It’s time to change our expectations for health

Patients aren’t satisfied with “normal” health — for many, “normal” health still leaves them suffering from dysfunction like fatigue, inflammation, chronic pain and other conditions that don’t meet the criteria to be considered disease. At Optimal DX, we aren’t satisfied with “normal” either. We work tirelessly to ensure that practitioners have the tools and resources necessary to guide their patients on their path to optimal health.

Allopathic medicine often dismisses patient concerns when they don’t meet the strict definition of clinical disease. At Optimal DX, we believe that patients’ lives can be improved even if they don’t suffer from a narrowly defined disease. Too often, medical practitioners forget that health exists on a spectrum; not as a binary between healthy and sick.

Everything in medicine comes down to one thing: the patient. At Optimal DX, our tools and resources are focused on improving patients’ lives. We believe that patients’ medical practitioners are the best at driving patient outcomes, so we strive to set practitioners up for success from the very start by enabling them to have better conversations with their patients.
