Spoiler alert: the title's a bit of a misnomer— it isn't that your labs say you're good, it's that your labs say you are normal. Out of an average range from patients all across, this is what's usual and expected. It works for functional medicine, but for longevity medicine, the bar we're aiming for is a little higher. Instead of fixing what's broken, we try to fine-tune what might fail. Don't worry: On this episode of Doctor Heather Evans with The BioBeautiful Effect, the doctor's here to tell you all about it.

If you lie awake at night, your mind might be filled with questions, but don't worry: the doctor is here to tell you all about it.
