In this podcast episode I had an insightful conversation with Dr. Dale, aka The Wild Doc, about our healthcare experiences. Dr. Dale emphasizes his role in helping patients understand their bodies rather than claiming to "heal" them. We delve into the significance of addressing thoughts, traumas, and toxins in health. I share my positive experience with Dr. Dale's holistic approach.We discuss the concept of functional medicine, with an emphasis on addressing root causes rather than just symptoms. During the episode, we also explore the importance of liver function, the role of essential nutrients, and the idea of aligning our diet with human biology. The conversation takes a deep dive into the potential risks associated with the use of exogenous testosterone, underscoring the necessity for a holistic approach to health. We conclude our discussion by addressing the concerns surrounding healthcare costs and the profit-driven healthcare model. We touch on topics like raw milk, synthetic meats, and the significance of being well-informed about healthcare choices. Throughout this episode, we encourage our audience to ask questions and think critically about their health and nutrition.
