🚨 Like and comment “link” to get a complete breakdown of each functional lab test I run. Learn which one to start with, what they cover, the specific insights they provide, and how they help dial in symptoms. These tests have CHANGED my life and opened up a different view and angle to my health.

This is a detailed guide that breaks down each test specifically, so you can refer to it when you’re ready. Hope it helps you like it has helped me! 💓 • • • #simplesoulaz #functionallabs #holisitichealth #happyhormones #healingjourney #epigenetics

There are consistently new lab tests coming to the market so Im always trying new tests to see if they’re worth running in clients, but these are what I consistently come back to in practice! Drop any questions in the comments 🤍

Functional Lab Ranges Every Woman Should Know: Here’s what the optimal (functional) ranges actually look like — not just what labs accept as “fine.” 🔹 Fasting Insulin: 2–6 µIU/mL (Above 6 = early sign of insulin resistance) 🔹 Thyroid Panel: • TSH: 0.5–2.0 µIU/mL • Free T3: 3.2–4.4 pg/mL • Free T4: 1.2–1.8 ng/dL • Reverse T3: 10–15 ng/dL • TPO Antibodies: <15 IU/mL • TG Antibodies: <1 IU/mL (Even if TSH is “normal,” you could still have thyroid dysfunction) 🔹 CRP (C-Reactive Protein): <1.0 mg/L (High CRP = hidden inflammation) 🔹 Ferritin: 70–100 ng/mL for women (Low ferritin = hair fall, fatigue, anxiety) 🔹 Vitamin D: 50–80 ng/mL 🔹 Vitamin B12: 600–900 pg/mL (“Normal” isn’t always optimal — especially if you’re exhausted or moody) 💡 These are the ranges I use when assessing clients — because you deserve more than “you’re fine.” 💬 Want help decoding your labs?

Here are three compelling reasons to ditch the trial and error approach: 📈Personalized Insights: Functional labs provide targeted information about your unique physiology, helping identify specific imbalances or sensitivities that contribute to your symptoms. 🔬Comprehensive Testing: Unlike standard tests, functional labs assess a wider range of factors, including nutrient deficiencies, gut microbiome health, and hormonal levels—giving you a holistic view of your gut health. 🔍Guided Healing Protocols: With concrete data, you can create tailored healing plans that address the underlying issues, leading to lasting improvements rather than temporary fixes.

Here’s what I’m doing for health in the new year… 👇 🧪 Functional lab testing → And I’m taking you along with me! I’m going to show you how I read my labs and create a personalized, targeted plan from what they tell. (And how @function makes it easy, clear, and actionable for you to do it, too 🎉) #FunctionPartner The framework we’ll walk through: 🔎 1. Start with your biggest opportunities
Don’t try to fix everything. Focus on the markers that need the most support – these usually unlock the fastest wins in energy, cravings, metabolism, and mood. 📊 2. Look for patterns, not single numbers
One red flag ≠ a problem. Functional testing is all about trends: what’s creeping up, dipping low, or consistently out of range. Patterns reveal root causes and guide smarter decisions. ⚡️ 3. Match your markers to lifestyle levers
 Your labs should direct your action:
 • Deficiencies → target nutrients + Fab Four meals
 • Blood sugar imbalance → protein, fat, fiber, greens
 • Stress/hormone shifts → adjust training + prioritize recovery
 • Inflammation → sleep, stress tools, anti-inflammatory foods This is where the magic happens: data → clarity → personalized habits that actually move the needle. ✨ 🔎 Functional labs take out the guesswork and give you a roadmap so you can support your body with confidence, not confusion.

Chronic bloating, gas, indigestion, abdominal pain — the same symptoms that many doctors & GI specialists will label as IBS without a deeper look, may actually be rooted in microbial imbalances & intestinal inflammation 🦠📈 While traditional medicine often uses antibiotics & PPIs for common GI issues, functional medicine looks to determine & address the root cause — not just to manage your symptoms, but to resolve them for good Functional labs like the GI Map test have absolutely changed the game for my clients because they tell us the WHY behind our symptoms 🚽💩 When we test instead of guess, we can come up with a personalized approach that addresses an individual’s specific needs, because when it comes to gut health there really is no one size fits all approach If you’ve been dealing with GI issues & you’re sick of bandaid approaches & restrictive diets that never seem to provide lasting relief, a comprehensive stool test like the GI Map is what I’d recommend to start! DM me if you’re interested in hearing more about this test 🫶🏼

“Your labs are normal.” But you’re gaining weight. You’re exhausted. You feel like 💩. What your doctor really means is: 🧪 Your labs are “in range” — according to a system built for diagnosing disease, not optimizing women’s health. P.S. Follow me first then COMMENT “LABS” below and I’ll send you the 5 markers every woman needs to check if she wants real results — not another restrictive plan that ignores root cause. So if you’ve ever been told: “Everything looks fine.” “You’re just stressed.” “Try sleeping more and eating less…” And yet… Your hair is thinning You’re cold all the time You can’t lose weight no matter what Your moods are unpredictable You’re exhausted after doing the bare minimum Here’s the truth 👉 ⚠️ Your body isn’t broken. Your doctor is just looking in the wrong places. In my program, here’s what we actually test for: 🧬 TPO Antibodies — to detect autoimmune thyroid issues that “normal” TSH can miss 🌤️ Vitamin D — because low levels = low energy, hormone disruption, and poor immune function 🔥 hs-CRP + Inflammatory markers — chronic inflammation blocks fat loss & fuels burnout 🧠 Homocysteine — high levels impact detox, metabolism, mood, and brain clarity And those are just the beginning. 💡 In my Functional Fat Loss Rx™ program, we stop guessing and start testing. Because you can’t fix what no one’s actually looking at. And you deserve answers — not gaslighting. 👇🏾 Follow me (so my message will come through to you 😊) then COMMENT “LABS” below and I’ll send you the 5 markers every woman needs to check if she wants real results — not another restrictive plan that ignores root cause.

Your labs are important because it’s what sets a foundation for your health internally. If there’s abnormalities in your blood sugar, your liver markers, cardiovascular markers and other system issues, it can relate to your back pain, hip pain, nerve pain and more which can delay recovery. If your internal physiology is not out of whack then you can be sure that disease states will find you. In the case of the back pain or neck pain patient this means delayed recovery and more expensive health care costs that will burden you! Take care of it now to save your future self from the burden of disease! #chiropractic #functionalmedicine #backpain #lab #explore
