Bloodwork is often considered routine—but what if it held deeper insights than most providers ever mention? In this episode, we explore the world of functional blood analysis and how subtle patterns in hematology can reveal chronic stress, nutrient depletion, infection, organ burden, and even emotional imbalances before they escalate into illness.
Standard lab ranges may say “normal,” but normal doesn’t always mean optimal. With a trained eye, blood becomes a map—a set of hidden clues that can guide real, root-cause healing.
Joining us is Dr. Sarah Outlaw, a board-certified Doctor of Holistic Health, clinical master herbalist, and functional nutritionist with over 20 years of experience helping people get to the root cause of their health issues. She owns a busy natural health practice, a kava bar and coffee shop, and lives on a farm where she raises animals, vegetables, flowers, and medicinal herbs. A wife, mom of five, and passionate educator, Sarah blends real-life experience with clinical expertise to empower others to take control of their health naturally.
In this episode, we cover:
- What most doctors miss in standard blood panels
- Why “within range” isn’t always healthy
- How to spot early signs of liver stress, chronic infection, adrenal fatigue, and immune dysregulation
- The emotional and energetic connections to hematology
- How Dr. Outlaw uses bloodwork alongside herbal and nutritional protocols
If you’ve ever been told your labs are “fine” but you know something is off, this episode is your invitation to look again—deeper, smarter, and more holistically.

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage
Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
