Read your own labs (5)
The guidebook "Read Your Own Labs" by Dr. Tabatha is a patient‑focused health roadmap that teaches women how to move beyond the conventional "normal" lab ranges and aim for "optimal" values that support hormonal balance, energy, metabolism, and overall vitality. It begins by challenging the notion that "normal" equals healthy, then walks readers through ordering their own functional labs (via Function Health or Ulta Labs) and preparing to interpret the results. The core of the guide is a series of lab‑specific sections—Vitamin D, inflammation markers, blood‑sugar, thyroid function, and sex hormones—each explaining what the test measures, why a result may be sub‑optimal, and concrete natural actions (supplements, diet, gut‑healing programs, intermittent fasting, stress reduction) to correct it. Throughout, Dr. Tabatha emphasizes the gut as the foundational organ that influences hormones, metabolism, and inflammation. The guide also provides an appendix of optimal reference ranges for thyroid, hormone, vitamin, and metabolic panels, and lists recommended supplements and programs (e.g., Thyro Lift, Progest Lift, Gluco Tame, Omega Lift, Fast‑to‑Faith Gut Healing). The tone is supportive, instructional, and empowering, with a clear call‑to‑action for readers to order labs, use the optimal ranges, and follow the step‑by‑step healing plan.
