“Normal” doesn't always mean you understand your results. Learn what your numbers mean—and what questions to ask next.

Understand Your Labs

A Physician-Created Lab Interpretation Guide for Women 40–65

Your lab report gives you numbers and reference ranges—but it doesn't always help you understand what those numbers mean or how they fit together.

Understand Your Labs, created by Waldo Acebo, MD, is a practical 38-page digital guide designed to help women ages 40–65 better understand commonly ordered laboratory tests and have more informed conversations with their healthcare providers.

Inside, you'll learn how to better understand laboratory markers related to:

• Blood count and general health
• Glucose, HbA1c, fasting insulin and insulin resistance
• Cholesterol, ApoB, Lp(a) and cardiovascular risk
• Thyroid function, including TSH, Free T4, Free T3, reverse T3 and thyroid antibodies
• Iron, ferritin, vitamin B12, folate and vitamin D
• Menopause and hormone replacement therapy (HRT)
• Estradiol, estrone, progesterone, testosterone, SHBG, DHEA-S and pregnenolone
• Conventional reference ranges versus functional/optimal ranges used in some clinical practices
• Labcorp and Quest test codes for selected tests
• Personal lab dashboards and trackers to help you follow results over time
