Listen Later

In the realm of healthcare, knowledge is power. Understanding what's happening inside your body can be a critical aspect of maintaining and improving your health. One of the most valuable tools for gaining this insight is bloodwork. Through the analysis of blood samples, healthcare professionals can assess various aspects of your health, detect potential issues early on, and monitor the effectiveness of treatments. 

In this podcast episode Dr. Barb covers:

  • The significance of blood work when it comes to your health
  • Reference ranges vs. optimal ranges on blood work
  • Why we want to look at optimal ranges and why they matter
  • The importance of keeping records of your blood work
  • Why Naturopathic Doctors run blood work and the importance of that for your health
