Tired of being told “everything is normal” when deep down, something feels off? In this week’s episode of Hopeful Hints, Dr. Tara talks about the Top 5 lab tests every woman should advocate for, even when doctors say you’re fine. These tests go beyond the basics and dig into the most overlooked pieces of your health puzzle:

  1. Thyroid panel – not just TSH, but Free T3, Free T4, and antibodies.

  2. Sex hormone testing – including estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone.

  3. Blood sugar & insulin markers – like fasting insulin and A1C, crucial for energy and weight balance.

  4. Ferritin & full iron panel – because low iron isn’t always anemia, but it is always exhausting.

  5. Vitamin D & B levels – essential nutrients that impact mood, immunity, and more.

If you’ve ever felt dismissed or unheard, this episode is your reminder: you’re not imagining it and there are answers.
