Summary
Have you noticed that an over-obsession with health research and chasing the symptom rabbit down all the black holes online can create an unhealthy lifestyle?
There is a term for an obsession with excessive elimination diets, and being overly concerned with avoiding foods you believe to be harmful:
It's called orthorexia.
Being obsessed with your health sounds like a great thing on the surface when you're dealing with disease or physical distress, but the truth is that we as humans tend to have a fundamental flaw:
Thinking that more analysis and more testing will lead to better wellness results.
On this podcast with Dr. Michael Ruscio, we're discover the underlying issues that cause this need for perfection, and how to focus in on the few lab tests and strategies that will have the most impact on our well-being.
