Why Your Blood Reports Look Normal But You Still Feel Tired, Bloated, and Stuck
If your lab reports are "normal" but you still feel tired, bloated, or unwell, this blog reveals the real reasons why — and what to do next.
“Your Reports Are Fine” — But You’re Not
- You still feel sluggish by 11 AM.
- Your gut feels bloated even after “light” meals.
- Your weight hasn’t budged in months.
- And no one has real answers.
This is more common than you think — and it’s not in your head.
Normal Isn’t Always Optimal
- An HbA1c of 5.6 might be prediabetic for one person, stable for another.
- B12 “normal” at 210 might still trigger fatigue, hair fall, and brain fog.
- ALT/AST “in range” doesn’t rule out early fatty liver or insulin resistance.
What to Look for Instead
- Lab-to-symptom matching
We ask: “Do these numbers match how your body feels?” - Functional interpretation
We assess: Is your gut absorbing nutrients? Is inflammation simmering silently? - Hidden markers of metabolic slowdown
We review ratios like: SGOT/SGPT, Triglyceride/HDL, Fasting insulin (not just fasting sugar)
What You Can Do
- ✅ Add protein + fiber to your breakfast (dal cheela + chutney > toast)
- ✅ Reduce night eating and processed snacking
- ✅ Fix gut issues first — most fatigue starts there
- ✅ Track how you feel weekly — not just your numbers quarterly
Food First. Always.
At About Nutrition, we’ve seen hundreds of women and men finally get answers — not just from new labs, but from how food and patterns interact with their health.
If you’re “technically normal” but feel far from well — trust your body.
