š¬ āHaving normal labs doesn't necessarily mean you're healthy. It just means at that point in time, whatever we were looking for, we maybe didn't find." ā” In this episode, I explain why those "normal" lab results might be giving you a false sense of security, and how leaning on them alone could let serious issues slip by.

š¬ āThey've made it seem like the ACA is something that benefits the insurance companies; that insurance companies are making money. No, no, noāit's benefiting the patients. It's here, and it's always been here to benefit the patients and protect them from the scrupulous practices of these insurance companies that have been around for decades and whose main goal is āHow do we make the most money, and how do we pay out less? ā ā” In this episode, I break down why the Affordable Care Act isn't just some policy debateāit's a lifesaver that stopped insurance bullies from denying care...

š¬ āLooking healthy is not the same as being healthy. Fitness does not cancel out your health.ā ā” In this episode, I dive into why so many folks who look "healthy" and fit are breaking down in their 40s. We talk about the biases we have around fitness versus real health, how high performers push through warning signs, and why ignoring family history, sleep, and stress can lead to heart attacks, strokes, and more. Donāt run away nowāyounger people are getting sicker, and we can't keep attributing these issues to just old age. š§ Stay tuned to find out: ā” What you can do to...

š¬ "You have to be very vocal and active in your healthcare plan, because so many of you guys recognize that one bad medical bill could be extremely detrimental to your family, and one expense that doubles or triples from December to January could be life-threateningāand that's not hyperbole.ā ā” In this episode, I rewind the clock to show you what life was like before the Affordable Care Act, where 48 million people were uninsured, insurance companies denied folks left and right for pre-existing conditions, and medical debt was the top reason for bankruptcyāright as we're facing the...
