Description

Have you ever typed “tired all the time” into Google and 20 minutes later wondered if you have thyroid disease, anaemia, diabetes and five other conditions?

This workbook is designed to interrupt that cycle.

By Coach Ade – Adejumoke Ladejobi, Functional Medicine Practitioner and Health Coach.

This is NOT for diagnosing yourself. It is for understanding enough to ask better questions at your appointment.

What is inside – 36 pages:

1. How to use this workbook: The flow – circle your symptom, read common possibilities, note which tests are often considered, fill in your own results, bring the Doctor Visit Sheet.

2. Foundation pages:
• My Health Snapshot – past history, family history, meds, supplements, cycle, sleep, stress

• 90 Day Symptom and Lifestyle Tracker – photocopy and track severity, sleep, stress, cycle

• Lab Prep Checklist – fasting, time of day, what to avoid 24 hours before, medicines like biotin, hydration, what to bring

• Labs At A Glance: Conventional vs Functional Targets – TSH, Free T4, Free T3, Vitamin B12, Folate, Ferritin, Fasting Glucose, HbA1c, Fasting Insulin, Vitamin D 25 OH with plain-English context. Example: If HbA1c and insulin are normal but symptoms persist. Anaemia and haemoglobin variants change this result.

3. Pattern Decoder: Don’t read one number alone. Shows clusters:
• Constant fatigue = CBC + Ferritin + B12 + Folate + TSH + Free T4 + Vitamin D + Glucose

• Always hungry / weight gain around middle = Fasting glucose + HbA1c + Fasting insulin + Lipid panel + TSH

• Numbness, tingling = B12 + Folate + Glucose + HbA1c + TSH + Vitamin D

• Hair shedding, cold, pale skin = Ferritin + CBC + TSH + Vitamin D + B12

4. Part One – 13 Symptoms decoded:
Chest Pain, Numbness or Tingling, Constant Fatigue, Unexplained Weight Gain, Always Hungry, Shaky / Weak Between Meals, Feeling Cold All The Time, Hair Loss, Irregular Periods – Before You Google PCOS + PCOS in simple English, Heavy Periods, Thirst + Frequent Urination, Brain Fog, Poor Sleep.
Each includes: what could be behind it, what might be worth checking + what it means, how to put the result in context, 4 questions to take with you, and red flags; don’t wait for routine tests if…

5. Part Two – The Tests You Will Keep Seeing: Fasting Glucose, HbA1c, Fasting Insulin, TSH, Free T4, CBC, Ferritin, Lipid Panel, CRP, 25-OH Vitamin D. Each with fill-in space: My result, Unit, Lab reference range, Date, What question was I trying to answer, plus how to read it and what it cannot tell you.

6. Part Three – Hormones Without The Confusion: Why timing matters – cycle day, pregnancy, contraception, time of day.

7. Part Four – Translating The Everyday Lab Report: Plain-English meaning for Haemoglobin, PCV, Hematocrit, MCV, MCH, MCHC, RDW, Creatinine / eGFR / Urea / BUN, ALT / AST, ALP / GGT, Bilirubin, Albumin.

8. Part Five and Six – Action Pages:
• Your Personal Lab Interpretation Page: What does this test measure? Why was it ordered? What other results should I look at?

• Doctor Visit Prep Sheet with Top 4 questions: What are likely explanations? Which tests would help distinguish? If normal, what else? Could medicines, sleep, stress, cycle affect results?

• Final Action Plan and Your Next Step

• When A Workbook Is Not Enough – emergency red flags and final thought: The goal is not to diagnose yourself. The goal is to understand enough to ask better questions.

What you get: Instant download after payment – 1 PDF, 36 pages, printable A4. You can print or fill on your tablet.

Safety: Laboratory reference interval is not the same as functional target. Functional targets in the workbook are interpretive patterns, not universal diagnostic cutoffs. Always use your lab’s range. Do not start, stop or change medication based on this book. Seek urgent care for sudden or severe symptoms like chest pain, one-sided weakness, severe breathing difficulty, fainting, very high or low blood sugar, heavy bleeding with dizziness.
