Optimal Functional Range

Meaning

The Optimal Functional Range (OFR) is a clinically derived, narrow subset of laboratory values that represents the physiological sweet spot for maximum health, vitality, and functional capacity, distinct from the broader, statistically derived standard reference range. This personalized range is determined by correlating laboratory biomarker results with a patient’s clinical presentation, symptomology, and health goals. Operating within the OFR is a core principle of proactive, preventative medicine, aiming for true physiological optimization rather than merely avoiding overt disease pathology.
