Dr. Josh Axe: Why Your "Normal" Bloodwork Is Lying to You and What to Test For Instead | TUH #292

About this video

Brecka interviews Dr. Josh Axe about looking beyond ’normal’ bloodwork. Axe argues health rests on connection to people, nature and God, that stuck emotions can block healing, and that traditional Chinese medicine’s links between emotions and organs offer a useful lens alongside modern biomarkers and cellular health, the theme of his book discussed in the episode. They cover his biblical-diet approach, olive oil as his favoured fat, and supplements and lifestyle factors Axe discusses for markers such as Lp(a), including omega-3 quality and cortisol, plus feeling safe in the body, especially for women and fertility.

Key takeaways

• Axe claims negative emotions are present in most cases where healing stalls, in his experience
• Axe presents Chinese medicine emotion-organ links as complementary to biomarker testing
• Brecka and Axe argue ’normal’ labs can miss what deeper testing reveals, in their view
• Axe frames the body as a temple and character and skill growth as the path to full potential
