Today's show features your favorite Nurse Practitioner Lindsey, and your resident Mindset Guru, Laken offering a behind-the-scenes look at functional lab testing and interpretation, showing how even health-conscious individuals can have surprising imbalances. The ladies dive into Laken's most recent comprehensive blood work to demonstrate how functional medicine approaches health optimization differently than conventional medicine.

• Understanding blood sugar markers beyond just glucose – why insulin matters even when other values look normal
• The importance of comprehensive thyroid testing and why Free T3 is the most important marker for energy and metabolism 
• How hormone levels impact energy, muscle building, and overall vitality
• The relationship between stress and various biomarkers, including insulin, thyroid function, and sex hormones
• Practical strategies for improving lab values without resorting to unrealistic protocols
• Why optimal lab values differ from "normal" ranges on standard lab reports
• The value of working with a health coach to implement sustainable changes based on lab findings
