Dr. Eric breaks down some lab interpretation pearls and tips!

Welcome to The B-Side! Here we talk about movie stars! Not the movies that made them famous or kept them famous, but the ones that they made in between.  Today we discuss Clint Eastwood, the director and the movie star. Our B-Sides are Breezy, White Hunter Black Heart, Blood Work, Flags of Our Fathers, and The Mule. Our guest is the impeccable Mitchell Beaupre, Managing Editor at Letterboxd.  We talk about Clint's Casper cameo and how that was probably the first thing all three of us saw him in a movie, John Wayne's disdain for Eastwood's on-screen persona, his uncanny direction of actors as well as his smart casting (ahem, The 15:17 to Paris notwithstanding) of actors. Often, if Clint is in one of his own movies, he will surround himself with talent as good (if not better) than himself. There's significant appreciation for his underseen Honkytonk Man, there's honest discussion of his ambitious performance in White Hunter Black Heart (playing a version of filmmaker John Huston), and we three reappraise his Flags of Our Fathers nearly twenty years after its underwhelming release. It's way better than you remember! Additional topics include Spielberg's protégés (from Phil Joanou to Kevin Reynolds to Brad Silberling), Breezy's beautiful rendering of the post-60s counterculture depression, and Blood Work's silly (and wonderful) twist ending.

Why Your Gut Issues Aren't Going Away – In this transformative episode of the Illuminations Podcast, founder Soniyaa Kiran Punjabi sits down with certified nutritional therapist Ayesha Gambhir to uncover the real reasons so many people continue to struggle with gut issues—despite eating clean, taking probiotics, and doing “all the right things.” From chronic bloating to anxiety, from acne to hormone imbalances, they dive deep into the hidden links that conventional medicine often overlooks. Learn how functional testing provides clear answers, how stress and absorption sabotage your healing, and why no two wellness journeys are the same.

For some, the path to motherhood comes with unexpected thyroid challenges—and understanding those hidden imbalances can make all the difference. In this Save My Thyroid Health Audit, Jenny shares her journey with Hashimoto's and secondary infertility, two challenges that often go hand in hand but are rarely talked about together. Despite being told her thyroid levels were “normal,” deeper testing revealed elevated antibodies and imbalances that standard panels missed. We walked through the key tests that matter (from T3 and T4) to functional medicine insights on gut health, stress, and hormone metabolism. We explore how addressing root causes, not just lab numbers—can open new possibilities for healing and conception. Tune in to learn how getting the right tests and asking the right questions can move you closer to healing.Episode Timeline: 0:00 - Episode Overview1:45 - Podcast Intro2:17 - Welcoming Jenny to the Podcast3:10 - Jenny Navigates Secondary Infertility3:24 - Initial OB Visit and TSH Concerns4:04 - Referral to a Reproductive Endocrinologist5:20 - Diagnosis: Hashimoto's and Mild Hypothyroidism6:08 - How Jenny Found Dr. Eric Osanski7:09 - Challenges with Blood Work and Thyroid Testing8:02 - The Importance of T3 and T4 in Thyroid Testing9:17 - Understanding Antibodies and Their Role in Fertility11:24 - Addressing T4 to T3 Conversion Issues12:13 - The Role of the Liver and Gut in T4 to T3 Conversion12:45 - Jenny's Frustration with Rising TPO Antibodies13:34 - The Challenge of Normalizing Antibodies13:58 - The Importance of Diet, Lifestyle, and Identifying Triggers14:22 - Have You Done Any Functional Medicine Testing?15:12 - Jenny's Experience and Interest in Functional Medicine Testing16:14 - Balancing Blood Sugar and Addressing Gut and Liver Health16:46 - Understanding Liver Function and Thyroid Medication17:36 - Minimizing Exposure to Environmental Toxins18:27 - Addressing Iron and Nutrient Deficiencies in Thyroid Health19:02 - Exploring the Role of B12 in Thyroid Health20:28 - Jenny's Focus on Sleep and Stress Management21:52 - Testing for Adrenal Health and Hormonal Imbalances23:19 - The Importance of Functional Medicine Testing for Gut and Adrenal Health24:10 - Next Steps: Diet, Stress Management, and Functional Medicine Testing25:23 - Final Words of Support for Jenny's Journey26:34 - Final Thanks for Jenny's Insights26:52 - Podcast Outro27:13 - Episode Takeaways and ConclusionMentioned in this Episode: Dr. Eric' BooksNatural Treatment Solutions for Hyperthyroidism and Graves' Disease Amazon.com: The Hyperthyroid Healing Diet: Reverse Hyperthyroidism and Graves' Disease and Save Your Thyroid Through Diet and Lifestyle Changes Hashimoto's Triggers: Eliminate Your Thyroid Symptoms By Finding And Removing Your Specific Autoimmune TriggersFree resources for your thyroid healthGet your FREE Thyroid and Immune Health Restoration Action Points Checklist at Do You Want Help Saving Your Thyroid?

