The Real Reason You Still Feel Tired—Even When Your Bloodwork Looks Perfect | Dr Pompa : 1273

Your bloodwork looks normal. Your doctor says you’re fine. But you still feel exhausted, inflamed, anxious—or worse. 

In this episode, Dave Asprey talks with Dr. Daniel Pompa, a leading voice in cellular detox and root-cause healing, to expose the hidden stressors hijacking your energy, hormones, and metabolism—even when your labs say you’re healthy. 

Dr. Pompa shares his personal health collapse and reveals how cellular dysfunction, neurotoxicity, and hormone resistance drive the chronic fatigue epidemic. If you’ve ever felt dismissed by “perfect” bloodwork, this conversation will rewire how you think about sickness—and show you how to reclaim real, lasting wellness. 

What You’ll Learn in This Episode: 

• Why your bloodwork can be “perfect” while your cells are on fire 

• The overlooked hormone resistances sabotaging your energy and metabolism 

• The 3-legged stool of chronic illness—and what actually drives disease 

• What “upstream detox” really means, and why most cleanses make you worse 

• Why toxins trigger genetic expression (and how to shut that down) 

• How to fix unexplainable fatigue, anxiety, and weight gain from the inside out 

• Why true healing starts with fixing the cell, not the symptom 

It’s time to stop chasing symptoms—and start upgrading from the root.
