Episode 22: When “Your Labs Are Normal” Changed Everything

About this episode

Janell Yule shares her personal health journey and the challenges she faced when told her lab results were normal despite feeling unwell.

What happens when you know something is wrong, but you're told everything is normal? In this personal episode, Janell shares the doctor's appointment that became a turning point in her life and ultimately shaped the work she does today. At 28 years old, she was exhausted, struggling with weight loss resistance, experiencing low libido, relying on daily naps, and finding it increasingly difficult to keep up with the demands of life. After sharing these concerns with her doctor and having her thyroid tested, she received a response that many women know all too well: "Your labs are normal."
