For every-day people, COACHES & Practitioners: WHEN “Normal” Don’t Mean Optimal

The Bloodwork Guide SERIES for Both -- the Patient LOOKING FOR ANSWERS, and the Empowered Practitioner LOOKING TO DIG DEEPER

This bundle includes 3 guides that are synergistically designed to stand alone — or work together as a full roadmap for deeper clarity.


For the Everyday Person & Patient:

Whether you're navigating fatigue, bloating, hormone chaos, mystery symptoms, or just want deeper insight into your labs — this 3-in-1 toolkit gives you the power to interpret and understand your bloodwork (and your child’s) through a holistic, functional lens.

Finally, make sense of what your body is trying to communicate. Connect the dots in your healing journey.
No med degree required. No more gaslighting. Just real insights.


For the Practitioner or Coach:

Whether you’re a health coach, functional practitioner, nutritionist, NTP, or holistic provider, this toolkit gives you a clinically grounded, client-friendly system for interpreting labs through a root-cause lens.

Use it to cross-reference patterns, educate your clients, catch red flags often missed on standard panels, and build more personalized protocols with confidence.

The 3-guide bundle saves you hours of research and helps you explain complex bloodwork in a way clients can actually understand.

Empower your practice with tools that bridge the gap between clinical insight and client transformation.

MY "WHY"

Why I Created This Guide Series

After 12 years immersing myself in the holistic healing, health & wellness world -- Functional Blood Chemistry Analysis became a hyperfocus subject for my neurodivergent brain. I was deeply called to create this toolkit series in honor of the 10+ years I spent being dismissed by conventional doctors when my labs were “normal” — even though my body was screaming otherwise.


This is for every person who’s ever been told, “you’re fine,” when you knew in your gut that something wasn’t right. This is for every person who's ever been told "its in your head," "your'e just stressed," or "here's a referral for a psychiatrist."


I built this for anyone who wants to understand their body, connect the dots, and stop outsourcing their health to systems that treat you like a robot on an assembly line — only looking at a fraction of the full picture of you.


As a patient, I needed something that didn’t gaslight my lived experience.
As a practitioner, I needed a tool that could bridge clinical data with real-life symptoms—organized clearly, accessibly, and without hours of digging.


That's where this idea came into view. An all-in-one map that finally makes it make sense.

A guide to help put the power of self-trust and clarity back in your hands — because you deserve to understand what *actually* is going on in your body, and your labs could actually be communicating to you and how to listen.


And while no guide can replace personalized care, I spent over 8 months and 450+ hours creating something that’s both clinically grounded and human-centered. Whether you’re a chronic illness warrior, a wellness enthusiast, a health professional, or simply just beginning to explore this world — this is a resource anyone can benefit from (if they choose to.)


To a body well-nourished, a heart well-honored, a soul well-fulfilled, and to a life, well-lived.

WHO THIS GUIDE-SERIES IS FOR:

This toolkit was created for anyone ready to self-advocate and take their health into their own hands (or help a loved one).


This guide is for the proactive, the curious, and the committed — whether you’re just dipping your toes into the wellness world, or already deep into your healing journey.

This guide series IS for anyone who may be …

  • Dealing with reoccurring, chronic or mystery symptoms 
  • Living with chronic fatigue, brain fog, anxiety, inflammation, or hormonal issues — and no one’s given you real answers
  • Tired of hearing “everything looks normal” when you know something’s off
  • Curious about going deeper into what your labs really mean
  • Wanting to take a pro-active approach and do your best to prevent diseases from forming
  • Wanting to maintain good health by looking at your blood work from a functional lens
  • Trying to help a partner, child, or loved one through health challenges


It is also a great resource for other Wellness / Health Professionals:

  • A functional health coach, NTP, or holistic nutritionist who wants deeper lab interpretation tools
  • A chiropractor, naturopath, or integrative practitioner looking for a user-friendly resource to support your clients
  • A wellness professional seeking a more intuitive, symptom-first lens to connect lab markers to real-life issues
  • A new grad, student, or course creator who wants to build confidence in reading labs and spotting functional patterns

It’s NOT for you if…

  • You’re looking for a quick fix or one magic supplement to solve everything
  • You aren’t open to learning, or looking at patterns beyond a single lab value
  • You want a diagnosis — this guide does not diagnose or treat disease
  • You expect your conventional Doctor to use or validate this guide (most are not trained in functional blood chemistry patterns)
  • You’re uncomfortable with holistic, integrative, or root-cause approaches
  • You want someone else to do the work for you — this guide does require reading & effort


Remember: This guide is a reference tool, not a substitute for medical advice.

