In this solo French‑language podcast episode, naturopath and author Alicia Marcelle Martine Bragalli (Ali Braggs) expands on her previous episode to give women a detailed, functional‑medicine‑oriented roadmap for the blood work they should have once a year. She begins by challenging the idea that standard laboratory reference ranges represent optimal health, explaining that they are derived from a mixed population and often miss early dysfunction. She then walks through the full suite of biomarkers she recommends, grouped by system: hormonal panels (estradiol, progesterone, FSH, LH, prolactin, testosterone, SHBG, DHEA‑S), adrenal cortisol (salivary curves), thyroid (TSH, free T3, reverse T3, anti‑TPO, anti‑thyroglobulin), glucose metabolism (fasting glucose, fasting insulin, HOMA‑IR, HbA1c, insulin‑glucose index), inflammation (high‑sensitivity CRP, homocysteine), nutritional status (ferritin, vitamin D, erythrocyte magnesium, B12, folate, B6, zinc), liver function (ALT, AST, GGT, alkaline phosphatase), and lipid profile (triglycerides, HDL, LDL, ApoB, TG/HDL ratio). For each marker she provides functional‑optimal ranges, explains why the marker matters, how it interrelates with other systems (e.g., insulin resistance driving abdominal fat and SHBG suppression, chronic low‑grade inflammation affecting thyroid conversion), and offers practical tips for interpretation. She also discusses the realities of accessing these tests in Quebec – public labs often limit panels, private labs and Dutch urine tests can fill gaps, and she encourages women to request specific tests from their physicians or work with functional‑medicine practitioners. The episode concludes with a call to action: women should track these markers annually to catch early metabolic, hormonal, or cardiovascular risk, especially because cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in women, and to use the data to guide personalized lifestyle or supplement interventions.
