Listen Later

What if the key to fixing our broken healthcare system lies within Congress? On this episode of “The Doctor’s Farmacy,” I sit down with U.S. Representative Vern Buchanan to tackle one of the biggest crises facing our country: the rise of chronic disease and its staggering economic impact. We dive deep into why prevention, not just treatment, needs to be at the forefront of healthcare, and discuss the groundbreaking work being done in Congress to shift our focus toward nutrition, lifestyle changes, and medically tailored meals. 

In this episode, we discuss:

  • The staggering economic burden of chronic diseases on the U.S. economy
  • The importance of nutrition education for doctors and healthcare providers as a key factor in preventing chronic diseases
  • Congressman Vern Buchanan’s bipartisan efforts to address the chronic disease epidemic through policy changes and initiatives like the Congressional Preventive Health and Wellness Caucus
  • The impact of chronic disease on military readiness and national security
  • The critical need for a shift in healthcare focus from treatment to prevention, emphasizing lifestyle changes and nutrition
