5 Hormones That Keep Patients Stuck (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Exhausted after a full night's sleep. Mood swinging in ways you don't recognize. Clothes that fit in the morning and don't by evening. Labs that come back normal. And a quiet voice in the back of your head saying maybe I'm just overreacting. You're not overreacting. You've been measuring the wrong things.

7 Ways To Get Around Medical Gaslighting (opens the original)
Read excerpt
She has trained over 70,000 functional medicine practitioners. She has also sat in the exam room as a patient being told her labs were normal while she could barely get out of bed.

Dr. Z is a functional medicine doctor who has trained 70,000 practitioners. She is also still a patient living with a primary immunodeficiency and a chronic autoimmune condition. Her own primary immunodeficiency went undiagnosed for more than 30 years. In this episode, she explains why clinicians are trained to think of horses
Your Labs Are Normal. So Why Do You Feel Like Crap? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
You don't want anything wrong with your labs. But you also know something is off. So why don't the two line up? This episode is Dr. Z breaking down one of the most common and most frustrating experiences in healthcare — feeling terrible while being told everything looks fine. Not because your doctor is wrong or bad at their job. But because the system they're working in wasn't built to find what you're dealing with. Lab ranges are geographic averages.
