A free class with Dr. Daniel Tagge
How to Make Sense of Your Lab Results
Understanding the difference between normal and optimal.
A result inside a reference range is one part of the picture. In this free class, I’ll show you how I think about context, patterns, and change over time without treating any one number as a universal target.
Inside the class
What we’ll cover
- 01What a laboratory reference range can and cannot tell you
- 02Why a trend may be more useful than one isolated result
- 03How common markers can relate to one another
- 04Why more testing is not always the next step
Useful afterward
Better questions for your own care
- Read a result with more context and fewer assumptions
- Notice questions worth asking about a pattern or change over time
- Bring better questions to a conversation with your own clinician
