Your Labs Are ‘Normal’... So Why Do You Still Feel Like Crap?

You’ve been told your labs are “normal”—so why do you still feel exhausted, bloated, anxious, moody, or just off? In this episode of the Just Breathe Podcast, I’m breaking down the massive gap between what’s considered “normal” and what’s actually optimal when it comes to your bloodwork. I’ll walk you through how I look at labs through a foundational lens to catch the patterns, early signs, and subtle shifts that traditional ranges often miss. Think of it like searching for your favorite restaurant—are you using a GPS radius from Vermont to LA… or just your neighborhood? I’ll share how markers like liver enzymes, lipid panels, glucose, vitamin D, thyroid panels, and especially a CBC with differential can become a gold mine of information when you know what to look for. We’re not meant to settle for “you’re fine” when our bodies are clearly asking for support. And if this resonates with you, we’re continuing this conversation inside the Just Breathe Inner Circle—where I’ll help you understand your numbers, advocate for your health, and make real changes that move you forward.
