Ep. 119: Thyroid Thursday #4 — What Happens When the Labs Don’t Line Up With How I Feel?

It’s time for another episode of Thyroid Thursday! Today, we dive into what to do when lab results don't provide clear guidance on how to help a client. I love this question because it gives me the chance to share my philosophy on the foundations of health and why we shouldn't rely solely on lab tests in functional medicine. I get into the importance of foundational health practices and how my three-pillar system, the Thriving Thyroid Method, can help women achieve optimal health before even looking at lab results. Starting with these foundational elements is crucial and can lead to substantial improvements in health, even before introducing lab tests such as the HTMA test you’ll often hear me talk about on other episodes. I also discuss the role of toxins and trauma in health dysfunction and how we address these underlying causes by first establishing a solid foundation. This episode offers a practical take on lab testing and my personal health philosophy for anyone looking to improve their health holistically. Tune in to learn why addressing hydration, nutrition, sleep, stress, and movement should be your first steps and how labs can then be used to fine-tune your health journey and get you back to thriving. If you have a question you’d like me to discuss on the next Thyroid Thursday, please email me at [email protected] or [email protected] or DM me on Instagram @shetalkshealth.
