Why Deeper Testing Can Help Explain Fatigue, Bloating, and Weight Resistance
Many women come to me after being told their labs are normal.
But they do not feel normal.
They are exhausted. Bloated. Gaining weight. Craving sugar. Not sleeping. Losing hair. Feeling anxious. Having hot flashes. Struggling with constipation or reflux. And wondering why their body suddenly feels like a mystery novel with a terrible ending.
Standard labs can be helpful. But they do not always tell the whole story.
That is where functional lab testing and functional lab interpretation can be incredibly valuable.
Why Am I Gaining Weight in Perimenopause Even Though I Eat Healthy?
One of the most frustrating things I hear from women in perimenopause is this:
“I’m eating healthy. I’m exercising. I’m doing the things. So why is the scale still going up?”
And honestly? I get it.
There is nothing more maddening than feeling like you’re putting in effort, making better choices, skipping the junk, walking more, maybe even strength training, and yet your jeans are tighter, your belly feels softer, and your body suddenly feels like it is operating under new management.
