In this thought-provoking episode, Pharm. Gee explores a critical question in modern healthcare:

Are we too quick to reach for pills when lifestyle changes could be just as effective—or even better?

We talk about the tension between pharmaceutical fixes and lifestyle changes. From sleep and stress to diet and exercise—what should be our first line of defense? From managing chronic conditions like hypertension and diabetes to improving mental health, this episode dives into the science and stories behind lifestyle medicine.

You’ll learn how everyday choices—like what you eat, how you move, and how you sleep—can be powerful tools for prevention and healing.

Whether you’re a healthcare professional, a patient, or simply curious about your health, this episode will challenge your assumptions and inspire you to rethink your first line of defense.
