Andy Schoonover was frustrated that, despite paying $1,200 a month for coverage, his insurance refused to pay for his daughter's $8,000 ear infection procedure. Foregoing his insurance led him to develop a solution that could help those who are uninsured. He founded CrowdHealth. He shares that the idea behind CrowdHealth is medical health crowdfunding, which is a return to the notion of neighbors helping each other when someone is ill. Their goal is to build an alternative to the current healthcare system.  The community has the freedom to choose their healthcare providers without worrying about how much their medical procedures would cost. Members who dealt with similar circumstances even choose to contribute more. This makes Andy very optimistic that their service gives more hope for everybody to finally receive the real care that they deserve.Quick Guide01:10 Introduction05:40 How insurance works09:03 How does CrowdHealth work17:00 Taking care of the uninsured19:44 The original goal of insurance and what it has become29:01 Negotiating for a better healthcare33:12 A twisted symbiotic relationship42:02 Get uninsured and join CrowdHealth46:42 How healthcare workers can get involved52:05 An alternative healthcare system developingGet to know our guestAndy Schoonover saw the benefits of being uninsured and he developed CrowdHealth, a solution that can help uninsured individuals receive affordable healthcare.“So, you have the buyers of healthcare, which are health insurance plans, who want the price to go up. You have the sellers of healthcare, who are the big hospital systems, and it's more and more so. They both want the price to go up. So, this doesn't take a Ph.D. in economics, if the buyer and the seller want the price to go up, guess what the price is going up, right? Hospitals want the price to go up. Insurance Plans want the price to go up, the price is going up. And that's just how our system works.

Addiction is a primary chronic illness that can manifest in various forms, including food addiction.This is what Bitten Jonsson wants to emphasize. She was a nurse who struggled with smoking and alcoholism at the onset of her career. She was forced to enter rehab and during that time, she learned addiction medicine, which helped her overcome her drinking and smoking habits. Yet she continued to struggle with compulsive eating of ice cream and chocolate. That was when a doctor diagnosed her as a "food addict.”This conversation brings to light the importance of understanding addiction as a primary illness and the work our brain does to heal from addiction. Bitten recounts her own battle with addiction and road to recovery. She also emphasizes how social media, screens, and processed meals all contribute to the development of addictive behaviors.Quick Guide:01:01 Introduction10:49 Different addictions we may not be aware of19:03 Addiction is an illness24:06 We get addicted to processed foods29:34 Substance overload36:32 Energy drinks, processed foods, screens, and social media lead to a foggy brain42:05 Process addiction and marrying addiction and metabolic health48:57 Components of processed food49:28 The shape-shifting beast called addiction1:05:53 Hydrochloric acid’s function in the body1:06:39 Closing and contactsGet to Know Our Guest:Bitten Jonsson now continues her work on addiction medicine by training professionals which she calls holistic addiction medicine."But it's important to understand that addiction is a primary chronic, progressive, and deadly if not arrested illness, but you die of the consequences.

A yoga instructor and professional equestrian turned personal trainer, Kem Minnick noticed a decline in her physical and health after years of veganism. Her personal quest for health revealed the importance of tryptophan, which is necessary for the production of serotonin in the brain. She realized that insufficient serotonin was a  root cause of her chronic physical ill-health and lack of mental clarity. Further personal experimentation proved to her that her vegan/vegetarian practice was the cause of her low serotonin. Something had to change.The Original Carnivore Swedish Bikini Chef, ex-Playboy model Kem Minnick talks her journey from being a cannabis user and vegan/vegetarian, tryptophan deficiency, why a carnivore diet helps produce serotonin, and how she was introduced to the carnivore diet by the  man who was not only the brains behind the Grateful Dead's massive wall-of-sound speaker system, but also the country's largest LSD distributor, Stanley Owsley.Quick Guide1:03 Introduction03:24 What is tryptophan and how it functions in the body12:38 The relationship between carbohydrates and serotonin16:49 What her research with Wurtmans of MIT led her to discover20:57 Stanley Owsley 25:57 Her switch from vegan to carnivore40:44 Lessons from her research to write a book on serotonin49:29 The wisdom of Temple GrandinGet to know our guestThe Swedish bikini chef, Kem Minnick became a Playboy model at age 41.

