Intentional Medicine with Dr. Priti Singh

Welcome to another episode of Intentional Medicine with Dr. Singh, where we explore the real meaning of health design in a system built to manage disease. Today, we're diving into a topic that often goes unquestioned in modern healthcare, more testing. From annual lab panels and advanced diagnostics to wearable trackers and direct-to-consumer tests, health data is everywhere. But does more data always translate to better health? Join us as Dr. Priti Singh unpacks the surprising downsides of overtesting, explains why testing should serve a purpose rather than satisfy anxiety, and reveals how intentional diagnostic strategies can transform healthcare from noise to true insight. If you've ever wondered if all that testing is actually helping or possibly harming your health journey, you won’t want to miss this conversation.00:00 The pitfalls of overtesting04:05 Importance of clinical context in testing06:28 Overtesting pitfalls in healthcare10:04 Understanding test results and interpretation13:22 Hypervigilance fatigue from health data18:08 Understanding TSH levels and ranges21:47 Interpreting lab test results26:19 Impact of glucose monitoring tools30:09 Focusing on foundational health habits33:59 Making informed decisions about testing35:12 Timing matters in cortisol testing

Welcome to the first episode of Intentional Medicine with Dr. Priti Singh, where we pull back the curtain on what it means to truly take control of your health in a system designed to manage disease, not prevent it.
