Today in this episode, I go over 10 normal lab results that are actually red flags. When your doctor says your lab results are "normal," it simply means you haven't been flagged for immediate danger or disease. However, "normal" does not mean your body is thriving or operating at its optimal level. I break down the gap between standard conventional lab ranges and the optimal ranges used by functional medicine practitioners. Tune in to learn what your body is actually trying to tell you through these standard lab markers so you can catch metabolic and hormonal issues before they develop into chronic diseases.
