Do you ever feel like the more meds you take, the worse you feel? The problem might lie in how our healthcare system operates. In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Marty Makary to tackle the alarming rise of colon cancer among young people, explore how our microbiome plays a crucial role in preventing chronic diseases, and discuss the unsettling influence of the pharmaceutical industry on medical practices. From the impact of antibiotics on children to the hidden dangers of over-medication, we unpack the urgent need for more transparency and a shift towards addressing the root causes of illness.

In this episode, we discuss:

• The alarming increase in colon cancer among young people
• The microbiome's impact on overall health, from regulating the immune system to influencing mood and metabolism
• The deep influence of pharmaceutical companies on medical research, education, and policy, often at the expense of patient care
• The long-term health consequences of early antibiotic use in children
• The overmedication of Americans, particularly children, and the need for a shift towards addressing root causes of diseases
