Functional Blood Chemistry

Functional Blood Chemistry is the study of lab results from blood chemistry. During the analysis of blood chemistry there are two different types of ranges, pathological and functional. The pathological ranges look for disease, where as functional ranges are used to assess for risk of disease before disease develops. After receiving blood results and assessing for any functional imbalances, the doctors will make recommendations on diet, lifestyle and supplements needed to correct the imbalance. In some cases functional imbalances help uncover sub clinical conditions which need medical attention and a proper referral is made to make this correction.

So remember that in the continuum between health and death there are various stages some are illustrated bellow.
