ECS EP45 - DR. Lee Howard
On Episode 45 of The Ed Clay Show we're joined in the studio by Dr. Lee Howard, a board certified general surgeon who walked away from traditional medicine in an effort to fight back against what healthcare has become and create change in the medical industry. He explains how the system is fundamentally structured around treating sickness rather than promoting long-term health, coining the term "sick care" to describe its current state. Drawing from his personal experiences as a physician, Dr. Howard dives into the flaws of traditional medical training, including the lack of emphasis on diet and lifestyle, which he sees as critical tools for disease prevention and overall wellness.
Dr. Howard and Ed also explore broader systemic issues, such as declining standards in medical education, the role of pharmaceutical and insurance companies in perpetuating inefficiencies, and the lack of access to effective but non-patentable therapies. They discuss how epigenetics and environmental factors outweigh genetics in determining health outcomes and emphasize the need for society to shift its mindset toward personal responsibility in healthcare. With a mix of practical advice, hard-hitting truths, and thought-provoking insights, this podcast challenges us rethink our approach to health and question the very structure of the healthcare system itself.
