Health Without The System

The Food Pyramid Lie: How Big Tobacco Built Our Diets This episode is a mic-drop moment for anyone who's ever looked at the food pyramid and thought, "Wait... this doesn't seem right." What if your morning bowl of "heart-healthy" cereal was the product of the same industry that sold us cigarettes as medicine? In this jaw-dropping episode, Dr. Tim and Mia Scott dig deep into the shady origins of the U.S. food pyramid – and what they uncover will change the way you see your plate forever. From Big Tobacco's pivot to processed foods, to sugar-funded science and government-backed manipulation, they reveal how decades of dietary guidelines were built on addiction, lobbying, and profit—not health. If you're ready to question what you've been fed (literally), this is your wake-up call. No fluff. Just facts. And a few laughs along the way. ⭐️ We need your help!

Welcome to the very first episode of Health Without the System. Dr. Tim Scott and Nurse Practitioner Mia Scott pull back the curtain on their careers in emergency medicine, their disillusionment with the traditional healthcare model, and the path that led them to functional medicine and the launch of Rixa Health.

In this episode, they talk candidly about the broken nature of our current system, how it prioritizes speed and prescriptions over root cause and real healing. You'll hear why they believe so many diagnoses are missed, why "normal labs" often mean nothing, and why it's time to shift from sick care to real care.

Whether you're tired of feeling unheard by your provider, overwhelmed by contradictory health advice, or simply ready to understand your body on a deeper level, this is where your journey begins.
