129: Top 3 functional labs to help you get pregnant in 2025


Listen Later

In today’s podcast episode, I’m diving into the game-changing world of functional lab testing and why it's revolutionizing the approach to fertility. By examining hormones, nutrients, and your microbiome, functional lab tests provide invaluable insights that can help identify and address the root causes of health problems and fertility challenges, outside of just regular blood labs. Whether you're just starting your fertility journey or have been struggling to conceive, this episode will help you get clear on next steps for additional testing to improve fertility outcomes.

Episode Highlights:

  • Where blood labs fall short.
  • What a functional lab test is and how it differs from traditional blood labs.
  • Different types of collection methods for functional lab testing (urine, saliva, stool, swab) and the benefits of each.
  • Comprehensive hormone testing for understanding hormones and their metabolites.
  • Why hormone metabolites are just as important as understanding your hormone levels
  • Items tested in a gut microbiome test and expected protocol timeline.
  • Items tested in a vaginal microbiome test and expected protocol timeline.
