How we interpret it
We read every panel through a functional lens — optimal reference ranges, ratios, and cross-panel patterns. Results become part of your written Root Cause Report and your personalized 12-week protocol.
We support the building blocks — minerals, amino acids, B vitamins, and gut health — and never replace medical care for mental health.
