Whether you have Dr. Justin order your blood work or you bring in your own – the numbers will be put into a formulated spreadsheet. This will show the same values but with functional ranges. These ranges are different from the clinical ranges normally provided. Clinical ranges indicate a hard cut off point for pathology. We want to also address these but also the values outside of optimal ranges.
While some of the values may not require medical attention, that doesn’t mean it doesn’t need to be addressed. There is great value in addressing functional markers as they can oftentimes point us in the direction of the underlying causes. Just because lab values aren’t flagged, doesn’t mean that there aren’t indicators present that align with your symptoms.
