In this episode of Restoring Your Health, Dr. Julie George discusses some of the laboratory testing she considers when working with people struggling with fatigue and chronic illness. She explains why basic blood work may not always give us the complete picture, what she looks for beyond simply being inside the “normal” reference range, and why tracking certain markers over time can be so valuable.

Labs are a snapshot in time, but they can provide important clues. When we combine those results with your symptoms, health history, and how you actually feel, we can start asking better questions about what may be contributing to fatigue.

If you’ve been told everything looks normal but you’re still tired, this episode will give you some additional things to consider and discuss with your healthcare provider.

In this episode of Restoring Your Health, Dr. Julie George talks about the thoughts we repeat every day and why becoming more aware of those thoughts can be an important part of restoring your health.

She shares her own experience with seeing herself as a “fighter,” and why she began questioning whether she wanted to continue approaching life as a series of battles to overcome.

You’ll hear practical ways to become more intentional with your thoughts, including writing positive statements, using affirmations, recording your own voice, and creating simple reminders of where you want your attention to go.

This episode isn’t about pretending that difficult things don’t happen or forcing yourself to think positively all the time. It’s about noticing the story you are repeatedly telling yourself and asking a simple question:

Is this the story I want to continue telling?

Sometimes restoring your health involves more than supplements, labs, nutrition, and treatment plans. Sometimes it also means changing the way you talk to yourself along the way.
