Description

💬 "Having normal labs doesn't necessarily mean you're healthy. It just means at that point in time, whatever we were looking for, we maybe didn't find."

⚡ In this episode, I explain why those "normal" lab results might be giving you a false sense of security, and how leaning on them alone could let serious issues slip by. Trust me, it's a common trap in medicine that can have real consequences for your long-term health. Because yes—maybe your labs are fine, but that doesn't mean you're out of the woods yet.

🎧 Stay tuned to find out:

• ➡ Why you shouldn't be complacent and dismiss your symptoms just because the numbers on your labs look "normal" and "fine"
• ➡ How a time gap in testing can miss brewing problems, making "normal" feel like a ticking clock
• ➡ The dangers of assuming "normal" means the same for everyone, especially when race or trends aren't considered
• ➡ Why the doctor-patient relationship is one of the most important relationships you need to have
• ➡ How complacency with good labs can hide underlying risks like family history or lifestyle factors
• ➡ Why trusting your body and pushing for more detective work is key when doctors hit a wall
