The Crisis of Health in America
The state of health in America is severely compromised, with a significant prevalence of metabolic dysfunction among the population. Many issues, including conditions like PCOS, are swept under the rug, with the medical community downplaying their impact. Misconceptions about the incidence of these disorders, particularly the overestimation of their rarity, mislead the public and health professionals alike.
