Why our HEALTHCARE system wants you to be UNHEALTHY and what we can do about it

August 13, 2025

In this episode, I sit down with Bharon Hoag to unpack some of the biggest challenges (and opportunities) in our healthcare system today. We talk about the financial forces that shape medical decisions, how patient expectations often influence the care they get, and why more conservative approaches can sometimes lead to better results.

You’ll hear real-world stories of patients who avoided unnecessary procedures, what it really means to take control of your own health, and how practitioners working together could change the future of care.

If you’ve ever felt frustrated, confused, or unsure about the medical advice you’ve been given, this conversation will help you see the system in a new light, and give you tools to make better choices for yourself and your family.

What you’ll learn:

-- How financial incentives influence medical decisions

-- The role of patient expectations in shaping treatment

-- Why conservative care can lead to better long-term outcomes

-- Real examples of conservative treatments that worked

-- How practitioner collaboration can transform healthcare’s future
