Your Body is Always Talking — Your Labs Are the Translation
Lab results shouldn’t feel like a foreign language. I break down what they mean, why you should care, and help you understand the insight they provide so you can make informed choices for your health — without medical jargon or scare tactics.
Why Lab Knowledge Matters
You can’t change what you don’t understand. Knowing your lab values gives you the power to make informed decisions, track progress, and talk to your healthcare team with confidence.
