I’m joined on this episode by Emily Morrow, blood work expert, IHP (Integrative Health Practitioner) & FNTP (Functional Nutrition Training Practitioner). Emily has a thriving online practice where she works with clients and trains other practitioners in the expert use of blood work to find the root cause of health conditions.
Emily has talked at conferences across the country and has built a knowledge base that is helping to change how blood work is used in functional medicine.
We break down “normal” lab results that don’t match how you feel and show how to read common markers for early signs of insulin resistance, thyroid drag, gut inflammation, mold patterns, and more. Emily Morrow shares a practical sequence for stabilising glucose, supporting digestion, lowering toxic load, and tackling deeper issues with clarity.
• why reference ranges drift and hide early dysfunction
• fasting insulin and TG:HDL ratio as early metabolic flags
• thyroid clues in calcium, AST/ALT, and lipids
• cholesterol’s link to hormone synthesis and fertility
• where to start when symptoms are vague
• metals displacing minerals and blocking metabolism
• Bartonella patterns and supportive botanicals
• mold signals in CO2, urinary pH, ADH, specific gravity
• gut markers: globulin, BUN, and hs‑CRP
• a stepwise plan: stabilize, soothe, drain, bind, then target
• simple ways to reduce daily exposures and track progresslth.
Listen and find out how you can eliminate blood sugar dysfunction, balance hormones, improve immediate & long-term health and even address autoimmune disorders.
