When Your Labs Say “You’re Fine” But You Feel Like Trash

Let’s talk about that awkward moment when your doctor looks at you, smiles, and says,“Good news—your labs look totally normal!”

...While you’re sitting there, barely functioning, wondering if you imagined the last 6 months of symptoms.

The fatigue. The brain fog. The panic out of nowhere. The rashes. The bloating. The feeling that your body is quietly staging a rebellion.

Yeah, been there.

Here’s the thing: Western medicine has its strengths, but it tends to operate inside a very tight little box—what I call the “predetermined criteria.” If you don’t check enough of their boxes, your symptoms often get brushed off as stress, hormones, aging, or worse... “Maybe it’s all in your head.”

But chronic inflammation? Environmental toxicity? Mold illness? Nervous system dysregulation?Those don’t always show up on a standard lab panel.

That doesn’t mean they’re not real.

It just means you’re asking the wrong questions in the wrong system.

At Root Level Living, we work with people who’ve felt dismissed, confused, and gaslit by the traditional medical world. People whose test results say “normal,” but whose lived experience says something is really wrong.

We believe you. We’ve lived it. And we know how to work outside the box.Because healing doesn’t come from fitting into someone else’s criteria—it comes from listening to your body, getting to the root, and supporting your system in ways that make sense.

If you’ve ever left a doctor’s office with zero answers and a whole lot of “maybe try yoga?”—you’re in the right place.

You’re not crazy. You’re not broken. You’re just not textbook.And that’s where the real healing begins.
