Know Your Labs
by Nurses Know Life
Know Your Labs is a weekly show from Nurses Know Life, made for moms who are tired of being told their labs look 'normal' while they still feel exhausted, foggy, and not like themselves. Each short episode breaks down one lab topic or supplement in plain language: what the tests can tell you, what they can't, and what a reasonable next step looks like — from the markers that matter before and after pregnancy to the hormone shifts of your late 30s and 40s. No fear tactics, no miracle claims. Just honest, nurse-reviewed education. Every topic is reviewed by Nicole Kasch, MSN, RN, CFMP, founder of Nurses Know Life. New episodes every Monday.
