Addressing root causes of disease and getting people OFF medication W/ Victoria Andarcia MD
Manage episode 348892780 series 2983642
Victoria is an Internal Medicine Physician, she claims that medicine is how we eat, think, feel, our relationships and more, that there’s no one pill solution.
During her first 6 months of residency she quickly realized that traditional medicine was not addressing the root of the problem. She became intrigued in addressing the root of the problem to prevent patients from frequently returning to the hospital and to ultimately help people improve their quality of life.
We converse on the evolutionary maladaptation of our biology to our current environment in relation to the abundance of calories, sugar, fat and salt. The conflict of interests emerging from an asymmetry of information and a corrupt healthcare system between healthcare providers and receivers. How focusing on ''the basics'' such as improving your diet, the way you think and your relationships can make a major impact in your health that no pill could. How the problems we moderns face are a lot of times intercepted by profit seeking corporations that can do so because of a badly designed system of interests, which leads U.S. citizens to spend more than double on healthcare than the average european.