Your bloodwork looks normal. Your doctor says you're fine. But you still feel exhausted, inflamed, anxious—or worse. In this episode, Dave Asprey talks with Dr. Daniel Pompa, a leading voice in cellular detox and root-cause healing, to expose the hidden stressors hijacking your energy, hormones, and metabolism—even when your labs say you're healthy. Dr. Pompa shares his personal health collapse and reveals how cellular dysfunction, neurotoxicity, and hormone resistance drive the chronic fatigue epidemic. If you've ever felt dismissed by “perfect” bloodwork, this conversation will rewire how you think about sickness—and show you how to reclaim real, lasting wellness. What You'll Learn in This Episode: • Why your bloodwork can be “perfect” while your cells are on fire • The overlooked hormone resistances sabotaging your energy and metabolism • The 3-legged stool of chronic illness—and what actually drives disease • What “upstream detox” really means, and why most cleanses make you worse • Why toxins trigger genetic expression (and how to shut that down) • How to fix unexplainable fatigue, anxiety, and weight gain from the inside out • Why true healing starts with fixing the cell, not the symptom It's time to stop chasing symptoms—and start upgrading from the root. **Check out Dr. Pompas EXCLUSIVE protocol built for The Human Upgrade listeners at davetestkit.com and use code ‘10OFF' for a discount!** SPONSORS -Zbiotics | Go to https://zbiotics.com/DAVE for 15% off your first order. -Our Place | Head to https://fromourplace.com/ and use the code DAVE for 10% off your order.

Episode Title: From Menstrual Pain to Vibrant Health — Sandra's Journey to Hormonal HealingDISCLAIMER: PERSONAL HEALING JOURNEY!For full disclosure, read further down! In this powerful and emotional episode, Sandra shares her deeply personal health journey — from living with debilitating menstrual pain since her teenage years, to experiencing postpartum depression, migraines, and extreme hormone imbalances after each pregnancy.Doctors guessed diagnoses like MS and Fibro; Doctors gave her pills. Midwives offered hormonal contraception. But nothing truly helped — until she decided to become her own health advocate.

In this episode, Tara breaks down why blood work is one of the most powerful tools for navigating your health — especially in perimenopause and midlife. She explains how conventional medicine often relies on lab ranges based on unhealthy population averages, which can leave many women feeling dismissed even when they don't feel well. Instead, Tara advocates for interpreting labs through a functional, optimal range lens, offering a clearer, more personalized picture of what's really happening in your body. She dives into the most important blood markers to monitor annually to protect against risks like dementia, heart disease, osteoporosis, and type 2 diabetes — including fasting insulin, glucose, HBA1C, glycomark, cholesterol ratios, and liver health indicators. Tara also highlights the nuances of thyroid and iron metabolism in midlife, why oversimplified interpretations can lead to missed diagnoses, and how comprehensive reviews can uncover root causes behind symptoms like fatigue, weight gain, and brain fog. This episode is packed with empowering, actionable information to help you advocate for better care, understand your body's signals, and make informed, proactive choices for your health.   What You'll Learn in This Episode: Comprehensive Blood Work Reviews - Discover the difference between a standard blood test review and a deep dive into the nuances of your results. Interpreting Lab Reference Ranges - Learn why the traditional lab ranges might not always reflect the healthiest standards. Key Metabolic Markers - Understand which markers are essential to monitor for optimal metabolic health and why they're critical as we age. Iron and Vitamin D Insights - Find out why relying solely on ferritin for iron levels and high doses of vitamin D might not be the best approach. Thyroid Health Nuances - Explore the complexities behind thyroid markers and why a comprehensive test is more telling.   Your health didn't decline overnight—it took decades of stress, diet choices, and life events to get to this point. True healing requires commitment, patience, and consistency. The women who succeed are the ones who stay the course, even when progress feels slow. If you're ready to commit to deep, lasting change, BOOK A CONSULT WITH TARA HERE.   You may also enjoy these episodes: Episode 123: Caution should be taken when supplementing vitamin D, iron & selenium.

