1) Laurena is relocating her practice - change can be challenging but also good to help us calibrate and focus on what is important 

2) What Vanessa and Laurena are up to with their training routine and biohacking with an NAD patch! 

3) What are optimal markers? It's how we interpret standard blood test results through the lens of functional and optimal ranges to tease out any underlying conditions, this way we catch any potential issues earlier and fix them! Inflammation - hsCRP, homocysteine, ferritin, fibrinogen 

4) Gut health - urea/BUN, globulin, eosinophile and MEB Oxidative stress - uric acid, homocysteine, albumin and vitamin C, GGT 

5) Acid Base balance and anion gap (this one was a little geeky!) 

6) Adrenal stress - cortisol and aldosterone 

7) Thyroid health - TSH, T4, T3, FT4, FT3, reverse T3 

Remember - these markers are to give us clues as to what our body is trying to tell us, please do not diagnose yourself based on a number and seek medical advice when interpreting these blood tests.
