What if the real health issue isn’t disease — but adaptation?
In this episode of Your Infinite Health, we unpack a belief that quietly keeps people stuck: the idea that normal equals healthy.
LeNae Goolsby and Trip Goolsby, MD explore the space between being clinically “fine” and actually feeling well — the gray zone where fatigue, pain, brain fog, poor sleep, and declining resilience quietly take root.
You’ll learn why:
“Normal” lab results often miss early dysfunctionChronic stress doesn’t cause immediate disease — it causes adaptationPushing harder can worsen symptoms instead of resolving themBiological reserve functions like a health savings accountMind–body work is physiology, not positivityEarly warning signs are a gift — not something to ignoreThis conversation reframes health as capacity, resilience, and repair — not symptom suppression — and explains how changing the signals your body receives can restore momentum before breakdown occurs.
If you’ve ever been told everything looks fine but you don’t feel fine, this episode is for you.
