02 | Why Your Labs Are Normal But You Still Feel Awful

December 18, 2025 • Olivia Caggiano

In this episode, Olivia unpacks one of the most confusing experiences in modern healthcare: being told your labs are “normal” while your body clearly feels anything but. She explores why conventional lab testing is designed to detect disease (not dysfunction) and why symptoms often appear long before anything looks “wrong” on paper.

Through a grounded, educational lens, Olivia explains the limitations of population-based lab ranges, snapshot testing, and symptom-focused care, while inviting listeners to reconnect with their lived experience as valid data. This conversation is about understanding your body’s signals, reclaiming agency in your health, and learning why feeling unwell deserves curiosity.

This episode is for women navigating chronic symptoms, unanswered questions, and the desire to understand what their body is truly communicating.
