How to Read Your Blood Work Like a Skin Detective
In this episode of To The Root, Robyn Spangler takes you behind the numbers to uncover what your blood work is really saying about your skin.
If you’ve ever been told “everything looks normal” while your skin continues to flare, this episode will help you understand why “normal” lab ranges don’t always mean optimal health. Robyn explains how to interpret your results through a functional lens—identifying subtle imbalances that conventional medicine often overlooks—and how to connect those findings to your skin symptoms.
From the difference between disease-based and functional ranges to practical examples of what real root-cause interpretation looks like, this episode empowers you to become an informed participant in your healing process. Robyn also discusses the importance of pairing lab data with your personal story and shares how The Clear Skin Lab creates individualized plans that go beyond quick fixes or one-size-fits-all supplement protocols.
Tune in to learn how to decode your labs, identify your unique root causes, and take strategic action toward lasting, healthy skin.
