We're spending $100K on preventable hospital visits while doctors get 12 minutes with patients, never read charts, and wonder why people don't "just take their meds." Type 2 diabetes patients sit at 10% control rates while the system shrugs. Dr. John Oberg took 50 patients with dangerously high A1Cs and got 49 into control in 12 weeks. Then he did it again with 79 patients, dropping them into healthy ranges and taking 30% off insulin entirely. His secret? Reading the chart. Treating humans like humans.

So he built Guardian [AI]ngels (guardianaingels.ai), an AI tool that lets you have conversations with digital representations of people you've lost. Not Ouija board nonsense. Actual therapeutic conversations that help you process grief, find resolution, and maybe (finally) cry. In this episode, we cover: → Why traditional grief therapy failed for John (and...

Could AI robots be better at diagnosing you than your actual doctor?

Healthcare AI sounds promising until you realize it can't tell the difference between your seasonal allergies and that weird parasite crawling up places it shouldn't be. We sit down with an actual MD, Dr. Ajit Barron-Dhillon, to discuss the terrifying reality of AI in healthcare, why digital diagnosis might make us dumber, and how insurance companies could weaponize medical AI to deny you even more coverage.

Three main benefits from this episode:

  1. Learn the real limitations of AI in medical diagnosis and when you should still see an actual human
  2. Discover how AI could be useful as a bridge between therapy appointments for mental health support
