8 Labs I'd Order for Every Postpartum Momma
(And the exact words to say to your doctor)
A free one-page guide from functional sports dietitian Val Warner — because "your labs are normal" is not a good enough answer.
If you have ever left a doctor's appointment feeling dismissed — told your bloodwork looks fine while you still feel exhausted, foggy, and completely depleted — this guide is for you.
As a board-certified sports dietitian and functional medicine practitioner, I ordered my own postpartum labs a year after having my daughter because nobody offered to check them. My ferritin had dropped to 48.5. And I knew what to look for. Most mommas don't.
This free one-pager gives you:
✓ The 8 specific labs I recommend for every postpartum and busy momma
✓ Why each one matters for your energy, hormones, and recovery
✓ The functional optimal ranges — not just "are you in the normal zone"
✓ The exact words to say to your doctor to get these tests ordered
✓ Key symptoms that suggest you might be depleted in each area
No fluff. No generic advice. Just the specific, actionable information you need to walk into your next appointment prepared.
