Beyond the Basics: The Lab Tests You Actually Need for Preventative Health NEWS FLASH: Your annual physical isn’t enough when it comes to preventing disease or getting to the root cause of health issues.

If you’ve been dealing with bloating, IBS, reflux, or gut issues that won’t go away, you might be wondering: “Should I get a colonoscopy? Or an endoscopy? Or something else?” Maybe your doctor has already run tests, and everything came back “normal.” But deep down, you know something is off—your digestion feels unpredictable, food isn’t […]
