If you’ve ever been told, “Your labs are normal,” but still feel tired, foggy, or off — you’re not
alone. This is one of the most common situations internal medicine doctors hear about
daily. Normal labs don’t always mean optimal health.

Your blood work might technically be ‘within range,’ but that range is wide and not
personalized to your body. More importantly, some of the most impactful symptoms —
fatigue, brain fog, mood swings, bloating — aren’t always linked to abnormal labs at all.

What can you do?

• Start with symptom tracking — what feels off and when?
  
• Look at your lifestyle — sleep, stress, hydration, and diet can mask deeper issues.
  
• Talk to a board-certified doctor who listens — not just one who reads numbers.
  

If something feels wrong, it deserves to be decoded. Your body knows. You’re not imagining
it.
