What labs should you actually be getting? Everyone and their mom is aware of the fact that we need a liiittle more data on our bodies, and we have the availability to get it. In this episode, Erin gives you a complete deep dive through the labs she thinks EVERY woman should ask for, as well as the markers that often get skipped.
Erin also covers cardiovascular and menopause risks, fasting glucose, and the functional labs her team uses most often in practice, including the GI-MAP stool test, DUTCH hormone testing, Wheat Zoomer, and toxin testing, plus when each one might make sense.
If you’re in your 30s, 40s, 50s, or anywhere near perimenopause, this is your reminder to get the data, understand the data, and use it to take action.
P.S. This week, Erin is teaching a 2-day masterclass for practitioners on how to support clients through a woman’s hormonal lifespan. Grab your ticket here!
In this episode:
- Why a CMP, CBC, and standard lipid panel are important, but still very much a starter pack
- ApoB, and why it’s a must-have marker if cardiovascular disease runs in your family
- What GGT can tell us about liver function, oxidative stress, toxin load, bile, and glutathione depletion
- The metabolic health markers Erin wants women tracking before menopause
- When a toxin panel might be the missing piece for chemical sensitivity, skin flares, liver markers, or symptoms that are not budging
