Ep 52 - Don’t Guess—Test: The Power of Functional Labs with Meg Lambke

In this episode of The Longevity Lounge with Dr. Cherine, we’re diving into one of the most overlooked keys to long-term wellness—functional lab testing. Joined by licensed dietitian nutritionist and certified nutrition specialist Meg Lambke, we explore why testing is crucial when it comes to uncovering the real root causes of fatigue, gut issues, hormonal imbalance, and chronic inflammation.

Meg shares how functional labs can give you answers where traditional labs fall short, and why bio-individuality is the future of health optimization. You’ll learn what tests may benefit you most, how to approach them without overwhelm, and why the “guess and check” method of wellness is costing people time, energy, and money.
