Today's episode is a continuation of last week's episode as I wanted to dive deeper into lab markers and lab findings and give you a real example out in the world and one we've personally helped navigate.

I'll breakdown a case study of a 25 year old client on oral birth control and the many lab marker considerations and what led to her low energy. My hope is that you glean some insight hearing about a real life example and if this sounds like you, this is your sign to reach out to us to finally solve what's been holding you back.
