Feeling exhausted, anxious, bloated, foggy, or just not yourself—even though doctor visits end in more questions than answers, and your labs come back “normal”?

Having health concerns as a teen or college student can be concerning when you're not sure what's going on. But not getting clear answers can be even more stressful, frustrating and sometimes, feel hopeless.

In this chat with functional medicine practitioner Hali Laricey we break down 5 key blood markers often missing from common blood work that most patients don't know about -- and how having them can be the key to revealing what’s really going on in your body.

You’ll learn:

Why “normal” lab ranges can still miss root causes

The 5 blood markers that point to bacterial, viral, or inflammatory stress and why this matters  

How gut health, food quality, and chronic stress affect mood, energy, and focus

Why anxiety and fatigue are often symptoms, not the real problem

How teens and college students can advocate for themselves at the doctor

This episode helps teens and college students feel informed and empowered —not overwhelmed—about their health.
