We’re navigating a paradox in health and wellness. Developed nations are sicker than ever, yet healthcare systems have reached remarkable levels of advancement. At the same time, access to care, health insurance, and patient agency seem to be at an all-time low. How can we take control of our health without succumbing to cynicism? And what steps can we take to create a healthier future for ourselves and the next generation? This week, we’re joined by a doctor and healthcare administrator who dives deep into the complexities of modern healthcare. Together, we’ll uncover why the system is broken, explore the differences between Medicare and Medicaid, examine successful healthcare models, and discuss actionable solutions for the future. Listen and learn: <ul> <li>Why the healthcare system is failing</li> <li>The truth about Medicare vs. Medicaid</li> <li>Examples of healthcare systems that work</li> <li>Real solutions for meaningful change</li> </ul> Link <a href= "https://abrahamnussbaum.com/">AbrahamNussbaum.com</a> ABOUT OUT GUEST Dr. Abraham M. Nussbaum is a psychiatrist and author dedicated to reimagining healthcare through a more humane and patient-centered approach.

664: Your Healthiest Brain with Dr. Sui H. Wong

When you hear the word “metabolism,” you might think of calories or basal metabolic rate—the energy your body needs to survive. But metabolism is much more than that. It’s a complex network of processes influenced by your diet, lifestyle, sleep, exercise, and stress, impacting nearly every part of your physical and mental health. This week, we hear from an academic researcher whose groundbreaking work in metabolomics sheds light on the deeper science of metabolism and its far-reaching implications for health and wellness. Listen and learn: <ul> <li>Why metabolism is about more than just calories</li> <li>The hidden complexities of your digestive system and its impact on health</li> <li>How artificial intelligence is transforming scientific research into metabolism</li> <li>The exciting future of vaccines and their role in metabolic health</li> <li>Why fears surrounding GMO foods are often based on myths, not facts</li> <li>How metabolomics is paving the way for innovative health interventions</li> </ul> <a href= "https://biology.ucdavis.edu/people/oliver-fiehn">Link</a> ABOUT OUR GUEST Oliver Fiehn is a professor of molecular and cellular biology at the University of California, Davis, and director of the Fiehn Lab and the West Coast Metabolomics Center.
