These three labs are non-negotiable labs that our clients get quarterly or annually, depending on their goals and health history. 

Today I’m joined by the incredible Michelle Sirmons, a Cornell trained Functional Medicine Registered Dietitian and the lead nutritionist at BeingBrigid! 

In a world where it feels impossible to know who to trust on the internet, Michelle and I sit down to unpack so many real life experiences that we have been helping women overcome for the last decade as Registered Dietitians. 

Key Points Michelle shares: 
+If you’re struggling with stubborn weight, blood sugar crashes, intense cravings, muscle loss, fatigue, or feeling like your metabolism has completely changed in your 40s…tracking labs is key!

+GLP-1 medications are very popular but they don’t automatically fix unstable glucose, inflammation, or muscle loss. 

+In perimenopause and post-menopause, declining estrogen makes protein, strength training, gut health, and blood sugar stability non-negotiable for protecting your metabolism long term.

+How to support natural GLP-1 production through fiber and resistant starch

+How to track the right labs like A1C, fasting insulin, and bone density.

This is a must-listen episode if you want sustainable fat loss, stable energy, fewer cravings, and long-term metabolic health — without wrecking your muscle in the process.

💬 Comment LISTEN and I’ll DM you the full episode!