What Makes This Different


While doing a deep-dive into the sector of Functional Blood Chemistry, I realized quickly that the majority of resources were designed specifically for Practitioners/Physicians and were extremely complex and time consuming to follow.


There wasn't much out there that really translated Functional Chemistry into something palpable and straightforward that the majority of people could understand and utilize as a tool in their own healing journeys (and for their children/families as well.)


So I went on a mission to fill that gap!


I wanted to create something that anyone navigating health struggles could use and reference, and also serve as a "go-to" resource for other types of health professionals such as health coaches, nutritionists, integrative health practitioners, chiropractors etc. Even Conventional Medical Professional's looking to expand into a Functional scope. 


A huge part of my mission is empowering people to be their own biggest advocate and cheerleader, regardless of the profession they are in.


  • With 8+ months of research, 450+ hours of build time, and references from top labs, books, and practitioner resources, this guide makes the invisible visible
  • Functional Blood chemistry Lens (without fear-mongering or extremely advanced medical jargon)

ANSWERS TO YOUR POTENTIAL QUESTIONS

FAQ:

*** If you have ANY questions not covered on this webpage and or in this FAQ question, I would be happy to help you! Please send an e-mail to me at : carina@hhcollectivewellness.com

  • Are these guides a replacement for seeing a doctor?

    No. No guide/ebook/pdf  should be used to try to "replace" 1:1 personalized/customized care. 

    These guides are educational tools to help you understand your labs and health patterns more deeply while advocating for your healing. They are not intended to diagnose, treat, or replace personalized medical advice.

  • I don’t have a medical background. Will I still understand this?

    I did my best to write these keeping in mind that a lot of people will not have a health background.  These guides are written in plain, approachable language — no medical degree needed. You’ll find simple explanations, symptom-based suggestions, and organized charts that make complex information easy to digest. ** If there is an abbreviated term like "PCOS" I typically have it written out at least once (polycystic ovary syndrome) so that the reader knows what it is. 

  • Do these guides work for both men and women?

    Absolutely. The guides cover 115+ biomarkers and over 100+ conditions relevant to both men and women. There are even some gender-specific conditions like hormone imbalances, menstrual irregularities, and prostate health.

  • What’s the difference between “functional” ranges and “conventional” lab ranges?

    This answer is covered in depth in the guides from multiple angles - however a short version: Conventional ranges look for disease extremes based on "normal" ranges taken from the average population which includes a very sick population. 

    Functional ranges look for optimal health zones. Functional blood chemistry identifies imbalances  & dysfunctions before they become bigger issues — catching trends Conventional Doctor aren't trained to find/catch.

  • I’ve been told my labs are ‘normal.’ Can these guides still help me?

    Yes! Many people still feel unwell despite “normal” labs. These guides help you spot patterns within the normal range that might point to nutritional deficiencies, stress on organs, or early imbalances.

  • Are the guides only for practitioners?

    Not at all. While they are detailed enough for health coaches, nutritionists, chiropractors, and other wellness professionals, they are designed to empower everyday people to understand their own health.

  • How do I know which labs to order?

    Guide 3 is your roadmap. It gives you step-by-step lab suggestions for 40+ common symptoms, plus additional functional test recommendations (like hormone panels or gut tests) when helpful. You can *also* use Guide 2 to "reverse engineer" what labs to order by looking at thet typical high/low lab markers that are typically found with that condition/issue.

  • Can these guides help me read past lab results?

    Absolutely! If you have any bloodwork results, you can use the guides to cross-check your results against functional ranges and condition patterns.
