If you’ve ever been told your labs are “normal” but you still don't feel right, this conversation is about asking a better question: not “Am I as healthy as the average person?” but “What would it take for my body to actually function really well?”

Scott Laird is a naturopathic doctor and the founder of Laird Wellness. In this episode, he explains why “normal” blood test ranges may not mean you’re healthy, why average American health is a bad measuring stick, and how he uses blood work to look for optimal ranges instead.

We talk about fasting insulin, blood sugar, thyroid, hormones, inflammation markers, supplements, glyphosate exposure, diet, exercise, stress, biblical clean eating, blood type and diet, and why health recommendations shouldn’t be one-size-fits-all. Scott also shares how his work with Michael Rood, The Health Awakening, and the Hallelujah Diet shaped his approach to helping people read their labs differently and make specific changes based on what their body is actually showing.
