On this part 2 episode in our functional medicine series, we discuss Lab testing 101: the Whole-Hearted Eating Way. Cristina and Dana dig into how they use labs in their practices as a way to bring neutrality to the conversation, the types of labs they use, why they use them. They give you examples of how they interpret blood work, stool testing, hair mineral analysis testing, and other functional tests to help dive deeper into your health and symptoms using an add-in nutrition way, rather than a restrictive mindset. Because people are not just a set of symptoms and data points from functional labs or bloodwork!
