I am a self-proclaimed optimal lab work nerd. Labs tell a beautiful story and give us tangible data to work with. They are an integral piece to the puzzle when working with herbs and supplementation, but in reality, I'd love to be able to look at all my patient's labs before starting any course of treatment.
Looking at labs from an optimal range is drastically different than what you may be used to at your annual physical.
Optimal ranges are what we want to use for optimal health. Conversely, the ranges you will generally see from your doctor are based on the a statistical analysis of the population. That means that an average is taken from all of the people getting labs and this becomes the marker's range. The problem with this is that age, underlying health, and medications are not factored in.
Unfortunately, our population is sicker than it ever has been so the question becomes, is this what you want to gauge your lab results on?
Optimal lab work analysis is only available for current clients as part of the holistic work we do, if you'd like to inquire more about options to work with me, click below.
