Welcome back to The Popkin Method, where real medicine meets real results. Have you ever left the doctor’s office feeling frustrated because your bloodwork was “normal,” but you still feel tired, foggy, or just not yourself? This episode is for you. Dr. Matthew C. Popkin reveals the four crucial labs that most physicians overlook: tests that could make all the difference between simply surviving and truly thriving. We’ll unpack why standard labs often miss the real issues, which advanced markers you should be asking for, and how understanding your unique bloodwork can unlock better energy, mental clarity, and long-term health. If you’re ready to go beyond the basics and get answers about your health that actually translate to results, you won’t want to miss this episode.
