98. What is “Optimal” Bloodwork?

Reminder: I’m not a medical doctor. I do not interpret bloodwork.  But I do get a lot of questions about bloodwork.  “What’s the difference between normal & optimal bloodwork?” “What do I do if my labs are abnormal?” “What can I do with the information from my bloodwork?” Whether you’ve been getting bloodwork for years or you’re just about to get your first full bloodwork panel of your life—this episode is sure to help you! In this episode, we’ll dig into: Brief overview of how bloodwork ranges work What optimal vs normal bloodwork is If normal ranges ever shift How bloodwork differs from provider to provider How to make the most of your full bloodwork panel What to know if you have abnormal lab values Lab ranges are based on large populations—they’re not based on you. I can’t stress the importance of making sure you have bloodwork done and that you work with a provider who can help you make sense of your unique situation.
