asking better questions.
In this episode, I’m walking you through:
- Why “normal” lab ranges keep women feeling stuck
- The 5 markers most doctors don’t test (but should)
- A real-life client story that changed everything
- How to advocate for yourself without feeling crazy
- And what functional interpretation can reveal that your doctor likely missed
You’ll leave this episode equipped with the right questions to ask, the symptoms to track, and the clarity to finally feel seen, heard, and supported.
🎧 Let’s dig into the labs that actually matter.
