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.

Cortisol is your body’s built-in stress response — and when it’s out of whack, it drags your metabolism, your energy, and your mood down with it.

It’s not just about stress. It’s about how your body copes with it — and why that coping mechanism might be behind your belly fat, sleep issues, hormone chaos, and cravings that feel impossible to control.

In this episode, I break down:

• What cortisol actually does (spoiler: it’s not your enemy — it’s your survival hormone)
• The real signs of imbalance — from “wired but tired” to full-on burnout
• Why you can’t outwork or out-supplement a cortisol crash
• The habits and hidden stressors that are wrecking your rhythm
• My favorite foods, tools, and labs to help you reset your stress response for good

This one’s for anyone who feels like their body is fighting back — because once you fix cortisol, everything gets easier.
