Communication between patients and healthcare providers is often inadequate, contributing to misunderstandings about health.
Over-testing can lead to unnecessary anxiety and misinterpretation of results.
Fitness influencers often promote lab testing without proper medical training, which can be harmful.
There is a need for ethical practices in lab testing and patient care.
Patients should be cautious of companies that upsell supplements based on lab results.