One may assume that a socialized healthcare system, in which the government pays for the majority of medical expenses, would be more concerned to prevent illnesses in the first place.  Nevertheless, Dr. Max Gulhane, a general practice registrar, describes the Australian healthcare system as one that operates more like the profit-driven healthcare system of the US. The change in the population's diet and nutrition - one that promotes eating more grains, more bread, and more carbohydrate consumption - has led to an increase in the prevalence of metabolic illnesses. Yet despite the overwhelming support from credible studies that a low-carb diet helps with disease reversals, it still isn't widely accepted.Listen to Dr. Max Gulhane as he talks about animal-based diets as a key to reversing chronic diseases, why doctors are trapped in a system that heavily favors disease management more than disease reversal, and how pharmaceutical industries are weaponizing science.Quick Guide:0:50 Introduction07:17 The comparison of the Australian diet and the American diet11:48 Availability of lambs14:33 Nutritional reason to eat lambs or beef16:15 The state of obesity and diabetes in Australia21:34 What’s the community’s response toward the low-carb diet26:35 A look at the US and Australia’s healthcare system40:14 Glaxo has known Zantac is linked to causing cancer 45:50 Science being weaponized by pharmaceutical industries48:25 Closing and contactsGet to know our guest:Dr. Max Gulhane is an Australian physician who practices family medicine.

He also hosts a podcast called Regenerative Health.“Perhaps as long as you have someone in between your relationship with the patient and the doctor, in our case, Medicare, which is a government-funded health care system, who pays us as GPs to administer care to our patients, until there is, I guess, more of a direct relationship with us in the patient, you're gonna get, I guess, outcomes or treatment outcomes that aren't necessarily directed at the patient's disease and reversing the patient's disease.

Almost 30 years after earning her bachelor’s degree in Nutrition and Dietetics as well as her master’s degree in Medical Science, Nutritionist Jen Cleveland continues to unlearn a lot of things she was taught about nutrition. She has spent 30 years in the same big academic children’s healthcare institution. In that time, she has observed what she describes as an alarming increase in the number of children presenting with type-2 diabetes. She has worked with kids with high triglyceride levels, high LDL cholesterol, and a big population of kids with non-alcoholic fatty liver. Given her years of experience working as a dietitian with children, she opens up in this episode about her opinions on the status of nutrition, various patient experiences, and how food plays a significant role in disease prevention, particularly for the younger population.Quick Guide:01:07 Introduction03:52 Prediabetes and type-2 diabetes cases of children10:14 The story of why she went into dietetics 13:35 The a-ha moment that changed everything 16:12 Low-carb diet isn’t working 19:34 How to check that your kid isn’t on the road to diabetes27:54 The right amount of carbohydrates for the young 31:09 What is the diabetes solution? 36:19 The perspective of other dieticians 41:13 Success stories and how her work has changed53:09 Contacts and closingGet to know our guest:Jen Cleveland received her diploma in 1992, the year the famed food pyramid was implemented.

