Ever wondered why your doctor does your blood work and tells you that it’s “normal, even though you still feel like trash?

This is because "normal" reference ranges do not mean "optimal".

We’re talking about the difference between “normal” and “optimal”, how you can easily understand your blood or other lab results without going back to school to become a doctor, and what other options there are to see what’s actually going on, so you can truly understand why you feel like crap.

TOPICS DISCUSSED:

• Normal vs Optimal
• How to easily understand your blood work and other lab tests
• What other tests you can do that are actually useful
• How to compare "optimal" or "functional medicine" ranges vs what your doctor calls "normal"
• Alternative options for help with your health

One of the biggest contributors to long term bowel disease, and your inability to heal, is nutrient deficiencies. This is dangerous because your body needs raw materials – nutrient deficiencies disrupt cellular signalling, weaken your ability to repair, and they force your immune system to operate in a constant state of chaos and breakdown, which is one of the reasons IBD appears to be autoimmune, even though it isn’t.

TOPICS DISCUSSED:

• The role of nutrients in healing and immunity
• The top nutrients you're deficient on and what each of them do for you
• The symptoms of specific nutrient deficiencies
• How to get them into your body safely, and effetively
