The Cost and Science of Disease with Dr Johan Van Den Bogaerde

Science studies continue to unravel the mysteries of our health and disease causing agents - or do they? In the pursuit of knowledge, are the narratives of those 'interpreting' scientific data influencing our health care decisions? In this episode Dr Johan Van Den Bogaerde and Andrew embark on a robust and thought-provoking discussion challenging conventional perspectives on illness vs. disease, targets vs. markers and why we need to change the way we look at health care, end of life care and aging. They also dive into the complexity of the microbiome and why the blood-brain-barrier should be called a highway, not a barrier.
