Tired of Being Told Your Labs Are Fine?
There isn’t a day that goes by when I don’t hear: "I went to my doctor, and they said my labs are fine, but I still feel terrible!"
To which I usually respond: "I don’t treat blood tests—I treat people."
Don’t get me wrong—blood tests are important. But they need to be interpreted in the context of the individual sitting before me.
The Two Biggest Issues
The first issue? What blood tests were actually run? The second issue? If specialized tests like hormone panels or thyroid markers are run, their values are often misinterpreted or too generalized based on population reference ranges.
What I Look For
Your "normal" might not fit within those standard ranges. That’s why I look deeper:
- Detailed lipid panels
- Inflammatory markers
- Metabolic testing
- Vitamin levels
- Thyroid and hormone panels
- Comprehensive blood counts
The Reality
Here’s the truth: it’s rare—actually, it’s never happened—that I haven’t found something off when I dig deeper.
Detection is half the battle, and solving it is the other half. With over 40 years of experience, it’s still exciting for me to see patients come back and say: "I feel amazing!"
"Give me a year—I’m conducting an orchestra, and sometimes the violin section just isn’t getting it right at first!"
