Are you wasting money—or worse, harming your health—with the wrong supplements? In this episode of The Health Pulse, we expose how the $150 billion supplement industry often leaves people guessing, while personalized lab testing offers real answers.

You’ll learn why 40% of supplement users are taking things they don’t need, and how common symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, or hair thinning can stem from multiple overlapping deficiencies. We break down the most critical blood markers—like ferritin vs. hemoglobin, RBC mineral testing, and functional B12 status—and explain how nutrient interactions and genetic factors (like MTHFR mutations) can make generic supplement plans risky.

Most importantly, we highlight how at-home lab testing is now more accessible than ever, helping you identify what your body actually needs—and what it doesn’t. Save money, reduce risk, and build a truly personalized supplement strategy.
