Summary
Have you noticed how it’s more-more-more labs your doctor orders? Ever wonder WHY? Why would a healthy woman (me) go for routine annual labs and be asked for $2,600? Let’s talk about my research leading me to wonder if lab tests are really a good measure of our health. And, please let me know if you want me to write a book about this! (I’m working on it, assuming you do!)

| 0:00.0 | So we're in an environment where doctors love to prescribe labs because patients love to get them |
| 0:09.9 | because they think it tells them the status of their health. You deserve informed consent. |
| 0:15.5 | Your lab test should inform, not scare you into dependency. So if your lab work comes with a prescription, but no lifestyle |
| 0:24.3 | discussion, that's a big red flag right there. Ready to live at the higher vibrations where peace, |
| 0:32.8 | love, joy, and good health are the daily standard? That's what this show is all about. Welcome to Vibe. |
| 0:40.0 | And here's your host, Robin OpenShaw. Hey everyone, Robin OpenShaw here. Welcome to the Vibe Show. |
| 0:47.7 | And today I want to talk to you about lab tests and how when we used to have just a handful of them a generation or two ago, |
| 0:58.0 | we now have literally hundreds and hundreds of them. And this sort of became a front of mind for me |
| 1:07.0 | when I went in for my annual lab testing, which every year I debate whether I'm even |
| 1:11.3 | going to do lab testing anymore. I've had so many strange experiences with labs, which I'll |
| 1:16.9 | talk about a couple of them in this episode today. But I went in for my annual lab testing, |

| 1:31.9 | And I just laughed out loud and I said, hey, thanks. |
| 1:34.7 | No, but no thanks. |
| 1:36.6 | And just walked back out the door and told my practitioner, yeah, I'm not doing that. |
| 1:41.7 | So anyway, my practitioner had me come into his office and he drew the blood for $400 |
| 1:48.1 | something, which I still think is a lot. |
| 1:50.2 | But I kind of take issue with this because when you're dealing with a healthy person |
| 1:55.3 | who has no diagnoses, no health complaints, and they try to charge you $2,600 for routine lab tests, |
| 2:05.4 | which is more than the average person makes in a month. I think we've gone overboard. So I already |
| 2:14.1 | had lots of issues with strange aberrations in lab tests throughout my life. |
| 2:20.9 | So I decided to pull those together and potentially write a book about it. |
