Episode 42: What’s really going on when your labs say “normal,” but you still feel tired, foggy, and inflamed?

What’s really going on when your labs say “normal,” but you still feel tired, foggy, and inflamed?
In this episode, Dr. Joshua Sharp breaks down MVX Plus—a simple blood test that measures the terrain of your health at the cellular level. You’ll learn how chronic, smoldering inflammation drives most modern illness, why traditional panels (cholesterol, liver enzymes, CBC/CMP) often miss early dysfunction, and how MVX pinpoints where the fire is starting so you can take targeted action.
What you’ll learn
Why inflammation is the common thread behind fatigue, brain fog, weight resistance, autoimmunity, and cardiovascular risk
The difference between pathology labs (find disease late) and terrain testing (find dysfunction early)
A plain-English tour of MVX: IVX (inflammation), MMX (metabolic malnutrition), and the overall MVX score
How mitochondria (your cells’ engines) power every organ—and what happens when they sputter
The 6 MVX analytes in simple analogies:
GlycA = the smoke alarm for chronic inflammation
Small HDL particles = the garbage trucks for detox
Citrate = the energy circuit inside the mitochondria
Valine, Leucine, Isoleucine (BCAAs) = the building blocks that reveal protein status, digestion, and insulin resistance
The surprising importance of Vitamin B1 (thiamine) and how MVX can hint when you need it
