Functional Medicine Lab Interpretation

Meaning

Functional Medicine Lab Interpretation is a clinical methodology that involves evaluating standard and specialized laboratory test results using optimal or functional reference ranges, often narrower than conventional pathological ranges, to identify subtle imbalances and underlying root causes of chronic dysfunction. This approach focuses on assessing physiological reserve, nutrient status, and metabolic pathways, such as hormonal cascades and detoxification capacity, rather than simply diagnosing overt disease. It translates complex biochemical data into actionable clinical insights for personalized health and wellness strategies.
