231. When Normal Isn’t Optimal: What My Labs Revealed—and Why You Deserve to Feel Better Before You Get Sick🤒

Get on the waitlist for Functional Health Coaching HERE.

If you’re constantly tired, struggling with brain fog, or just feel off—but your doctor says your labs look “normal”—this episode is for you. Tanya shares the deeply personal results of her own foundational functional lab testing and explains why so many high-capacity women are dismissed by conventional medicine. You'll learn what functional labs can reveal that standard testing misses, how chronic stress hijacks your health before disease shows up, and why now is the best time to start healing.

Whether you’re in perimenopause, leadership, or simply carrying more than your share, you don’t have to keep pushing through. This episode is your reminder: You are not imagining your symptoms—and you don’t have to wait until you’re sick to feel better.

In This Episode:

• Why "normal labs" don’t always mean optimal health
• What Tanya discovered through her own hormone, gut, and metabolic lab testing
• How chronic stress and inflammation show up before disease
• What makes functional health testing different (and empowering!)
• Why this is the ideal window for rebuilding your health naturally
• How to explore your own healing path with faith and science working together

I hope this episode blesses you!

Xoxo,

Tanya
