Bloodwork is often considered routine—but what if it held deeper insights than most providers ever mention? In this episode, we explore the world of functional blood analysis and how subtle patterns in hematology can reveal chronic stress, nutrient depletion, infection, organ burden, and even emotional imbalances before they escalate into illness.

Standard lab ranges may say “normal,” but normal doesn’t always mean optimal. With a trained eye, blood becomes a map—a set of hidden clues that can guide real, root-cause healing.

Joining us is Dr. Sarah Outlaw, a board-certified Doctor of Holistic Health, clinical master herbalist, and functional nutritionist with over 20 years of experience helping people get to the root cause of their health issues. She owns a busy natural health practice, a kava bar and coffee shop, and lives on a farm where she raises animals, vegetables, flowers, and medicinal herbs. A wife, mom of five, and passionate educator, Sarah blends real-life experience with clinical expertise to empower others to take control of their health naturally.

In this episode, we cover:

• What most doctors miss in standard blood panels
• Why “within range” isn’t always healthy
• How to spot early signs of liver stress, chronic infection, adrenal fatigue, and immune dysregulation
• The emotional and energetic connections to hematology
• How Dr. Outlaw uses bloodwork alongside herbal and nutritional protocols

If you’ve ever been told your labs are “fine” but you know something is off, this episode is your invitation to look again—deeper, smarter, and more holistically.
