10: Beyond ‘Normal’: Decoding Your Bloodwork with Michael Rutherford, NTP, FBCS
On today’s show, expert practitioner Michael Rutherford joins me to talk all things functional blood chemistry - aka how to actually decode your labs (no med school required 🙌). 👀🕵🏼♀️
We’re diving into:
🩸 Why “normal” ranges can be misleading
🔍 Which 5 tests you actually need to run (and what they mean)
💥 How to advocate for yourself with your provider
…and yes, I asked which labs shift during pregnancy and postpartum 👶✨ (we even go through my labs!)
If you're craving clarity and deeper insight into your health, this is one to bookmark 🎧💡
