A sneak peek

"Normal" is built to catch disease

It isn't built to tell you you're thriving. Optimal is narrower, and it's where you feel like you again.

Ferritin

Normal15–200
Optimal90–180

A ferritin of 20 is "normal". It's also tired, foggy and losing hair.

Fasting insulin

Normal2.6–24.9
Optimal3–6

It climbs years before your glucose does, and it's almost never run.

TSH

Normal0.4–4.5
Optimal1.0–2.0

Most women only ever get TSH. The guide shows the full thyroid panel to ask for.

Who made it

Hi, I'm Brittany

I help women feel like themselves again with peptides, longevity foundations and nervous system regulation. Most of the women I work with arrive with a stack of "normal" results and a body that's telling them otherwise.

This is the guide I wish every one of them had before their first appointment.
