Sick and Tired of the Sick Care System?

In this episode, Dr. Lauren Fitzgerald, M.D., sits down with DeeDee Mehren to dive into the challenges of Western medicine and the shift toward functional medicine. They discuss the importance of nourishing your body through proper nutrition and self-care, highlighting the limitations of the conventional healthcare system that often focuses on treating symptoms rather than addressing root causes. DeeDee shares her personal experiences with the frustration of trusting doctors for years without seeing real improvement, shedding light on the disconnect many patients feel when navigating the healthcare system.

Together, they examine the flaws of the U.S. "sick care" model, which tends to prioritize managing illness over fostering true wellness. Dr. Fitzgerald and DeeDee explore how functional medicine offers a more holistic approach to health, focusing on prevention, lifestyle changes, and personalized care. This conversation is a candid reflection on the need for a healthcare revolution—one that empowers individuals to take control of their health and well-being.

Thank you both! I am struggling to find healthy food because of what our food contains. There is too much BS in our society. When a medical professional says a healthy person is a lost customer, it was clear money is all the system is about. I lost trust in everyone. Depression is trying to invade my life. So thanks for this content. I don't have the money to buy another plan of lies.

Why the walking on the spot? It's incredibly irritating to try to watch. Might be healthy, but it's not conducive to a good interview.
