DR. Aimee Duffy: How Conventional Lab Standards are Made

Have you ever wondered how conventional lab standards are determined?

This clip is part two of last week's. In it, Dr. Aimee Duffy (@aimeeduffymd) dives into how conventional lab standards are determined, and it's not based on science, but rather on an average of the population who have had lab work done or provided data. As Americans' health continues to decline, how does this make sense?

Cholesterol is an interesting topic when it comes to lab standards. We now know that cholesterol is needed to maintain healthy brain function, hormone production, and other essential health benefits. But as time goes on and this within-range value keeps dropping, patients are forced to utilize pharmaceutical interventions to stay within range. Furthermore, the lab range for cholesterol isn't coming from an average of the population, but from the manufacturers of these cholesterol-lowering drugs, Big Pharma.

The system isn't set up to heal.
