Welcome to another episode of Intentional Medicine with Dr. Singh, where we explore the real meaning of health design in a system built to manage disease. Today, we're diving into a topic that often goes unquestioned in modern healthcare, more testing. From annual lab panels and advanced diagnostics to wearable trackers and direct-to-consumer tests, health data is everywhere. But does more data always translate to better health? Join us as Dr. Priti Singh unpacks the surprising downsides of overtesting, explains why testing should serve a purpose rather than satisfy anxiety, and reveals how intentional diagnostic strategies can transform healthcare from noise to true insight. If you've ever wondered if all that testing is actually helping or possibly harming your health journey, you won’t want to miss this conversation.
