Today’s discussion is with Chris, lab reader and health coach, alongside our co-host, as we unpack why standard lab reference ranges can often be misleading. Chris explains how many “normal” lab values are based on averages from a chronically ill population, which can cause serious health issues to go unnoticed until disease is already present. From insulin levels to metabolic markers, we explore why optimal health and “normal” are not the same thing.

We also dive into the growing role of AI in healthcare and why Chris believes algorithm-driven medicine still misses the human side of healing. While AI and standard diagnostic systems can identify patterns, they often lack the nuance, context, and individualized approach needed to truly help people heal.

Chris shares his personal story of overcoming childhood illness, leaving the traditional pre-med path after witnessing the limitations many physicians face within the current healthcare system, and building a holistic practice focused on blood chemistry interpretation, lifestyle habits, circadian rhythm optimization, behavior change, nervous system regulation, and trauma-informed healing.

Throughout the conversation, we discuss realistic health expectations, why more testing and supplements are not always the answer, the importance of sustainable lifestyle changes, and how Chris built a collaborative team of practitioners to better support clients.

If you’re frustrated with being told your labs are “normal” while still feeling unwell, this conversation offers a deeper look into the gaps in modern healthcare and the importance of individualized wellness.
