#176: Functional vs. Conventional Labs - Dietitian Kelly Schmidt

The Healthy Diabetic

Have you ever wondered if the annual or quarterly tests you get at your doctor or Endocrinologist's office are enough to give you real insight into your overall health? I know I have, and today I answer those questions.
I got to sit down with my good T1D friend and colleague, Registered Dietitian Kelly Schmidt. Kelly talks with us about the difference between conventional and functional labs and why it's so important to advocate for yourself. This episode aims to educate you on the different types of functional tests and empower you to ask for more than just the basic labs we get quarterly.
Kelly's Functional Tests:
Wheat Zoomer - (An At Home Test)
Additional Functional Labs
