Dr. Marty Makary, a leading surgeon and professor at Johns Hopkins, joins us to share his eye-opening perspective on what’s broken in the healthcare system. Known for his work in public health and patient safety, Dr. Makary dives deep into the areas modern medicine often overlooks—like the microbiome and the dangers of over-medicalization. His new book, Blind Spots, challenges the status quo, pushing for a more holistic, patient-centered approach to healthcare that emphasizes nutrition, lifestyle, and preventive care. Here’s what we cover: - How the medical establishment continues to perpetuate outdated practices, missing out on the importance of the microbiome and nutrition.- The alarming impact of antibiotic overuse on children's health, contributing to issues like obesity, ADHD, asthma, and even celiac disease.- Why we need a holistic approach to healthcare that prioritizes prevention, lifestyle, and nutrition over the overuse of pharmaceuticals and medical interventions.- Breaking down historical misconceptions in medicine—everything from cholesterol myths to hormone replacement therapy and the opioid crisis.- Advocacy for patient-centered care, with a focus on empowering individuals to take control of their health through lifestyle changes and self-awareness.
