In this episode of the Style and Stewardship podcast, Cher, a certified holistic nutritionist, discusses the confusion surrounding lab results and how they can often lead to frustration for individuals who feel unwell despite receiving 'normal' results.

She explains how lab ranges are created based on statistical data from the entire population, which includes individuals who may not be in optimal health. 

Cher emphasizes the importance of understanding the difference between normal and optimal health ranges and encourages listeners to take proactive steps in their wellness journey 

If you have labs that you need clarity on Cher supports clients by reviewing their labs from a holistic perspective and gives lifestyle, supplement support (if appropriate), and dietary approaches to support optimal health.
