86. No, Your Blood Work Probably Isn't 'Normal' Over 40
Description
If your doctor told you your labs are "normal" but you still feel tired, bloated, anxious, or off in your body, this episode is for you. Claudia explains the difference between conventional lab ranges and optimal ones, the patterns most doctors overlook, and how functional blood work can finally give you the clarity and answers you've been missing in perimenopause.
You'll learn:
- Why "normal" lab results don't mean your body is functioning optimally
- The difference between conventional and functional lab interpretation
- Common markers that get dismissed - and why they matter
- What functional practitioners look for that most doctors don't
- How missed patterns can lead to years of unnecessary symptoms
- How we use blood work inside The Perimenopause Method to build effective plans
