I’m struggling with the blood chemistry unit to make sense of the results. Quite often the results come without showing the units they’re measuring, which is obviously something I need to consult whoever is giving the results. But when I turn to the Kresser course material, specifically week 20, part two of the functional medicine Blood Chemistry unit, we get conventional ranges and functional ranges on the chart. But again it doesn’t list the units which are being measured. I can work out often which they probably are, but sometimes it’s actually impossible. So I can’t tell if the results I’m looking at are in range or way out. Can this be remedied? Can you write the units that a result is measuring? When it comes to the reference guide you’re giving us in an app, will it be possible to clarify this? It’s so time consuming to try working this out instead of just being able to get on understanding the material.

Dr. Amy Nett:  So the charts that you’re talking about. So for example on week 30, part two, what we’re doing there, especially when Chris is presenting a case example, those are actually coming from our clinic. So those are actually our patients and the charts that you’re seeing there, those are the, that’s what we actually use in clinic. It doesn’t have the units. If you look at any LabCorp or Quest test result you’ll be able to get the units.

So what you could do is if you’re struggling with that and keep going back to something, what you could do is take one of those charts that has the list of functional ranges and conventional ranges, and then just go to LabCorp or Quest and look at the units that those are reported in, and that should help clarify. Because unfortunately, at this point we really can’t go back in and add units to each of those because we’re literally grabbing them out of patient charts and generally just doing a screenshot. So when it comes to the reference guide in an app, I’m not familiar with the app development there. Chris has put together certainly written material on the reference ranges and those are going to have units provided. I’m not sure that app is being developed though. But perhaps Chris or AJ can give us more information on that.
