Dr. Redd’s bloodwork guide: 

https://drjoshredd.com/free-guides/

Have you ever been told your labs are normal, but you still feel exhausted, inflamed, anxious, dizzy, or unlike yourself?

In this episode of She’s in Progress, Alexandra Lourdes and Dr. Josh Redd discuss what standard blood work can miss, especially for people navigating Hashimoto’s, autoimmune symptoms, hormone imbalance, low blood sugar, and chronic fatigue.

Alex shares the three major red flags found in her labs: an estrogen to progesterone imbalance, low blood sugar, and methylation issues. Together, they explain why symptoms matter, which blood tests to ask for, how to better understand your results, and why looking deeper can help uncover possible triggers behind how you feel.

If you have ever been told “everything looks normal” when you know something is off, this episode is for you.
