Many of us feel pressure to order more labs and scans, whether for reassurance or curiosity. But testing isn't always the answer. In this episode, I walk through how to know if a test is actually worth it. You'll learn why normal results don't always mean you're healthy, why abnormal results don't always mean you're sick, and how to avoid wasting time and money on unnecessary panels. I'll also share a simple checklist you can use before saying "yes" to any test, plus which early tools can be genuinely helpful.
