Normal vs Optimal-Lab Work

Why do many patients seek professional medical care for symptoms that are interfering with normal daily life? Yet, after a full work up, physical exam, blood work and diagnostic testing, they are told they are "healthy" and sent on their way. 

The problem?

Their initial symptoms are still there and if not, worse.

Most reference ranges ordered from standard labs have a broad range allowing disease progression to possibly go undetected. Functional medicine optimal ranges are usually much narrower, allowing practitioners to foresee possible dysfunction of organ systems so they may be proactive, intervene early with nutrition, supplements, and lifestyle adjustments to help patients prevent disease. 

At True Health Integrative Medicine, we can provide some guidance with blood work analysis. Despite our conventional training, we provide functional medicine principles to guide our approach to optimizing your health.
