Did you know that up to 30% of lab tests are unnecessary or inappropriate? In this eye-opening episode of the Dr. Josh Axe Show, we dive deep into the world of blood work and reveal what your standard tests might be missing. With the U.S. spending nearly $96 billion annually on clinical lab tests, it's crucial to understand their limitations and explore alternative ways to assess your true health status.

Join Dr. Josh Axe as he uncovers:

• The shocking gaps in common blood tests and why they might not reflect your actual cellular health

• Why mitochondrial function and cellular energy production are key to overall wellness

• The hidden impact of toxins and heavy metals that standard tests often overlook

• How inflammation at the cellular level can go undetected by routine blood work

• Essential tests beyond the basics that provide a more comprehensive health picture

Discover why feeling good might be more important than perfect lab results and learn about cutting-edge tests that assess your biological age, gut microbiome, and oxidative stress levels. Dr. Axe shares his top recommendations for boosting cellular health and energy, detoxifying your body, and supplying essential nutrients for optimal function.

Tune in to gain invaluable insights into taking control of your health beyond the numbers on your lab report. You'll walk away with actionable steps to enhance your cellular health and a deeper understanding of what it truly means to be healthy at your core.
