You’re tired, bloated, not sleeping. You’ve tried changing your diet, adding more exercise, and cutting back on caffeine. And when you finally go to the doctor, they run bloodwork… only to say: “Everything looks normal.” If that phrase makes you want to scream, you’re not alone. At Reborn, we hear this story every single day—and we’re here to tell you: just because your labs are “normal” doesn’t mean you feel your best.
“Normal” Ranges vs. Optimal Health
Conventional labs are based on broad population averages. That means the “normal range” includes a wide spectrum of people—many of whom are not actually healthy, just common.
In functional medicine, we look beyond “Are you within range?” and instead ask:
🔍 “Are these levels optimal for YOU and how you want to feel?”
For example:
- A TSH (thyroid) level of 4.0 might be “normal,” but you’re still exhausted and gaining weight.
- A vitamin D level of 31 might fall within range, but it’s not high enough to support your immune system or mood.
- Blood sugar that fluctuates at the high end of “normal” could be silently setting you up for insulin resistance.
Why Symptoms Still Matter—Even with Normal Labs
If your labs look fine, but your body says otherwise—believe your body. Fatigue, mood swings, PMS, bloating, brain fog, and stubborn weight gain aren’t “just part of getting older.” They’re signals that something deeper is going on. Functional medicine practitioners are trained to listen to those signals and connect the dots between your symptoms and underlying imbalances.
Common areas we dig deeper into include:
- Hormone health (thyroid, cortisol, estrogen/progesterone balance)
- Gut health (inflammation, dysbiosis, leaky gut)
- Nutrient status (magnesium, iron, B12, omega-3s)
- Detox pathways (liver function, methylation)
- Inflammation markers (CRP, homocysteine)
So What Does Functional Medicine Do Differently?
Rather than waiting for labs to fall out of range and trigger a diagnosis, functional medicine takes a proactive, root-cause approach.
We ask:
- What is your baseline?
- Where are your levels trending?
- What’s contributing to the dysfunction (stress, toxins, infections, lifestyle)?
- How can we use personalized nutrition, targeted supplements, and lifestyle shifts to restore balance?
This approach isn’t about treating symptoms—it’s about creating long-term healing by supporting your body at the root.
You Deserve Answers—Not Dismissals
If you’ve been told “everything’s fine” but you still don’t feel like yourself, it’s time for a different conversation.
At Reborn, we use functional medicine to uncover what’s really going on and build a plan that supports your hormones, energy, metabolism, and mood from the inside out.
Because we believe you’re not meant to settle for feeling “meh”—you’re meant to feel vibrant, strong, and fully alive.