Dr. Ovadia was quoted in a Huffington Post article. The headlines were mostly accurate, but the body of the article was a comical mish-mash of misinformation, mal-information, and outright ignorance.In this recording from a live Twitter Spaces, Dr. O sets the record straight. He also takes questions from the audience.A few excerpts on The 5 Harmful Myths About Food's Effect on Heart Health:Myth 1. A low-fat diet is best for heart health.While trans fat and hydrogenated fats found in processed foods should be avoided, saturated fat, which has been historically linked to heart disease, is not the real culprit. It's the polyunsaturated fat that’s more harmful to your health.Myth 2. Eggs are bad for your heart.Despite eggs' high cholesterol content, our blood cholesterol levels are not much impacted by the cholesterol in our diet.Myth 3. Red meat should be avoided at all costs.There is no strong evidence of red meat affecting heart health.Myth 4. If you're on medication for your heart health, it means you can eat whatever you want.Statins have little effect on weight, but a nutrient-poor diet increases the risk of heart disease. Improving your diet won't need you to take any more medications.Myth 5. Changing your diet isn't enough to reverse the damage already done to your heart.It’s never too late to start looking after your heart. A change in your diet and lifestyle can still improve your situation.Quick Guide01:33 Introduction03:21 Myth 1. A low-fat diet is best for heart health08:34 Myth 2.

And in a lot of these cases, the medications aren't doing what we're told they're supposed to do and that's not because of what people are doing with the medication. That's really because these medications are ineffective.

What started as a venture for better cash flow became a passion project for Hal Cranmer. From flipping houses and running rental properties, he switched to the assisted living industry.He has visited several homes, and he knew he didn’t want residents just laying down or watching TV as if waiting for their end to come. He wanted the residents to enjoy and live a quality life. To learn more, he researched exercises and low-carb diets. He hired doctors and personal trainers who share his goal.

Dr. Tro Kalayjian - a formerly 350-pound doctor - had to unlearn much of what he'd been taught in medical school to get his health back.Dr. Laura Buchanan - a former athlete - had the same sort of experience. She learned early on that she wanted to integrate metabolic health into her medical practice. Despite having different backgrounds in both personal health and medicine, Dr. Tro  and Dr. Laura now collaborate to give their patients the best care possible. To address the underlying reason for a patient's health issues, the healthcare team considers the patient’s strengths, weaknesses, failures, and even appetites. They call this "patient bonding." It's a way to establish trust and rapport with the patient. In this episode, these two doctors share their perspectives on what drives the messaging for nutrition, their passion for establishing rapport and connection with patients, and the future of health tech.Listen until the end to know their fantastic announcement to help your health improve.Quick Guide01:23 Introduction12:08 Nutrition messaging and results dictated by funding, religion, dogma22:12 Deep diving into research24:32 Lessons from the CGM about nutrition27:14 What sugar does to blood vessels31:40 The importance and ways to make patient bonding happen44:01 Scaling the health tech, culture, empathy, and critical thinking48:20 Insights on intermittent fasting and metabolism52:27 Questions you want somebody to ask you54:00 Closing statements and contactsGet to know our guestDr. Tro Kalayjian, MD and Dr. Laura Buchanan work together to make a difference in patient care.

And, yeah, there's all this fancy stuff. But I think, I almost don't, like the fancy stuff is helpful because eating is something we want to be subconscious about and we have to rip it out of the subconscious.

Immediately putting a patient on medication has been normalized. Dr. Efrat Lamandre (Dr. E) maintains that it should not be. In this episode, she shares her story of how she started her functional medicine practice, how she has taken more time to listen to her patients than before, and why she'd check nutrition and sleep first before any exercise recommendation.Healthcare professionals frequently overlook the initial course of treatment recommended by pharmacological guidelines — dietary lifestyle changes — because the system doesn't leave enough time for it. She used to consider a patient "fine" if test results didn't point to any specific diagnosis. Now she knows better: symptoms meant something is wrong. So, her goal is to provide interventions before the symptoms develop into disease.Dr. E believes there is a place for both conventional and functional medicine. That's why she practices both. She calls this the KNEW method, a reassurance for the patients that the symptoms they experience are not just in their heads.

Diet is the most neglected part of oral health. It is also the cause of why we have crooked teeth and many other oral problems. Kevin Stock, the first dentist to guest on the show, shares relevant information about the co-relation of food and diet to our teeth, with historical evidence, and how it also affects our metabolic health.
