Hi @LAK – definitely worth repeating a full thyroid panel if he’s going to be retested anyway since biotin can interfere with thyroid results. Please watch this video from the Interpreting Basic Blood Chemistry course for tips on how to prepare for a blood test to ensure better accuracy.

There are comprehensive stool tests like the GI Map…

Hi @DXB – labs should always be interpreted in the context of the individual. Without additional information or other markers, I’ll provide information based on assumptions.

First, I’m going to assume that these labs were drawn in an overnight fasting state (9 to 12 hours) first thing in the morning, and only water was consumed. Otherwise,…

@naslam1603 have you seen the Digestive Enzyme Support video from the Gut Health Masterclass course? I discuss a variety of different enzyme formulations for different circumstances. Hope that helps.

Hi @Inga-55 – just letting you know that I replied to your other discussion where you clarified that it’s eclampsia and not preeclampsia that your daughter had.

Hi @Inga-55 – eclampsia is a more severe form of preeclampsia that leads to seizures (convulsions) in a pregnant woman. It can cause serious health problems for both mother and baby, including organ damage, premature birth, and in extreme cases, death. So this is where allopathic treatment is in fact needed and necessary.

Here is an…

@LAK it’s interesting that you mention he’s thin because his suboptimal high TSH did jump out at me and did make me wonder what may be going with thyroid function.

Although it’s not clinically high, a TSH above 2 uIU/ml may be something to pay attention to. This suggests the pituitary is sensing a need for more thyroid hormone (which raises TSH…

Hello @LAK – if you can please provide more context, we’ll be able to better guide you. Here are some guiding questions:

• How old is your son?
• Why were these tests done?
• Does he have any symptoms?
• Was he sick at the time of testing?
• What time were these tests taken and was he fasting overnight (only water)?
• Does he take any supplements, multi’s?…

Hi @naslam1603 – when looking at enzyme supplements, each unit reflects the enzyme’s ability to break down its specific substrate. So it helps you gauge the enzyme’s potency and effectiveness.

So for example, protease is an enzyme that helps us break down our proteins. Now to be able to quantify how well the enzyme works in testing conditions,…

@Annie – in an effort to cater to all learning needs, I’ve added this as a future project for my team. We have all the audio files separately, so I’m confident we can find a way to combine them into one big audio file. I’ll keep you updated on our progress and let you know once it’s ready.

Aside from the Gut Health Masterclass, is there…
