1: Drop In Visit with the Doctor: The Truth About Diets - What Really Works for Preventing and Reversing Disease

Walk, Don't Run to the Doctor with Miles Hassell, MD

Welcome to Walk Don't Run to the Doctor, where we challenge the status quo of our healthcare approach. In today's society, it's become almost second nature to rush to the doctor at the slightest hint of discomfort. But what if, instead of relying solely on medications and medical interventions, we paused to examine our lifestyles and made meaningful changes first?

In today’s episode Miles Hassell, MD helps listeners shift their perspective and recognize the profound impact our daily habits have on our health. Rather than treating symptoms reactively, let's proactively address the root causes of illness through lifestyle interventions.

In this episode Miles Hassell, MD explores:

• The prevalence of excess diagnoses and diseases in today's society and the role lifestyle factors play in contributing to these health issues.
• Examples of lifestyle interventions such as diet, exercise, stress management, and sleep hygiene.
• Practical guidance, resources, and support for making informed decisions about your health and taking control of your well-being.

Together, let's walk—not run—towards a healthier, happier future.
