In this episode, Dr. Tim and NP Mia Scott get real about what it actually means to have a provider who supports your health — not just manages your symptoms. From rushed appointments and outdated guidelines to open-minded, collaborative care, they break down the subtle red flags that signal your doctor may not be the right fit.

They also share practical advice on how to:

• Ask hard questions without feeling dismissed

• Recognize ego-driven medicine versus true patient partnership

• Find functional and holistic providers who align with your goals

• Navigate the flood of online "science" without getting misled

This conversation challenges the status quo and gives you tools to take back control of your health journey — because you deserve care that helps you get better, not just get by.
