House Calls, #972, May 25, 2025: Tests For the Ages. How to save yourself $700.

Your Calls and Comments:

How the marketing of wellness blood tests of dubious screening potential falsely equates more testing with better health as opposed to evaluating the individual based on family and personal health histories, clinical evaluation, and use of the Prevention TaskForce app and website to help guide you through what is required and most helpful to prevent and detect common diseases and conditions.

Your calls and questions about:

• The use of potassium citrate to reduce the risk of calcium oxalate kidney stones
• An woman in her 80’s is experiencing swollen ankles and what this commonly represents
• A medical student asks if we should be screening for metabolic diseases earlier than what the latest evidence recommends.
