Have you ever wondered why modern medicine often feels like it's failing us? Today’s episode of the MD and Chef Team Show tackles this pressing issue head-on. Chef Michael from Doctor on a Mission steps in solo to share invaluable insights from his and Dr. Isabel's extensive experience. By using the analogy of a polluted lake, Michael compellingly explains why simply treating symptoms without addressing underlying causes—like sleep, nutrition, exercise, hormones, and stress—ultimately proves ineffective. Discover why critical tests, such as vitamin D levels, are often overlooked and how taking a holistic approach can put you back in the driver's seat of your health journey.

Our healthcare system is not just failing us medically but financially and educationally as well. Michael sheds light on the staggering costs faced by governments and businesses due to a lack of preventative care, and how insurance companies fall short by not covering essential tests. Learn about the systemic issues plaguing traditional medicine, from insufficient training in preventative measures to the massive expenses incurred by doctors like Dr. Isabel who pursue functional medicine. Michael underscores the importance of balancing traditional and functional medicine and having a solid medical team to effectively address and manage your health issues.

Relationships also take center stage in this episode, with Michael drawing from his 44-year marriage to Dr. Isabel to offer heartfelt advice on sticking it out through the tough times. Using relatable analogies, he discusses how commitment and unconditional love can transform relationships once the initial excitement fades. Finally, Michael encourages us to embrace the present while planning for the future, finding joy in everyday moments. This episode is packed with practical advice and reflective wisdom, making it a must-listen for anyone looking to improve both their health and personal relationships.
