Beyond Standard™ Iron & Energy
Look beyond the standard blood count. Iron deficiency can develop before anemia shows up on a routine CBC, and low iron stores may contribute to fatigue, weakness, brain fog, hair shedding, dizziness, headaches, shortness of breath, or simply feeling depleted. This focused panel takes a closer look at iron stores, iron availability, and key nutrient markers involved in energy and healthy red blood cell production to help identify potential reasons you may be feeling run down. Designed for women who: Feel tired, depleted, weak, or lightheaded Have heavy or frequent periods Are pregnant, postpartum, or recently postpartum Experience hair shedding, headaches, or brain fog Have been told their blood count is “normal” but still suspect low iron Want to understand their iron status before automatically supplementing

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.
