A conventional reference range is built to flag disease. It is wide by design, and it only turns abnormal once something has already gone wrong. That is why “everything looks normal” and “I feel terrible” can both be true at the same time.

My Health Optimized scores each marker against functional-medicine optimal ranges as well — the narrower band associated with feeling and functioning well. Green means thriving. Amber means drifting. Coral means this is where to focus.

The scoring is a wellness and education tool. It does not diagnose anything, and it is not a substitute for your clinician’s reading of the same results.
