Have you ever been told “your blood tests are fine” — but deep down you know something still isn’t right?
This is one of the most common frustrations I hear from clients. They feel exhausted, bloated, moody, or plagued by nagging symptoms… yet their blood test results come back “normal.”
The truth is: normal isn’t always optimal. Think about it this way: the majority of people getting blood tests are those who aren’t feeling their best. The range of “normal” on regular blood tests is based on people not in ideal or optimal health. The ranges I’m looking at are optimal ranges, where people in good health would be.
My own blood test health journey
For the last couple of years, I dealt with symptoms that didn’t make sense. Because I always like to try things out myself, I was my first test case.
- Hives that would flare on and off. These did improve with herbs and dietary changes, but didn’t clear completely.
- Palpitations that left me anxious. I thought they were to do with low iron, but there was another cause.
- Changes in my hair health.
- Constant hunger and food cravings, even though I was eating well and following Metabolic Balance.
Every time I had routine blood work, I was told that everything looked “within range.” The only issue was low vitamin D, which is pretty common.
But when I finally saw my results through functional and naturopathic ranges, I finally saw what was really going on.
By addressing the hidden imbalances, and fine-tuning my diet and supplements, my hives disappeared, my heart settled, my hair began to improve, and those cravings faded, all within a few short weeks!
It was a game-changer — and it’s exactly why I now offer this deeper level of interpretation for my clients.
What I’ve seen in clients blood tests
Since introducing my Optimal Blood Health Review, every single client so far has revealed hidden causes in their results.
Sometimes it’s:
- Suboptimal iron or B12 that explains fatigue, low mood, and low immunity.
- Early thyroid imbalances linked to weight changes, hair thinning, anxiety or low mood.
- Nutrient deficiencies (like zinc or vitamin D) contributing to skin issues, fertility challenges, or poor immunity.
- Blood sugar shifts or nutrient deficiencies can cause constant hunger or cravings.
- Low cholesterol and triglycerides which are affecting hormones and fertility
These are things that often don’t show up as “abnormal” in standard lab ranges, but they still make a big impact on how you feel.
Why this matters
When we look at blood tests through a wider lens, we can:
- Catch problems early before they develop into bigger issues.
- Personalise your care instead of relying on one-size-fits-all advice.
- Connect the dots between your symptoms and what’s happening in your body.
- Give you clarity so you can finally understand what your results mean.
The next step
If you’ve been told “everything looks fine” but you know something isn’t right, I’d love to help.
My Optimal Blood Health Review is designed to uncover the root causes hidden in your blood tests — and guide you with practical, naturopathic steps to restore balance.
👉 If you’re a current client, get in touch to get more information about which bloods tests you need and then you can organise a follow-up appointment to go through results once they are back.
👉If you’re a new client the best action is to book a Naturopathic-First Visit and we can discuss the best direction to take with getting bloods done, and decide which blood tests are a priority.
