Episode Description:

Dr. Mary Pardee is a naturopathic and functional medicine doctor and the founder of Modrn Med. She's also one of the few people in this space willing to call out the tests and trends her own field sells. This conversation covers the expensive stool tests she says give people false hope, why the "parasites" in the toilet usually aren't parasites, what testosterone actually does and doesn't do for women, why sauna is overhyped, and the food sensitivity test that may be creating more anxiety than answers.

Dr. Mary's health takes, in order:

Take 1: "They're giving people false hope"

Run a $600 microbiome test on 100 healthy people and most come back "positive."

Take 2: "Women are going on testosterone hoping to build muscle"

In normal female ranges, it won't. The real evidence is libido.

Take 3: "If you're skipping workouts to sauna, you're missing the mark"