In this episode, we're continuing with Part 8 of the Back to the Basics series by exploring the vital role that comprehensive lab work plays in healing anxiety and depression. I break down why we take a physiology-first—but not physiology-only—approach, the truth behind the outdated “chemical imbalance” theory, and how functional labs can uncover real root causes that are often missed in standard care.In this episode, you'll learn:Why focusing on your body is often the missing piece in mental health treatmentHow the “chemical imbalance” theory got started—and why it doesn't hold upWhat's often missing from standard lab work and how comprehensive blood testing can uncover hidden drivers of anxiety or depressionWhat markers we include in our custom lab panel and whyHow optimizing your biology creates capacity for deeper healing3 Key Takeaways:Physiology First, Not Only: There's an interplay between physiology and psychology but if your body is depleted or stressed, it changes how your brain functions. You can't mindset your way out of a nervous system stuck in survival mode.The Chemical Imbalance Theory is outdated and debunked. This oversimplified narrative can prevent people from exploring the root causes of their symptoms and keeps many stuck in medication-only treatment plans that don't fully support their healing.Comprehensive Lab Work can take out some of the guesswork. It helps uncover hidden imbalances—like nutrient deficiencies or hormone issues—that may be driving anxiety or depression. It gives you clear, personalized data to support your healing.Looking for more personalized support?Book a FREE discovery call for RESTORE, our 1:1 anxiety & depression coaching program (HSA/FSA eligible & includes comprehensive bloodwork)Join me inside Regulated Living, a mental health membership and nervous system healing space (sliding scale pricing available)Order my book, Healing Through the Vagus Nerve today!*Want me to talk about something specific on the podcast?

