Have you ever been told your lab results are “normal” — even though you feel anything but normal?

In this solo episode, I uncover the hidden truth about standard lab ranges and why they often fail to catch problems early. The healthcare system calls “average” normal, but average in today’s world usually means overweight, inflamed, and metabolically broken. No wonder so many people are left exhausted, gaining weight, and struggling with brain fog — while their labs say “everything’s fine.”

✅ Why “normal” lab ranges only reflect averages, not health ✅ The critical difference between normal and optimal values ✅ How functional medicine catches problems years before traditional medicine does ✅ Real examples of thyroid, iron, and vitamin D labs that were “normal” but far from healthy ✅ Steps you can take today to move beyond average and start aiming for optimal

00:00 — Introduction and Episode Overview 00:08 — The Frustration of Normal Lab Results 02:05 — Normal Is Just Average (and Average Isn’t Healthy) 04:54 — The Pitfalls of Conventional Lab Ranges 05:32 — Free Breakthrough Training: Why 88% of Americans are metabolically broken 06:12 — By the Time Labs Call It Abnormal, the Damage Is Done 08:26 — The Functional Medicine Approach 09:14 — Optimal Ranges Change Everything 09:52 — Optimizing Your Health 11:34 — Conclusion and Next Steps
