Ep. 38 - Beyond the Basics: What Your Lab Tests Are Missing

Most patients walk out of their annual physical thinking their blood work tells the full story — but it doesn't. Standard labs can miss critical markers of heart disease, inflammation, nutrient status, and even future risk of chronic illness. In this episode, Dr. Caitlin Prickett and Jeffery Runyon break down the difference between basic and advanced lab testing — and explain why going deeper could save your life. We'll talk about which biomarkers matter most, what they reveal about your health, and how a personalized approach to lab work can transform prevention, longevity, and everyday wellness.
