Andy Schoonover is the founder and CEO of CrowdHealth, a company that aims to revolutionize the healthcare payment system through crowdfunding. Schoonover's journey into healthcare innovation was sparked by a personal experience when his daughter needed a simple medical procedure, resulting in an $8,000 bill that their insurance refused to cover. This frustration with the traditional health insurance system led him to create a more transparent and supportive alternative. CrowdHealth operates in all 50 states and offers members a way to manage healthcare costs through a monthly subscription model and crowdfunding for medical expenses. The platform emphasizes transparency, affordability, and personalized support, providing services such as bill negotiation, discounted prescriptions, and access to virtual care. In this episode Andy Schoonover and I talk about the foundation and mission of CrowdHealth, aiming to revolutionize the traditional insurance industry. Schoonover narrates his motivations stemming from personal dissatisfaction with conventional healthcare systems, leading to the creation of an alternative that promotes healthier lifestyles and aligns financial incentives with wise health choices. The discussion broadens to the concept of rationalizing detrimental behaviors by large entities for financial gain, and how such practices negatively impact society's well-being.   Get CrowdHealth for only $99 for the first 3 months with code SAPIEN  JoinCrowdHealth.com   Show notes: 00:12 Introducing Crowd Health: A New Approach to Healthcare 03:58 Building a Parallel Health System: The Crowd Health Mission 01:50 Andy's Journey: From Healthcare Professional to Revolutionizing the Industry 11:59 Navigating the Healthcare System: Personal Stories and Solutions 32:55 Understanding the Root Cause: Lifestyle Changes for Better Health 38:11 Redefining Diet: From Carnivore to Sapien 42:31 Understanding Metabolic Health  43:48 The Slow Danger of Processed Foods 01:00:54 The Spiritual Aspects of Health    REGENERATIVE PRODUCTS: NosetoTail.org Preorder the film here: http://indiegogo.com/projects/food-lies-post    Film site: http://FoodLies.org YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/FoodLies    Follow along: http://twitter.com/FoodLiesOrg http://instagram.com/food.lies http://facebook.com/FoodLiesOrg
