Your labs came back normal and you still feel like you're running at 45 percent. That's not a contradiction.A reference range is a population average. It tells you where most people fall. It was never designed to tell you how you should feel at six in the evening.So people do the reasonable thing. They order another panel. See another specialist. Add another bottle. Months go by, money goes out, and how they actually feel never changes.In this episode Dr. Taj Haynes and Tracy break down the
