Deep dives
Blind Spots in Modern Medicine
A small group of authorities in medicine holds significant decision-making power, leading to a concentration of recommendations that often prioritize medications over holistic and lifestyle approaches. This has resulted in the current reality where we are the most medicated generation in history. The medical establishment frequently overlooks important aspects such as nutrition, with calls for a shift to treating conditions like diabetes through education, such as cooking classes, rather than simply prescribing medication. Discussions surrounding the potential tie between food, body inflammation, and various illnesses emphasize the need for a shift in focus within healthcare.
