Functional Lab Markers That Actually Matter

In today's episode, Haylie Pomroy speaks with Dr. Angela Taylor, Doctor of Clinical Nutrition, to discuss how laboratory testing is conducted and applied within a personalized medicine framework. They explore why obtaining a micronutrient panel that evaluates intracellular levels is essential, what components should be included in a comprehensive thyroid panel, and which markers warrant careful evaluation when a patient presents with elevated antibodies. Dr. Taylor also recommends laboratory options for patient testing, explains how free, reverse, and synthetic T3 and T4 influence physiological function, and discusses how iron, ferritin, and vitamin D interact to support overall health and metabolic balance.
