Many patients are told their labs are “normal,” yet they still don’t feel their best. In this episode, Dr. Samantha Boldt explains how functional medicine testing can uncover deeper clues about blood sugar, hormones, and food sensitivities.
In this episode of the Erie Wellness Podcast, Lauren Brunetti sits down with Dr. Samantha Boldt, D.C., of Live Your Life Integrated Health & Chiropractic, which has locations in Erie and Firestone, Colorado.
Dr. Sam shares how her own health journey—including years of unexplained symptoms and eventually a diagnosis of Lyme disease—led her to functional medicine and shaped the root-cause approach she now uses with patients.
If you’ve ever been told your labs are “normal” but you still don’t feel your best, this conversation offers a deeper look at how your body’s systems are connected—and why understanding the root cause matters.
In this episode, we explore:
- What functional medicine is and why it’s growing in popularity
- Why many people feel unwell even when their labs fall within “normal” ranges
- What continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) reveal about blood sugar, sleep, stress, and food
- How the DUTCH hormone test shows what hormones are doing at a cellular level
- What food sensitivity testing can reveal about inflammation and gut health
- The connection between blood sugar, hormones, and metabolic health
- Why healing hormones and metabolic health takes time—and why there are no quick fixes
