Your Guide to Mental Health, Physical Health, and the Labs Worth Discussing With Your Provider
You feel anxious, exhausted, unfocused, or unlike yourself, and you want to understand why. Could there be more to the picture?
Thyroid problems, low iron, certain nutrient deficiencies, and other medical conditions can sometimes resemble or contribute to mental health symptoms. Knowing what to discuss with your provider can help you take the next step with more confidence.
Created by Mabel C. Rodriguez, PMHNP-BC, The Root Cause NP, this practical guide helps you explore those connections without getting lost in medical jargon.
Inside, you’ll find:

Lab tests to discuss with your provider based on your symptoms and history.
Questions to ask about your results and what they mean for you.
Conversation starters for appointments, especially when you feel unheard.
A 30-day tracker to record mood, energy, sleep, and symptom patterns.