Ever wonder how simply eating steak (yes, just steak) could boost your energy, reduce inflammation, and strip off stubborn weight you've carried for years? That's exactly what Dan Sullivan and I are discussing in this special mini-episode on the Carnivore Diet.We're talking “all meat, all the time,” how we navigate restaurants and travel, the surprising drop in food cravings, and the best ways to monitor your health so you know exactly what's happening in your body. Plus, I'll share why I originally decided to go carnivore after battling colorectal cancer—and how it helped clear my IBS issues for good.If you're curious about a diet that strips away the nonsense and might radically improve your blood markers, this is a must-listen. Remember, we're not doctors—just two guys seeing remarkable results.KEY INSIGHTS & TAKEAWAYSCravings DisappearDan noticed that while his meal choices weren't necessarily the problem, the real weight culprit was all the snacks between meals. Carnivore crushed those cravings almost instantly.Rapid Weight Loss & Inflammation ReductionDan went from 203 to 183 in about six months, and I dropped from 185–190 down to 167 in ten months. Bonus: visible abs, less puffy face, more muscle definition.Energy & Clarity SkyrocketSurprise: no “meal crashes,” no nap cravings. My mental acuity soared. Dan's focus remains sharp and consistent, all day.An “Elimination Diet” for Gut HealthI used carnivore to address ongoing IBS issues post-cancer. By cutting out everything but meat, I zeroed in on triggers, which turned out to be a game-changer for my digestion.A Simple Routine: Steak & WaterMy daily go-to is a New York strip in the morning, possibly another at lunchtime, and sometimes a final cut later in the day—salt, pepper, maybe a little butter. Dan just logs his weight daily and keeps it simple.Travel Hacks & Blood MonitoringIt's surprisingly easy on the road (hello, Brazilian steakhouses!). We both get regular lab work and check with our docs. Surprisingly, many markers (including cholesterol) improve.Question the Old Food PyramidConventional food guidelines? Often the result of corporate interests. Always do your own research, test with labs, and trust how you feel above all else.TIME STAMPS[00:00:00] The Carnivore Backstory: Dan's 6-month journey, losing 20+ pounds, and the role Dean Jackson & JJ Virgin played in getting him started.[00:02:57] Cutting Out Cravings: Realizing the biggest weight culprit was snacking between meals, and how pure protein intake solved it.[00:05:10] Mike's 10-Month Experiment:  My IBS, post-cancer rationale for going carnivore and how my steady “steak & water” routine obliterated my gut issues.[00:06:40] Practical Travel Tips: How to manage flights, hotels, and social dinners without falling off the carnivore wagon (butter, grills, and friendly hosts).[00:09:37] Bloodwork & Energy Levels: Dan's regular labs look great, I've seen improved cholesterol and mental stamina. Turns out no naps required.[00:10:38] That Food Pyramid Myth: Why government-backed dietary guidelines can be questionable—and why we rely on data from continuous glucose monitors and quarterly blood panels.If you've ever struggled with stubborn weight, nagging gut issues, or endless sugar cravings, the Carnivore Diet might be worth a closer look. Do your homework, talk to a professional, then see how you feel when you sizzle up that next steak.Additional ResourcesDownload your FREE digital and/or audio version of my bestselling book, “Your Next Act!”Book your $1k Cup of Coffee with me (Mike) here. SUBSCRIBE FOR MORE VIDEOS

How many times has your doctor looked at your blood work and said "you're fine", even though you don't feel fine? This happens because they're reading reference ranges and not looking at you as a unique individual.  In this episode with Leanne Vogel, you're going to learn how to read your own blood work so you can see what your doctor can't.   TOPICS DISCUSSED IN THIS EPISODE: How to read your own blood work What different blood markers mean How to detect things like parasites  What your liver enzymes mean in blood work Understanding your hormones How to advocate for yourself with your blood   More from Leanne Vogel: Website: healthfulpursuit.com Reading your labs: healthfulpursuit.com/labs Podcast: The Healthful Pursuit Instagram: @leannevogel YouTube: @healthfulpursuit Facebook: @healthfulpursuit Email: info@healthfulpursuit.com   Leave us a Review: https://www.reversablepod.com/review   Need help with your gut?

What if your body was sending warning signals years before disease struck—and you could actually see them? That's exactly what comprehensive blood testing offers, yet most people avoid or minimize the importance of regular lab work until symptoms appear. In this eye-opening conversation, fitness coach Derrick Wellock and his wife Cassie, a physician assistant who recently opened Vertical Primary Care within Double Edge Fitness, share their expertise on using blood work as your body's early warning system.Cassie explains how standard lab ranges reflect the average population rather than optimal health, and why "normal" results might still warrant attention, especially for those seeking longevity and peak performance. The couple dives deep into cholesterol testing, revealing why an advanced NMR panel that measures particle size offers far more valuable information than standard lipid profiles. Derrick transparently shares his personal journey with high cholesterol and how coconut oil—touted as healthy in fitness circles—sent his numbers "bonkers" virtually overnight.The discussion challenges common misconceptions about carbohydrates and insulin sensitivity, with both hosts explaining how strategically incorporating quality carbs actually improved Derrick's blood glucose levels. They also tackle hormone optimization for both men and women, providing a nuanced view of testosterone replacement therapy beyond the oversimplified approaches offered by many hormone clinics.Whether you're a fitness enthusiast who assumes external health equals internal health, someone avoiding medical care, or simply curious about preventative medicine, this episode offers practical guidance for using blood work as a powerful tool in your health journey. As Derrick aptly puts it: "Blood work is like your car's dashboard—it tells you when to act before the engine fails."Ready to take control of your health journey? Schedule those labs, establish your baseline, and discover what's really happening beneath the surface. The insights could add years of quality life to your future.Follow us on Instagram here! https://www.instagram.com/doubleedgefitness/

Dr. Kyle Gillett returns to discuss a variety of health topics, including the impact of plastics on health, lab testing for athletes, and the rising concerns around fertility. We spend time in the real issues behind common health narratives, offering practical advice for optimizing lab results and exploring effective treatments for infertility.

