Dr. Brent Brotzman on Why “Normal Labs” Often Miss the Earliest Signs of Metabolic Breakdown

AUSTIN, TX – January 12, 2026 – PRESSADVANTAGE –

It begins quietly, years earlier, with subtle metabolic shifts that go unnoticed, unexplained, or dismissed as “normal.”

Opti Metabolics was built because of this gap.

Based in Austin, Texas, Opti Metabolics is a proactive metabolic health company founded on a simple belief: waiting for disease is the wrong model. Its co-founder, Dr. Brent Brotzman, has spent decades in medicine observing a pattern that traditional healthcare systems are not designed to address — early metabolic dysfunction that develops long before standard labs cross diagnostic thresholds.

“Most people don’t suddenly become unhealthy,” said Dr. Brotzman. “They experience years of small, accumulating signals like fatigue, weight gain, brain fog, declining energy, while being reassured their labs look ‘normal.’ Metabolic dysfunction doesn’t appear overnight; it develops gradually, long before disease is diagnosed. By the time intervention begins, those early signals have often been present for years.”

Recent research suggests that 93 percent of American adults show signs of metabolic syndrome, yet the majority are reassured during routine checkups because individual markers fall within broad reference ranges. According to Dr. Brotzman, this reactive framework leaves people without clarity, and without a plan, during the years when intervention is most effective.

Opti Metabolics exists to change that.

Rather than focusing solely on disease detection, Opti was designed to help people understand how their metabolism is functioning before chronic conditions develop. The company brings together advanced biomarker testing, education that translates complex data into plain language, and personalized coaching that helps individuals turn insight into sustainable action.

“We don’t believe people need more willpower or more guessing,” Dr. Brotzman said. “They need understanding. Once you understand what your body is responding to, change becomes possible, and sustainable.”

This proactive approach represents a fundamental shift in how health is approached: away from reactive care and toward early awareness, personal agency, and long-term metabolic strength. Educational initiatives, including Dr. Brotzman’s Metabolic Rebellion podcast, further reinforce Opti’s mission to make metabolic science accessible and actionable for everyday life.

Opti Metabolics serves individuals who want to take ownership of their health early, not out of fear, but out of intention. By helping people see what’s happening beneath the surface, Opti aims to support earlier understanding before metabolic issues progress into more serious, long-term conditions.
