In today’s episode, we’re unpacking a topic that resonates with so many dealing with chronic symptoms: the discrepancy between normal labs and how you actually feel.
If you’ve ever been told that your labs are normal while still struggling with fatigue, bloating, pain, or PMS, you’re definitely not alone. We’ll explore why “normal” doesn’t always equate to “healthy” and how functional nutrition can help uncover deeper issues.
In this episode, you’ll hear about:
- The common experience of being told your lab results are normal despite ongoing symptoms.
- How functional nutrition offers an alternative perspective focused on optimal health rather than merely catching diseases.
- Real-life example of a client whose conventional lab results appeared normal but revealed deeper issues through a functional analysis.
- Busting myths surrounding lab tests and endometriosis diagnosis.
- The importance of looking for suboptimal lab markers in the context of functional ranges.
- How conventional medicine differs from functional nutrition in addressing chronic symptoms and fatigue.
- The significance of understanding blood sugar, thyroid functions, and gut health from a functional viewpoint.
- Exploring comprehensive blood work and functional tests like GI Map, DUTCH test, and more.
- The holistic perspective of functional nutrition – looking at the whole person, lifestyle, and interconnected symptoms.
- Practical steps and next actions for listeners wanting to explore functional nutrition as a solution to chronic issues.
If you’re tired of being told your symptoms are in your head or that your lab results are fine, this episode is for you. Let’s dive into the world of functional nutrition together!
