Episode notes
Transition to Preventative Medicine
- Dr. Baker transitioned from orthopedic surgery to preventative medicine after realizing surgery often didn't address root health issues.
- He found that dietary changes could eliminate the need for some surgeries, a concept not supported by the healthcare system.
Disease Management vs. Cures
- Modern medicine often focuses on disease management, not cures, creating a system of repeat customers.
- This approach disempowers patients, making them reliant on medication and assistive devices instead of promoting independence.
Misaligned Incentives
- The healthcare system's financial incentives prioritize treating illness over preventing it.
- This misalignment hurts patients and benefits the healthcare industry, hindering true healing.
