“Normal” labs often reflect a wide population range—not what is optimal for your body. Many people experience symptoms long before traditional markers fall outside the standard reference ranges.

Functional and naturopathic medicine look deeper by evaluating:

• Patterns across multiple lab markers
• How your symptoms align with hormone or stress rhythms
• Gut health and inflammation
• Lifestyle factors affecting energy, sleep, and mood
• The difference between normal and optimal physiology

This approach helps identify imbalances that may not appear in routine lab testing but still have a meaningful impact on how you feel day-to-day.
