At South Florida Integrative Health Center, we believe that understanding your body begins with interpreting your lab results through a functional medicine lens — not just seeing whether values fall within “normal” ranges. Our Functional Medicine Lab Review service offers a deep, personalized interpretation of your laboratory data to uncover underlying imbalances, identify root causes of chronic symptoms, and build a roadmap toward lasting wellness.
Patients who have felt “off” despite seemingly normal lab results often find that nuanced interpretation reveals hidden opportunities for improvement. Our approach prioritizes optimal health markers, not just disease thresholds, so you can truly optimize your vitality and prevent future chronic illness.
What Is a Functional Medicine Lab Review?
Traditional medicine typically flags only results that indicate disease — focusing on what is medically abnormal. In contrast, functional medicine lab review goes much deeper. It examines your results within the context of optimal functional ranges, your personal history, and your current symptoms. This method allows skilled practitioners to detect hidden imbalances before they evolve into serious health concerns.
During this highly detailed review, your functional lab findings are analyzed to map out the complex interactions of your endocrine, metabolic, immune, and digestive systems, ensuring that nothing gets overlooked. It’s a 90-minute personalized session designed to empower you with clarity and direction for improving your health.
Why Functional Lab Interpretation Matters
Even if your lab results fall within what most labs consider “normal,” you may still be experiencing symptoms like fatigue, digestive discomfort, hormonal imbalance, or unexplained weight changes. That’s because “normal” laboratory ranges are based on averages from broad populations — not on optimal physiology.
Functional medicine focuses on optimal ranges and treats each biomarker as a potential key to better health. This approach enables early detection of subtle imbalances and a more nuanced understanding of your health status, helping you take proactive control rather than waiting for illness to manifest.
Who Can Benefit from a Lab Review?
Our Functional Medicine Lab Review is ideal for:
Current patients who have new lab results
New patients who ordered labs independently or have results from another provider
Anyone who feels unwell despite “normal” lab numbers
Individuals seeking answers about chronic health issues
Whether your labs were obtained through us, another clinician, or an online lab service, we can review them and translate them into actionable insights for your health journey.
What Happens During the Review Session
Expect an immersive, one-on-one conversation with Dr. Durrell or our expert team. This is more than a simple interpretation — it’s an interactive dialogue where your questions are welcomed and every finding is discussed in practical, understandable terms.
During the session, you will:
Go over each lab marker in detail
Understand how your numbers compare to functional optimal ranges
Learn how markers relate to symptoms you may be experiencing
Explore how your diet, stress, sleep, environmental exposures, and lifestyle impact your results
Receive a personalized action plan with clear strategies

Functional Medicine vs. Traditional Lab Interpretation
One common question we receive is how functional lab review differs from traditional lab interpretation. In conventional care, labs are viewed primarily to identify disease — focusing on whether values are statistically typical for the general population. Functional medicine, on the other hand:
Looks for imbalances early, before disease develops
Interprets values in relation to your lifestyle, symptoms, and personal health history
Prioritizes optimal wellness ranges, not just “normal” ones
Uses results to guide root-cause interventions, not only symptom management
This difference is what makes functional interpretation a key asset for proactive health management.
Conditions Commonly Clarified Through Lab Review
Functional lab reviews can help make sense of results for conditions such as:
Chronic fatigue
Digestive disorders
Hormonal or thyroid imbalance
Inflammation or immune dysregulation
Nutrient deficiencies
Stress-related hormonal shifts
Aging and metabolic challenges
By bridging the gap between lab data and clinical symptoms, we help you understand not just what is “off,” but why and how to fix it.
