Have you ever felt โoffโ ๐ but your doctor assured you that your lab tests are normal and that you just need to rest more?
The conventional medicine mantra can sometimes feel like, โDonโt trouble trouble until trouble troubles you.โ So, if your lab ranges are more or less โnormal,โ or if some indicators are only slightly outside the normal range, you may be told thereโs nothing to worry about. ๐คฏ
But โnormalโ doesnโt always mean โoptimal.โ ๐
โโ๏ธ
Blood test results can provide an in-depth look at your health, but the key is assessing them using โFunctionalโ ranges rather than only the labโs โClinicalโ ranges. Why? ๐ฌ
๐ซ Clinical ranges can be broad and are primarily used to help identify or diagnose disease.
The truth is, when your results come back as โnormal,โ it doesnโt necessarily mean youโre completely healthy or functioning at your best. ๐ก
โ The Clinical range is used to help identify and diagnose disease.
โ
The Functional range looks more closely at patterns and potential areas of imbalance or risk.
The degree of variance allowed within these โnormalโ ranges is one of the fundamental differences between Functional and Clinical interpretations of lab test results. ๐
As a Functional Medicine practice, we dig deeper and look at each number ๐ in the context of your specific symptoms, health history, genetics, environment, and lifestyle.
