Sometimes the “office” looks a little different. 😂
As a busy dad, I’ve learned to take advantage of the little pockets of time I get.
Today, while the kiddo was napping in the car, I was able to sit for a few minutes and review bloodwork. It’s one of the things I’m genuinely grateful I get to do — help people understand what’s going on beneath the surface and turn their lab work into actionable steps for better health.
One of the most common things I see when reviewing bloodwork?
Low vitamin D. ⛅️
And while vitamin D is often talked about simply in terms of “bone health,” it plays a much bigger role in the body.
Low vitamin D status has been associated with things like:
☀️ Poor bone health
💪 Muscle weakness and reduced physical performance
🛡️ Immune function
❤️ Cardiometabolic health
🧠 Mood and cognitive health
🧬 Poor hormone health
And here’s an important distinction:
“In range” doesn’t always mean “optimal.”
When I review labs from a functional health perspective, I’m not just looking for whether a number is flagged high or low. I want to look at the patterns, relationships between markers, symptoms, lifestyle, nutrition, and the bigger picture.
For vitamin D specifically, I also want to know why it may be low and whether there are factors affecting absorption, utilization, or your ability to maintain healthy levels.
Because your bloodwork is more than a list of numbers.
It can tell a story.
And sometimes that story gives us an opportunity to make changes before a problem becomes a bigger problem.
If you’ve had bloodwork done recently and you’ve been told “everything looks normal,” but you still don’t feel like yourself…
I’d love to take a deeper look.
