Beyond Standard™ Postpartum Labs
Recover, replenish, and restore. Pregnancy, birth, breastfeeding, interrupted sleep, healing, and caring for a baby place tremendous demands on the body. Fatigue, brain fog, hair loss, mood changes, low energy, dizziness, weight changes, or simply not feeling like yourself may be part of postpartum recovery—but they can also overlap with other factors worth identifying. This comprehensive panel looks at blood counts, iron status, thyroid function, key nutrients, inflammation, and metabolic health to help identify measurable factors that may be contributing to how you feel. Whether your baby is six weeks, six months, or six years old, the goal is to give you a clearer picture of what your body may need to recover, replenish, and feel more like yourself again.

Dr. Jenny Stofer DC
I’m Dr. Jenny Stofer, a chiropractor who has spent more than 15 years supporting women through fertility, pregnancy, postpartum, and the hormonal transitions that follow. Beyond Standard™ Labs grew out of both my professional experience—and my own. After having my baby, I was exhausted in a way that felt deeper than sleepless nights. I felt depleted and struggled to find the energy for all the demands of new motherhood. I assumed this was simply how I was supposed to feel, and no one suggested looking deeper. Eventually, I discovered I was anemic. My body didn’t have enough iron to properly support healthy red blood cells and the oxygen delivery I relied on for energy. Once I addressed what my body was missing, my energy began to return. That experience changed the way I thought about healthcare. Over the years, I’ve watched many of my patients have similar experiences—feeling exhausted, foggy, depleted, hormonally “off,” or simply unlike themselves, yet receiving limited testing or being told that what they’re experiencing is just part of postpartum, perimenopause, pregnancy, fertility treatment, or a busy season of life. I believe you should have greater access to information about your own body. That’s why I created Beyond Standard™ Labs: an easy way to get a more detailed picture of your health without navigating multiple appointments or trying to figure out which labs to request yourself. Your results are personally reviewed and translated into clear, understandable information about your nutrient levels, thyroid health, hormones, metabolism, and other important markers—along with personalized nutrition, supplement, lifestyle, and follow-up recommendations. The goal isn’t simply more testing. It’s better information. So you can understand where you are, what may deserve more attention, and what to do next. Your health data belongs to you. You deserve to understand it.
