Ladies, can we talk about blood tests for a minute? 🔬🩷
Have you ever had blood tests come back “normal”, but you’re still exhausted, struggling with brain fog, noticing changes in your hair, or just not feeling like yourself?
I know how frustrating that can be.
With my background as a medical scientist, my work in nutritional therapy and my own personal story - I’m passionate about helping women understand their blood results and the bigger picture of their health.
Standard blood panels play a really important role in investigating and identifying medical conditions. But depending on your symptoms, health history and individual circumstances, there may be other markers worth discussing with your practitioner.
Things like B12 and folate, vitamin D, fasting insulin, thyroid markers, zinc, copper, iron studies and hs-CRP can provide additional information in the right context. Other tests may be relevant for some women, depending on their circumstances.
It’s not about ordering every test on the list or chasing perfect numbers. It’s about asking the right questions, looking for patterns, understanding what your results mean in context, and working out what may be worth exploring next.
