Accidentally diagnosing someone is quite different from someone healthy trying to 'optimize' their health, whatever that means...



Strong disagree, diagnosing chronic dysfunction is essential to optimizing health. There's a big difference between an optimal blood glucose range and one that triggers insurance companies to authorize treatment. If you only pay attention to the later it could cost years of healthy life.
