Why Your Labs Look “Normal”—But You Still Feel Off
Functional Testing Secrets to Solve Fatigue, Hormone Imbalance, and Gut Issues

Are you constantly told your labs look “fine,” yet you feel anything but fine?

Fatigue, brain fog, stubborn weight, hormonal chaos, and digestive issues like bloating or IBS symptoms are all signs that your body is asking for help—but your standard lab work isn’t giving you the answers.

In this episode, I’m walking you through the exact functional lab tests I use in practice to uncover the root causes of energy crashes, perimenopausal symptoms, weight loss resistance, gut health imbalances, and more. These tests go far beyond what you're used to from conventional medicine—and they’ve changed the game for hundreds of my clients.

We’re talking about the kind of testing that doesn’t just tell you if something is in range… but shows us if your body is actually functioning the way it’s supposed to. We look at hormone pathways, digestion, detox capacity, mitochondrial energy production, gut microbiome patterns, and even hidden nutrient deficiencies that affect everything from metabolism to mood.

If you’re struggling with low energy, hormone imbalance, unresolved gut symptoms, or just can’t seem to get your health back no matter how “clean” you eat… this episode will open your eyes to what’s possible.

When we shift from asking “what’s wrong?” to “how is my body functioning?”—that’s when the transformation begins. These functional labs don’t just give us numbers. They show us your body's story.

I’ve seen symptoms like IBS, migraines, bloating, insomnia, hormonal weight gain, and even mood swings melt away when we stop guessing and start testing the right way.

You deserve more than “your labs are normal.” If you're ready to finally understand why your energy, digestion, or hormones feel off—even if your doctor says everything looks fine—this episode will give you the insight and empowerment you need.

Why Your Workouts and Diet Aren’t Working: Unlocking the Hidden Hormonal Blocks

Are you doing “everything right” for weight loss—eating clean, exercising daily, cutting carbs—and still not seeing results? If you’re stuck in weight loss resistance, battling fatigue, bloating, brain fog, and hormonal shifts, this episode is for you.

I sat down with hormone fitness and nutrition expert Jenny Swisher to unpack why women in perimenopause and beyond often hit a wall with their metabolism, energy, and gut health despite their best efforts. We explore how chronic stress, adrenal fatigue, and outdated fitness advice can actually sabotage your hormones—and what it really takes to break free from the cycle.

Here’s what you’ll discover in this episode:

• The hidden connection between overexercising, cortisol, and stubborn belly fat—and why doing more cardio might be working against you.

• A subtle hormone shift that could explain your energy crashes and weight gain in perimenopause (and what to focus on instead).

• The #1 nutrition mistake most women make that leads to cravings, low energy, and blood sugar rollercoasters.

This episode is packed with practical insights for reclaiming your metabolism, balancing your hormones, and finally getting the results your hard work deserves.

If you’ve ever wondered why your body isn’t responding the way it used to—or you feel like you’re stuck in survival mode—this conversation will shift the way you think about your health.

Listen now to get the clarity (and strategy) you’ve been missing.
