Know Your Labs
Know Your Labs is a weekly show from Nurses Know Life that helps women understand their lab work — in plain language. Each short episode breaks down one lab topic or supplement: what the tests can tell you, what they can't, and what a reasonable next step looks like. No fear tactics, no miracle claims. Just honest, nurse-reviewed education. Every topic is reviewed by Nicole Kasch, MSN, RN, CFMP. Explore Lab Journeys and professional-grade supplements at www.nursesknowlife.com/wellness-shop. New episodes every Monday.

Maya from the Nurses Know Life team explains hs-CRP, the inflammation blood test most women have never heard of — what it measures, what the numbers mean, and why it can say something your cholesterol panel never will. Curious about your own number? Find the hs-CRP single-marker test and the Inflammation & Nutrient Insights Lab Journey at nursesknowlife.com/wellness-shop.
Your doctor said your hormone levels look normal — so why do your periods keep changing and you keep waking up at 3 a.m.? Maya explains what perimenopause labs (FSH, estradiol, TSH) actually measure, why one test can mislead in either direction, and why the trend matters more than the number. If your own lab results feel like a mystery, Nicole offers individual lab results reviews — details at nursesknowlife.com/wellnes...
Vitamin D is the supplement everyone takes and almost no one tests. This bonus episode breaks down the 25-hydroxyvitamin D test: what it actually measures, why experts disagree on the "low" cutoff, and why the same person can get a different number on different lab machines. Plus: why the dose starts with a test. Explore Lab Journeys and professional-grade supplements at nursesknowlife.com/wellness-shop.
Your labs came back "normal" — so why are you still exhausted? This episode explains the difference between a standard CBC and ferritin, why low iron stores can exist long before anemia shows up, and two other markers worth knowing: B12 and vitamin D. Plus, why testing first beats guessing with supplements. Reviewed by Nicole Kasch, MSN, RN, CFMP.
