Why Your Lab Results Keep Changing:

Dr. Leland Stillman shares his personal lab results from multiple blood draws, revealing dramatic day-to-day variability in key biomarkers including cholesterol, cortisol, and TSH based on travel, stress, and lifestyle factors. This real-world data provides crucial insights for autoimmune patients who often receive conflicting lab results and struggle with hormonal imbalances and metabolic dysfunction.Dr. Stillman discusses optimal biomarker targets beyond conventional ranges, including ideal cholesterol levels for longevity and homocysteine targets for cardiovascular protection. He shares a compelling case study of a patient with treatment-resistant depression who achieved complete recovery through comprehensive hormone replacement therapy targeting testosterone, thyroid, cortisol, and DHEA—illustrating the power of addressing root-cause hormonal dysfunction over symptom management alone.This episode offers essential guidance for patients navigating functional medicine testing, particularly those with autoimmune conditions, chronic fatigue, and hormonal imbalances.
