Episode Description from the Publisher

If you've ever sat in a doctor's office, struggling with symptoms, only to be told your labs look perfectly fine, you're not alone. Who do you trust when your body tells you something is wrong, but on paper it says you're "within a normal range"?    In this episode, Jim LaValle, RPh, CCN, discusses the frustrating disconnect between feeling "off" and having "normal" lab results. In a traditional medical setting, "normal" often means you don't have a disease yet, which means it may be necessary to take a more comprehensive look to understand the direction your health is trending. It also means you can't ignore your symptoms.    LaValle shares the potential of a preventive approach to change your trajectory and the value of understanding your lab patterns over time.   This episode of Life Time Talks is part of our series on Performance and Longevity with MIORA.
