"Normal" lab ranges are based on the average sick person.
The reference range your doctor compares your bloodwork to was built from a population that includes plenty of people who don't feel well. That's why you can be exhausted, anxious, gaining weight, sleeping badly, and still get told everything looks fine.
Functional ranges are different. They're tighter. They're built on what optimal looks like, not just what's not technically diseased yet. That's the lens I read your labs through.
"I went back and pulled the same labs my doctor called normal. Everything was there. He just didn't read them through the right lens. And he didn't read them with me in mind."
