Guest name: Dr. Samantha Boldt
Business name: Live Your Life Integrated Health and Chiropractic
Many people are told their labs are “normal,” yet they still struggle with fatigue, hormone issues, or food sensitivities. In this episode, Dr. Samantha Boldt explains how functional medicine testing can uncover what traditional labs often miss.
In this episode of the Erie Wellness Podcast, Lauren Brunetti sits down with Dr. Samantha Boldt, D.C., of Live Your Life Integrated Health & Chiropractic, which has locations in Erie and Firestone, Colorado.
Dr. Sam’s passion for this work comes from her own health journey. In her early twenties, she experienced years of unexplained symptoms before finally being diagnosed with Lyme disease through a functional medicine practitioner. That experience shaped the empathetic and investigative approach she now brings to helping patients find answers and rebuild their health.
In this episode, we cover:
What functional medicine is and how it differs from conventional care
Why many people still feel unwell even when labs fall within “normal” ranges
What continuous glucose monitors reveal about blood sugar, sleep, stress, and food
Why blood sugar regulation impacts hormones, mood, energy, and metabolism
How the DUTCH hormone test provides deeper insight into hormone metabolism
What food sensitivity testing can reveal about inflammation and gut health
Why healing hormones and metabolic health takes time—and why there are no quick fixes
Functional medicine takes a step back to look at the body as a connected system—helping people understand what’s really happening beneath the surface so they can build long-term health and resilience.
This episode is your reminder: If your labs are “normal,” but you still don’t feel your best, this conversation may help you start asking deeper questions about your health.
