Understanding Blood Work + Functional Testing

Disclaimer: This is not medical advice, this information is used for educational purposes only.  In todays episode we talk about the importance of getting you blood work annually, what you should ask for, the differences between 'normal' and optimal ranges, and we take a deeper dive into cholesterol panels, full thyroid panels and what your lab work may be indicating in terms of stomach acid and nutrient deficiencies.  We also discuss the differences between blood testing, saliva testing and urine testing and how functional testing differs from conventional lab testing. Lastly, as always, we discuss that testing is a snapshot in time. This is information that tells us a story, but we work off of symptoms and treat symptoms, not labs. If you are someone who is experiencing symptoms, yet everything is 'normal' - keep digging. Find someone that can help you understand your WHOLE picture, not just the testing snapshots.
