In this episode, Dr. Stephanie Dunlop joins host Dr. Jaclyn Smeaton to discuss the gap between “normal” and “optimal” lab reference ranges, commonly missed labs, and the importance of root cause assessment over treating isolated markers.

Dr. Dunlop and Dr. Smeaton also discuss:

• How “normal” does not equate to “optimal” when it comes to standard lab ranges
• Addressing the foundations before testing, like nervous system regulation, gut integrity, and sleep hygiene
• The importance of treating the root cause rather than treating markers in silos
• Other labs worth requesting, such as ferritin, homocysteine, and fasting insulin
• The impact of simple nervous system regulation tools
