Welcome back to the Stronger Bones Lifestyle Podcast. I am your host, Debi Robinson. Today in this solo episode, I share who I am, my training and what I do to help ladies prevent bone loss. I also discuss the importance of functional labs including stool labs and what they can tell us as well as my program Healthy Gut Healthy Bones and its customized approach to helping you reverse the effects of bone loss. Join me today as I talk about some of the other functional labs I run to look “under the hood” at your internal environment, and how functional lab testing helps you look deeper but why you need the interpretation of the lab as well.
