Ep. 11 - Better Than Normal: The Truth About Your Blood Work
<p>In this episode, we're diving into a topic that's a game-changer for anyone looking to take control of their health. Our special guest, MaryAnn Marks, is here to help break down one of the most under-utilized resources in both conventional and functional medicine - The Simple Blood Test.</p> <p><br></p> <p>Conventional ranges are based on averages from a largely unhealthy population or when medication is appropriate, not when dysfunction begins, which means your "normal" might be far from optimal.</p> <p><br></p> <p>And let’s face it, having “normal” health kinda sucks these days.</p> <p>Many of the ranges used in functional medicine, though well-intentioned lack any research-backed validation.</p> <p><br></p> <p>We get into how tighter, research-backed ranges can reveal imbalances before they turn into full-blown health issues. We are covering everything from thyroid hormones and testosterone to blood sugar levels and markers that change during pregnancy and menopause.</p> <p><br></p> <p>How simple and affordable lab markers can help to pinpoint deficiencies and potential health risks early on, allowing you to make proactive changes before diseases are present, and possibly before you experience any symptoms.</p> <p><br></p> <p>We talk about how factors like age, sex, ethnicity, menstrual phase, and even elevation can skew your results making things look normal or abnormal when they are not.</p> <p><br></p> <p>This episode is packed with actionable insights that will empower you to get the most out of your blood work and truly optimize your health. </p> <p><br></p> <p>So, if you've ever been told your results are "normal" but you still don't feel right, this one's for you!</p> <p><br></p> <p>Be sure to check the show notes or send me a dm on Instagram for the Blood Work Prep Guide. There are several common mistakes people make before getting their labwork done that can lead to a misdiagnosis, unnecessary treatments, or being dismissed by a health care practitioner when you know something is off. So, please don’t miss out on that. </p> <p><br></p> <p><strong>The Labsmarts Software:</strong></p> <p><br></p> <p><a href="https://labsmarts.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://labsmarts.com/</a></p> <p><br></p> <p><br></p> <p><strong>MaryAnn on Instagram:</strong></p> <p><br></p> <p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/labsmarts/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://www.instagram.com/labsmarts/</a></p> <p><br></p> <p><br></p> <p><strong>Blood Work Prep Guide:</strong></p> <p><br></p> <p><a href=" https://estrogenevolution.ck.page/bloodprep" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://estrogenevolution.ck.page/bloodprep</a></p> <p><strong>Follow Jessie On IG:</strong></p> <p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/jessie_dotlife/ " target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://www.instagram.com/jessie_dotlife/ </a></p> <p><strong>Your Estrogen Evolution:</strong></p> <p><a href="https://estrogenevolution.ck.page/betalaunch" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://estrogenevolution.ck.page/betalaunch</a></p> <p><strong>Your Optimal Health Blueprint</strong></p> <p><a href="https://jessie.life/optimal-health-blueprint/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://jessie.life/optimal-health-blueprint/</a></p> <p><strong>Chapters</strong></p> <p> 00:00 - Intro and welcome</p> <p>00:36 - Introduction of Maryann Marks</p> <p>01:28 - Maryann's background and health journey</p> <p>02:26 - Learning about blood work and starting LabSmart software</p> <p>03:29 - Understanding blood work ranges and their limitations</p> <p>05:11 - Creating optimal and functional ranges for better health interpretation</p> <p>07:26 - Functional interpretation examples: thyroid and testosterone</p> <p>11:01 - Blood markers during pregnancy</p> <p>13:21 - Impact of elevation on blood markers</p> <p>15:02 - Changes in blood markers during menopause</p> <p>17:28 - Research backing for LabSmart's optimal ranges</p> <p>22:13 - Importance of blood chemistry in functional medicine</p> <p>26:00 - Maryann's hysterectomy story</p> <p>31:13 - Discussion on aging and health</p> <p>33:57 - Final thoughts and where to find Maryann's software</p> <p>34:55 - Sign-off <strong>Disclaimer:</strong></p> <p> This podcast is for general informational purposes only & does not constitute the practice of medicine, nursing, or other professional healthcare services, including the giving of medical advice.
