💡 EPISODE SUMMARY

In this solo episode, we dive into one of the most heated conversations in healthcare today: Is medicine designed to heal—or designed to maintain lifelong customers? We unpack the powerful influence of Big Pharma, the rise of personalized and functional medicine, and what the future of healthcare could look like if patients demanded more than symptom management.

----------------------------------------


🛑 KEY TOPICS COVERED

Why chronic disease is rising despite medical advancements
The business model behind pharmaceuticals—patents, profit, and prescriptions
How marketing, insurance, and time constraints drive symptom-based care
What personalized/functional medicine offers instead: genetics, labs, lifestyle, root-cause healing
Real patient transformation through precision health
Can these two worlds merge? Or is a healthcare revolution ahead?


----------------------------------------


📌 KEY TAKEAWAYS

✅ Our healthcare system manages illness—it rarely solves it.

✅ Personalized medicine evaluates genetics, lifestyle, gut health, hormones, and environment.
✅ AI, wearables, and advanced labs are changing how we diagnose and prevent disease.
✅ The future of healthcare isn’t one side vs the other—it’s integration, transparency, and personalization.
