More medical care ≠ better health. What you can do instead:
Across America, health care has become the nation’s biggest employer—outpacing tech, manufacturing, and education. Yet outcomes continue to decline. Chronic disease rises. Burnout spreads. And satisfaction drops.
This episode reframes what “growth” in medicine really means: not more prevention, but more late-stage treatment. We are expanding disease management, not health creation. The missing evolution isn’t technological—it’s personal. Because the most underutilized diagnostic system isn’t in a lab. It’s you.
When individuals learn to observe their own biology—tracking early shifts, running proactive screens, and bringing data-informed insight to clinical partnerships—health stops being reactive. It becomes adaptive. That shift, scaled across millions, could relieve the entire system while extending functional longevity.
Key Points
The majority of new U.S. jobs are now in health care, but preventive capacity remains flat.
Expansion favors treatment infrastructure, not health creation.
Chronic disease and provider burnout are both rising despite higher investment.
Self-observation and biomarker tracking create a first line of prevention no system can replicate.
Progress depends on individuals partnering with medicine early—before symptoms demand care.
Listen for:Why “more health care” does not equal “better health,” and how shifting from reaction to prevention could redefine longevity for the next generation.
