“Your labs are normal.”
…but are they actually optimal?
At WNY Integrative Wellness, we look beyond the broad “normal” ranges and focus on how you actually FEEL. Many people are told their labs are “fine” while still struggling with fatigue, hair loss, low energy, brain fog, poor recovery, low mood, and more.
Here are a few examples of NORMAL vs OPTIMAL:
🩸 Vitamin B12
“Normal” lab range may start around 200
Many people feel best with levels 750+
Low or low-normal B12 may contribute to:
✔ Fatigue
✔ Brain fog
✔ Tingling/numbness
✔ Low mood
✔ Poor focus
☀️ Vitamin D
Labs may call 30 “normal”
We often aim for 70+
Low vitamin D may contribute to:
✔ Low immunity
✔ Fatigue
✔ Depression
✔ Muscle aches
✔ Hair thinning
🩸 Ferritin (Iron Storage)
You may be told your iron is “normal” even with a ferritin of 15–30
We often aim for 70+
Low ferritin may contribute to:
✔ Hair loss/shedding
✔ Fatigue
✔ Shortness of breath
✔ Restless legs
✔ Exercise intolerance
