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.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
