If you can’t sleep, there are likely imbalances in your body that are keeping you awake ([see episode 94](https://www.thecompletesleepsolution.com/podcast/episode/e2e71d9e/94-the-3-keys-to-improve-your-sleep-part-1-your-body)). I use 4 different functional lab tests to find these imbalances in my clients.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

What I look for in the 4 lab tests

How these tests show why you can’t sleep

How these tests show much more than typical blood work (which usually comes back “normal”)

These tests together, along with the assessments I use, give me the big picture of what systems in the body aren’t working properly and affecting sleep in each of my clients so we know what to address. It’s different for everyone! That’s why a personalized approach is so important.
