  • Looking Beyond Normal Lab Results

    Looking Beyond Normal Lab Results
    Apr 15 2026

    One of the most common things we hear new patients tell us is, “My blood work was normal, but I still don’t feel like myself.”

    They might be dealing with fatigue, brain fog, digestive issues, joint discomfort, or low energy. Yet when standard tests come back within the normal range, it can feel confusing and frustrating.

    This is what makes functional testing different. We focus on understanding how the body is functioning before disease develops. Instead of waiting until a clear diagnosis appears, the goal is to look for early imbalances that may be placing stress on the body.

    Sometimes these changes show up in lab markers long before a condition develops.

    By looking a little deeper at those patterns, we can often identify opportunities to support the body earlier and help prevent larger issues down the road.

    Listen to this podcast episode to understand the difference between normal and optimal lab work!

    Have you ever felt like stress just hits you harder than it used to?

    Maybe your sleep is lighter. Your patience is shorter. PMS feels more intense. Or you feel wired but exhausted at the same time.

    Many men and women assume this is just part of modern life.

    But there is real biochemistry behind why stress can feel more disruptive in a woman’s body.

    In our latest podcast, you’ll find out:

    • How cortisol and progesterone share hormonal building blocks
    • Why chronic stress can lower progesterone over time
    • How this shift impacts mood, sleep, cycles, and resilience
    • Why stress tolerance often changes in perimenopause
    • What you can do to rebuild your stress buffering capacity

    If stress has been affecting your energy, mood, or cycle more than it used to, this podcast will help you understand why and what you can do about it.

    Stress, Anxiety and Depression is not all "In Your Head" with host Jack Spirko of the Survival Podcast
    Sep 13 2024
    Dr. Stephen Lewis of Green Wisdom Health returns to TSPC today to discuss why so many Americans are dealing with stress, anxiety and depression. The links to diet, life style, gut biomes and what we can do about it. Welcome, folks. Good Wednesday morning. It is Wednesday, September the 11th, 2024. For this is episode 3, 556 of the survival podcast. We’re bringing back on one of my favorite people to interview Dr. Steven Lewis of green wisdom health. I don’t think he’s been with us since about 2019. If I remember right somewhere in that range, and it’s good to have him back on today. We’re going to be talking about stress, anxiety, and depression and how, no, it’s. Not all in your head. There’s a variety of environmental and nutritional stressors that are actually causing stress. when you have stress, then maybe you have anxiety. And then maybe when you’re stressed out and have anxiety. Maybe you get depressed, so you might feel it in your head some, but there are things that you can do to alleviate this and, Dr. Lewis will be with us in just a minute. Next up today, you know, we’re going to talk about stress and one of those things that stresses people out is money and having your money constantly erode. That’ll stress you out. Well, you know, I don’t ever recommend going in all in on anything, but I’ll tell you, I’ve been recommending alternative investments for as long as I’ve done this show. Anyway, with that, let’s bring Dr lewis back on to the survival podcast. Steven, man, welcome to the show. Hey, it’s good to be back. Can you just start out with, instead of our subject today, kind of your origin story. Before you decided to go to chiropractic school and then kind of go down this whole world of nutrition with those studies, what was your life like before that? What led you in that direction to choose this as a profession? Well, my parents always took us to the chiropractor first and then an osteopath or MB. Later, if the chiropractor suggested it, I always thought there should be a very symbiotic relationship between them. And that’s mostly true now, but, a chiropractor talked me into being a chiropractor and it’s been a really good road, because I couldn’t handle the blood and guts. I admired the medical profession, but I’ve seen so many people get well. by taking supplements. And I know the FDA says, it can’t help a symptom or cure a disease, but still your body has to have the basics just to work with and our food doesn’t have it. And that’s why I kind of really admire what you’re doing. You’re teaching people to grow more nutritious food. And you tell them it’s not the soil, it’s the microorganism that’s, fixing the nitrogen, for example. we’re going to talk about microorganisms today and how important that is in your brain health, stress, anxiety, depression, your musculoskeletal health. early on in my chiropractic career, I was really busy. And I noticed that when I put people on nutrients to stop the musculoskeletal inflammation, Then say well God I see better. I’m not as stressed or my husband’s nicer to me Which meant I’m not as irritable it all works together structure function nerve supply nutrition and choosing a happy attitude. I think right now people are experiencing more anxiety more depression. but they’re also dealing with kind of, as you alluded to, like, and probably part of this is like gut inflammation and you’re a chiropractor. So I would imagine muscular skeletal issues or something you’d be looking at. how are all these challenges interconnected? Cause I think people tend to like make these compartmentalized, like anxiety and depressions over here. And that’s exactly what pharmaceutical companies want. Cause then they can tell you, right. Take this drug that’s on the TV where the mentally, mentally, depressed person is dancing through a field. And then when your hands twitch, take this other drug to go with that first drug. So that’s a great money making formula, but it doesn’t seem like For all the drugs we have for these problems now, it seems like there’s more cases of the problem than ever before. So that doesn’t seem to be working. Well, you know, before I get into what I think the cause is, I think we should choose to be happy. We should choose to look at it in a quirky way. just a little over a year ago, I was in hospital and they said, did you get your flu shot? I said, I had a bourbon shot. Did you get your RSV shot? I said, I had another bourbon shot. Did you get your shingle shot? I said, oh, hell no. They said, did you get your COVID shot? I said, I had two bourbon shots for that. And the nurse that was there trying to save my life at the minute, I had him laughing. Yeah. And so that probably helped, you know, everybody. So, you know, hormone imbalances, and I’m going to kind of jump the gun here and tell people I’m way different than I was four or five years ago in a lot of...
