Are your Labs Normal, Or Optimal?
Has this ever happened to you?
Your doctor’s office calls with the standard line: “Your labs look normal … maybe your cholesterol’s a bit high … but all OK."
And that’s it. No explanation. No context. No mention of important markers like vitamin D or magnesium (which, by the way, insurance often doesn’t even cover - kind of crazy).
But we're busy - so content with the normal labs, and we're off to the next thing.
There's just one problem …
Conventional labs are often black and white: you’re either fine or you’re not.
But the truth is, there’s a world of shades of gray in between—levels where you may not be sick, but you’re definitely not thriving.
👉 This is where functional medicine takes a different approach.
