You sat in your GP's office, they handed you your results, and they said the words you've probably heard before: "Everything looks normal." And you smiled and said thank you, and got back in your car, and felt utterly lost. Because normal doesn't explain why you're so tired. It doesn't explain the bloating, the brain fog, the sense that something just isn't right. Here's the thing, normal and optimal are not the same, and understanding that difference can change everything.
