Still feeling tired, bloated, moody, or stuck — even when your doctor says your labs are “normal”? You’re not crazy, and you’re not alone.

In this episode of The Metabolic Edit, I’m breaking down the functional lab tests I use with clients to uncover what standard bloodwork often misses. These are not your basic labs — they reveal hidden root causes behind hormone imbalances, gut issues, chronic fatigue, and slow metabolism.

You’ll learn:

  • Why conventional labs can come back “normal” while you still feel awful
  • What glyphosate, mold, and gut pathogens do to your energy and hormones
  • How tests like the GI-MAP, DUTCH Plus, glyphosate panels, and mycotoxin screens actually work
  • When functional testing is worth it — and what to address first if you're not ready to test
  • The truth about genetic testing (and why it’s not your destiny)

This episode is your crash course in going deeper — so you can stop symptom-chasing and start building a body that works with you again.
