In the last few years, lab testing has exploded as an industry - expanding beyond a few universities offering tests in their laboratory. Unfortunately not all tests are equal, and having seen more bad tests, Dan & Owain talk through what you should be looking for from a lab test.
Send us in your tests and we might do an episode talking through some of the bad ones soon!