Have you ever walked out of the doctor's office, blood test results in hand, only to hear those dreaded words: “Everything looks normal!” Meanwhile, you're exhausted, your hormones are all over the place, your energy is in the basement, and you just know something is off. So now what? Just accept that feeling like a tired, cranky version of yourself is the new normal? Nope, not today. Let me introduce you to a new approach to your health: the DUTCH test. Unlike a standard blood test (which takes a quick snapshot of your hormone levels at one moment in time), the DUTCH test is a urine test that shows you the full story of what's happening in your body over a 24-hour period. It looks at: ✅ Estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and adrenal markers ✅ Free vs. bound hormones (hello, actual usable hormones!) ✅ Cortisol patterns (because stress and energy matter) ✅ Nutrient metabolites like B12, B6, and glutathione ✅ Even neurotransmitters like dopamine and melatonin! Basically, it's like the full diagnostic workup for your body instead of a quick glance under the hood. Imagine going for a bike ride. A blood test is like checking to see if the bike technically has two wheels. A DUTCH test? It's making sure the tires are fully inflated, the chain is running smoothly, and the brakes actually work—so you don't just move, you thrive. And here's the kicker: if you were to order all these tests separately, you'd be looking at over $1,200 (ouch!). But a DUTCH test bundles them together for a fraction of the cost. More info, fewer headaches, and actual insights that can help you feel like you again. So if you're tired of feeling off and getting zero answers, it might be time to take a deeper dive.

One of the most valuable tests she recommends is Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA), which provides a long-term look at nutrient levels, mineral imbalances, and heavy metal exposure. Since minerals are the foundation of optimal hormone function, ensuring they are in balance is key to feeling your best. Tara also highlights the importance of stool testing for gut health and explains why she considers blood work essential for tracking long-term trends in metabolic and hormonal health. On the flip side, she advises against spending money on hormone testing (like the DUTCH test) in perimenopause, as hormone levels fluctuate too much to provide reliable data. She also discusses why organic acids tests and food sensitivity panels often lead to unnecessary treatments instead of addressing root causes. If you've ever felt overwhelmed by lab testing options, this episode will give you clarity on where to focus your efforts—and your budget. In this episode:  The problem with unnecessary lab testing – Many women waste money on tests that don't provide useful insights. HTMA (Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis) – A must-have test that offers a deep look at mineral levels, nutrient imbalances, and heavy metals affecting hormone health. Stool testing – Essential for gut health, which impacts everything from digestion to hormone metabolism. Blood work – Important for tracking metabolic trends, inflammation markers, and overall health over time. Why hormone testing isn't helpful in perimenopause – Hormone levels fluctuate daily, making tests like DUTCH unreliable for assessing estrogen and progesterone levels. Why organic acids and food sensitivity tests aren't necessary – These tests often lead to additional unnecessary testing instead of targeting true root causes.

In today's episode of Barbell Shrugged Dan Garner dives into how you can start to analyze your yearly bloodwork for performance. Standard blood tests can be ordered around the globe, in every country, and are the gold standard for understanding basic health. The normal reference ranges, however, are not giving you the answers you are looking for when it come to optimizing your health and performance. In this episode you will learn: What's the mindset/philosophy of looking at bloodwork for performance if it's classically a health screen? Generally speaking, energy is what every performer needs regardless of their pursuit. How can one look at bloodwork to improve their energy levels? Electrolytes come on every panel, can these be used to look at hydration and performance? You've talked a bunch about the immune system in past podcasts so I'm wondering what a basic blood panel can tell us about the current state of our immunity? What general recommendations do you have in terms of preparation so when someone gets their blood draw they can ensure it's accurate?
