Summary
In this episode of the Barbell Medicine podcast, Dr. Jordan Feigenbaum and Dr. Austin Baraki delve into the rapidly expanding world of direct-to-consumer lab testing. They discuss the significant growth of this market, the potential benefits and risks associated with self-ordered lab tests, and their personal experiences with such testing.
