I’ve talked about this for years, but this is what real lab work looks like.
In 2023 (1 year postpartum + 2 years into my low-tox lifestyle), I ran a full panel through Function Health to see where my body actually stood. My results were amazing, a true testament to the lifestyle I’ve built.
Since then, I’ve integrated this testing into my 3-month reset with clients… because the difference is that significant.
Here’s the gap most people don’t realize:
Conventional lab ranges = based on the average American (sick, overweight, multiple medications)
Functional ranges = optimal levels
So you get told “everything looks normal” while you’re:
– exhausted
– anxious
– dealing with brain fog
– gut issues
That’s because conventional medicine often waits until markers are far out of range to diagnose…
Instead of asking:
What patterns are forming?
What systems are struggling?
How do we support the body before dysfunction becomes disease?
Functional testing connects the dots - hormones, minerals, inflammation- things that are often looked at in isolation (or not at all).
And this is what makes it so powerful:
You’re not looking at one test… you’re tracking patterns over time.
→ 100+ labs upfront across hormones, thyroid, liver, kidneys, heart + more
→ 60+ labs mid-year to reassess and adjust
→ no insurance needed
This is why I’ve always said the bandaid/refill model is a business… not true healing.
Functional medicine is proactive, personalized, and actually rooted in understanding your body.
I’m about to run another full panel and retest my markers so I figured I’d open the conversation for anyone who’s been curious about going deeper.
If you’ve done functional lab work before, I’d love to hear your experience. If you want more info, I’m always here to chat.
PS: It breaks down to about $1/day (HSA eligible).
