Why Patients Feel Sick Despite "Normal" Labs: What Every Functional Nurse Should Know
from The Functional Nurse Academy Podcast
This episode is brought to you by The Functional Nurse AcademyIn this episode, I explain why "normal" lab results do not always mean optimal health and how a functional medicine approach can identify dysfunction long before chronic disease develops. I walk through some of the most important functional lab markers for thyroid health, blood sugar regulation, and immune function, while sharing my personal journey with Hashimoto's disease and chronic Lyme disease to illustrate the limitations of conventional testing. I also discuss how functional nurses can help identify patterns, educate clients, and collaborate with healthcare providers to uncover root causes and support lasting healing.
