Labstories
Labstories exists to help you understand your labs and optimize your health. Because of the direct-to-consumer lab movement, there are now thousands of health conscious people who have their results, but don't what they mean or how to make them better!
If that's you, welcome to Labstories, where we help you understand your labs and optimize your health.
This podcast will tell stories about the CBC, CMP, A1c, testosterone, estrogen, cortisol, urinalysis, adrenal hormones, and much more!
In each episode we bring a lab to life with a story, clarify the most common abnormalities, teach you what matters, what doesn't, and show you how to move from the red to the black.
I'm your host Dr. Tom Schexnaildre. Let's go!

The anatomy of the kidney, BUN, Creatinine, Cystatin C, causes of acute kidney injury and chronic kidney disease, and my timeless top strategies for reversing CKD, improving hypertension (high blood pressure) and optimizing Health!
To reverse CKD, focus on reversing the top 2 causes: type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure. My timeless top 3 tips:
1. Eliminate (minimize) Ultra-processed Foods
2. Eliminate liquid calories
3. Exercise Properly: Resistance train and emphasize cardio zones 1 & 5
For Hypertension specifically, consider NaCl (salt) intake if you are still hypertensive after eliminating ultra-processed foods. Increase potassium and magnesium intake by eating vegetables, nuts, and seeds (whole foods)
