  • Your Labs Are Normal, But You're Not: What's Being Missed in Women's Healthcare

    Your Labs Are Normal, But You're Not: What's Being Missed in Women's Healthcare
    Feb 13 2026
    Your doctor says your labs are normal. But your body is telling a very different story. In this powerful episode, Dr. Tara Harding DNP, FNP-C exposes the hidden gap between “normal” lab ranges and optimal health and why thousands of women are left suffering despite being told nothing is wrong. If you are experiencing fatigue, anxiety, brain fog, weight gain, hair loss, sleep disruption, PMS, infertility, or mood changes… this conversation is one you cannot afford to miss. Most providers are trained to detect disease. Dr. Tara is teaching you how to recognize dysfunction before it becomes one. This episode is both validating and empowering especially for high-achieving women who know something is off but have struggled to be heard. Share this episode with a friend, sister, or colleague who has been told “everything is normal.” Because women deserve care that helps them thrive not just survive. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Let Dr. Tara help you!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LEARN⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for FREE from Dr. Tara ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠JOIN⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Dr. Tara on TikTok Come say hi over on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Tara's Instagram ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Disclaimer: Dr. Tara Harding is a Doctor of Nursing Practice and licensed Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP-C).
