Functional Blood Chemistry Analysis

NORMAL ISN'T HEALTHY
Many people are told their blood work results are “normal”, even though their results are not ideal or healthy.
Western Medicine Laboratories base their results upon the AVERAGE POPULATION, which means that their normal range gets wider as the general population gets sicker.
Why would we compare our health to a population that is already sick and dysfunctional? Functional Medicine results are based on the HEALTHY POPULATION, aiming to provide a true benchmark for optimal health, not just what is "normal."
A Functional Blood Chemistry Analysis provides a holistic, comprehensive picture of health by identifying present and potential vitamin and mineral deficiencies, imbalances, or dysfunctions—often before disease even occurs. With personalized action plans, it helps prevent dysfunction before it begins and, in many cases, reveals the messages the body has been trying to communicate all along.
Why settle for "normal" when you can have OPTIMAL health?
OPTIMAL vs. NORMAL
Western medicine creates normal lab ranges based on the average health of a large group of people, including both healthy individuals and those with chronic illness. This means "normal" numbers don’t always reflect true health. Functional medicine, on the other hand, bases its optimal ranges on people who are truly healthy and thriving, aiming to identify what helps the body function at its best.
ADDRESS DYSFUNCTION
With the right tools and knowledge, practitioners use functional blood chemistry ranges to suggest supplements or lifestyle changes. For example, if a client’s fasting blood glucose is too high, the practitioner may recommend diet and exercise. If follow-up tests show no improvement, they might adjust the treatment plan or do further testing.
A Functional Blood Chemistry Analysis is about tracking trends over time. By testing blood regularly, practitioners can see how a client’s glucose levels change and whether their treatment is working. It also helps guide future testing. Instead of recommending many different tests, some of which may be expensive or invasive, practitioners can use a simple, inexpensive blood test to gather useful information. If more testing is needed, they can focus on the most relevant options.

WHAT DOES THE REPORT LOOK LIKE?
A Functional Blood Chemistry Analysis (FBCA) is a confidential PDF Report that is 25+ pages in length. An FBCA PDF Report explains blood test results in detail using colorful graphics and easy-to-understand language. Specifically, the FBCA report analyzes Functional Body Systems, Accessory Systems, Nutrient Status, and Nutrient Deficiencies based on a person’s blood test results. See the SAMPLE REPORT HERE.
WHERE CAN I GET BLOOD DRAWN FOR THE REPORT?
Legacy Wellness does not conduct blood testing on-site.
1. Your can ask your healthcare provider to order the recommended lab panels listed below.
OR
2. You can choose to have Legacy Wellness order them to be drawn at your nearest Labcorp.
OR
3. You can use existing lab work. While it's ideal to provide results from the recommended panels, any recent lab work can be incorporated into your report.
