Inherent to the U.S. healthcare system, and its most powerful industries, is the profit motive. In this episode, I speak with Garrett Riley, a former sales rep at a pharmaceutical company, about his experience in pharma sales, early on in his career. Where are the common ethical grey areas? Where are they prone to flat-out illegal fraud and misrepresentation of risks and benefits? How can pharmaceutical companies influence regulatory agencies and doctors...and ultimately, patients?

In this episode, I interview Alisa Nazar - Registered Nurse of 14 years who left her hospital ER job during the pandemic. Alisa is now a holistic nurse and works at an IV infusion clinic, and she also helps people shop at cleaner, less toxic products for their everyday lives.

Alissa shares her experience working as a clinician in a hospital ER setting, and why she ultimately left that industry and model of “healthcare.” She also discusses her journey healing from crippling anxiety and depression, through finding faith in God and discovering holistic healing methods.

I interview Dr. Christian Canete about his experience moving away from the allopathic model of healthcare, and into his field of chiropractic care. We discuss the concept and practice of supporting the body's natural functions, the emphasis of nutrition and lifestyle...and we even don our tin foil hats briefly to discuss big pharma, as well as the industry and profit motives inherent to the United States "healthcare" model.

As one of the most developed nations in the world, the United States boasts some of the poorest health outcomes. We take the most prescription medications and get more surgeries than any other country. We have the highest obesity rates, high infant and maternal mortality rates, and 1 in every 2 American children is diagnosed with a chronic condition.

Why is that? Journey with me into exploring how U.S. healthcare migrated to a sick care model.
