Low White Blood Cells? Here’s What Your Labs Might Be Telling You
Hi,
Back-to-school season means busier schedules—and way more exposure to germs. And let’s be honest: getting sick isn’t just a kid problem. It sidelines parents, professionals, and whole families.
In the past year, I’ve reviewed hundreds of labs. One of the most common findings? Low white blood cells (WBCs).
👉 Ideal range: 5–7
👉 Many autoimmune patients, or those who get sick often, run in the low 3’s
👉 High WBCs can also flag immune stress
Here’s the frustrating part: most doctors wave it off with, “That’s normal for you.”
Translation: “I don’t know what to do about it.”
But low (or high) WBCs are not okay. They signal a suppressed or overworked immune system. The real solution is to figure out why—and then give the body the right tools to recover.
Some of my favorite tools for immune competence include:
Astragalus
Andrographis
Vitamins D & A
Echinacea (for select patients)
And my current wildcard: SCFAs (short-chain fatty acids)—an area of immune research that I’ll be diving deeper into soon. You do not want to miss that….It’s critical!
Note: These aren’t blanket recommendations for everyone—they should be used under the guidance of a skilled practitioner. But they’re part of the strategies I lean on to help patients build a stronger defense.
👉 If you haven’t had a lab review, now is the time.
👉 If you’re an in-office patient, September is filling up fast—book now so you don’t miss your spot.
Don’t roll into fall with a weak immune system. Let’s strengthen your defenses before the school-year germs make their rounds.
In Health,
Dr. G
