Reason 1: You’re relying on standard labs, not functional ones.
Most conventional labs are designed to catch disease — not dysfunction.

That means things like estrogen dominance, sluggish cortisol patterns, poor detox pathways, or mineral imbalances often slip right through the cracks.

Functional labs like DUTCH, GI-MAP, and HTMA dig deeper — helping us understand what’s actually going on behind the fatigue, mood swings, bloat, and weight resistance.

Reason 2: You’re being compared to “normal” — not optimal.
Lab ranges from your doctor are often based on the average population — and let’s be honest, the average person doesn’t feel amazing.

In functional work, we look at optimal ranges — where vibrant energy, balanced moods, strong metabolism, and deep sleep actually live. You don’t want average. You want thriving.

Reason 3: You’re asking the right questions, but in the wrong office.
Most doctors are doing their best — but their job is to rule out disease, not necessarily to uncover root imbalances.

When your labs are “fine” but your body’s not, it’s time for a deeper lens.
