I have ZERO faith in medical dr's! I'm 72 yrs young & I've been told I look a lot younger. Maybe it's because I refuse to take prescription drugs & instead choose to take the holistic/all natural supplementation route; I'm healthier than most of my friends/family. I've even had people tell me that holistic medicine is "hocus pocus"! Sorry, i disagree!

I had a mental breakdown due to severe work stress eight years ago. I wasn’t sleeping and my doctor prescribed an antidepressant and it made it worse. Way worse! After not sleeping for three weeks I started hallucinating. Then they diagnosed me with bipolar at 56 years old and said I would have to take bipolar medication for the rest of my life. After quitting the stressful job, and then getting a better job a year later, I got much better. I weaned myself off the meds, and am back to normal. I didn’t have bipolar, just severe stress. This and subsequent experiences have opened my eyes to the corrupt, inept medical system.

[@judyvaughn761]

I lost two of my younger sisters to all the drugs that the medical system gives out they said they had bipolar I think they were just very depressed and stressed but I don't think they really care

[@TiredEmpath]

I’m so sorry about your breakdown. I don’t want to get into details, but I had a similar situation from working 60-70 hour weeks. Dx with major depression and tried tons of meds. It’s not depression. I was/am normal! I watched a documentary a couple weeks ago called “Medicating Normal.” I swear I got all ticked off again, lol!

[@No._1_Karen]

I remember the big bipolar disorder diagnosing craze of the late 1990’s and 2000’s. It came into fashion after the ADHD diagnosing craze started getting tired. Of course, today we are experiencing new, fashionable diagnosing fads for disorders that everyone seems to have. But, yeah…. I was in my early twenties and had met with this psychiatrist for the first time in my life, for around 5 - 10 minutes. He asked me and my mom a couple questions, and I left that day with a brand new diagnosis and about three different medications. No assessment surveys or questionnaires, no measurement tools (diagnostic tools) no bloodwork, no thyroid check, no nutrition panel, no background and psychological history, no questions about current environment (work, relationship, or housing related)…. Just a li’l ten minute diagnosis that “proved” to my narcissistic mother & brother that I was indeed a loser. 😉 Fastfoward to today and I am working on, and very soon will be a licensed professional, who can assess, diagnose, and treat. But I have little faith in the industry now, I feel it is exploitive and just another way to commoditize and exploit people’s ailments, and capitalize on mental health needs.

A large number of Functional Medicine providers do not take insurance, so mostly wealthy people can afford them.

[@nehow-jg4vz]

It isn't that providers don't take insurance, it is that insurance companies don't cover functional medicine...there is no money in it for the insurance company if you heal yourself through food and/or supplements. It is a business for insurance companies to promote medical doctors who prescribe the drugs/meds.

[@believ100]

The functional med doctors charge an arm and a leg and really they don’t have all the answers and they are the smartest business people. They promote their own supplements at astronomical prices. So the poor sick people are stuck between a rock and a hard place!

[@dontatme7]

Another aspect I'd like to add is also that many patients will only seek the level/type of "care" that is authorized by their insurance, meaning that the power that high healthcare costs has in shaping the patient's choice of doctor is apparent... A patient may not opt for a route of care that could be better simply because of their insurance not approving it, and vice versa if their insurance approves a risky healthcare modality (such as chiropractic) it can coax the patient into accepting that level of care since their insurance approved to pay for it

[@PraveenSriram]

They also work with poorer patients by giving them payment plans and zero 0️⃣ percent interest financing

Doctors definitely don't know what they're doing anymore. Or, at least, they aren't taught what they need to be taught. Since January I've had issues with my stomach and intestines. Food will sit in my stomach for 12-24 hours, and I'll either throw up the undigested pieces or I'll feel the sphincter in my stomach release after several hours of bloating and discomfort and drain into my intestines. My bowel movements are almost all liquid or semi-liquid. I have lost so much weight I look like skin draped over a skeleton. I weigh less than I did in high school. I have no hunger, no desire to eat and eating most foods causes pain, discomfort or vomiting. I'm vomiting 1-5 times a day. Every doctor I've been to has pawned me off to someone else. "I don't know what's wrong with you" or "that's beyond my scope" or they will only listen partly to what you say and ignore the rest. Then you wait 1-4 months to see another specialist. It's weird because most of them don't want to do any testing now, when before it was that they wanted to do excessive testing. I am literally starving on less than 600 calories a day and no one feels any sort of urgency or concern. I feel like I live in weird alternative universe where doctors don't know anything and won't do anything. I do not trust them, especially ER doctors and nurses.

[@rachellenale]

I’m sorry you’re going through this.. I don’t trust them either. I almost had an unwanted pregnancy because my doctor prescribed me a migraine pill that interacts with birth control and makes it less effective. She prescribed the birth control too so there’s really no excuse for it. So I got a new doctor. My main thing is needing medication for my migraines. This new doctor had me doing all kinds of testing and imaging for my thyroid and had me worried sick. (The ultrasound was normal btw) She wanted me to see a specialist and tried to pick one out for me. I said no and I ended up seeing a specialist I wanted to see. Long story short, this endocrinologist told me I had nothing wrong with my thyroid and the reason for one of my thyroid levels to be elevated was because of the birth control pill that I’m taking.. this incompetent doctor also had me taking a supplement for no reason that also caused me to become very sick. You have to be careful with holistic doctors too.

Or people could just take responsibility for their own health via diet and exercise........

[@greenkitty82]

Absolutely. It's your body and noone knows how to care for it better then you. Trouble is we are conditioned to abdicate that power over to someone else.

[@sharons.4590]

Try exercising with congestive heart failure.....see how you feel!

[@sharons.4590]

Try exercising with CHF and see how you do!

I spent 20 years of my life as a paramedic in the🇬🇧. I have come to the conclusion that the food and health systems are definitely working together to make you ill, it’s an evil cabal that’s preying on peoples weaknesses. I’m 61 and eat a proper human diet, I’m off all meds and I have become as fit as I was in my 20s-30s. If you are thinking about getting fit and turning your life around then try carnivore, you can see what you’re eating. It’s absolutely amazing. Thank you for spreading the word of truth.

At age 64, I AM the CEO of my own well being and avoid conventional Dr's. I have a Naturopath who works with me. Thank you and I just ordered Casey's new book.

[@ferminromero2602]

Wow. What an interview! Kudos to both doctors for such an important discussion. Thank you!!!

[@alpha7ization]

Thanks Dr Means for your message. I can relate to the last part of your talk concerning our fears....Jesus says Come unto me all ye that labor and are heavy laden and I will give you rest. The world needs this rest more than ever before

[@doriennaraine3004]

I know too many people who are killed off by this terrible system

[@benascg-ll7sq]

The Means siblings appear to be a gift to humanity. Impressed by Casey mentionning a spiritual approach to health

[@RichardSnook]

Yep the sick care system is broken in the USA

[@1111poppy]

Because it is SICK.

[@josephkanyugi3799]

Yes, I agree. Health Care does not look for cures. It looks for medicine to keep you alive so that you keep buying the medicine at exponentially increasing doses. These are smart business people. They even train their salesmen called Doctors.

[@Jeanne-pg5qz]

The pharmaceutical companies fund the universities this they dictate what the professors teach the med. students are taught. My holistic physician taught my family this in 2000. He didn't take insurance either because he refused to have blue cross, etc. dictate what he could and could not do in his practice. The AMA was constantly harassing his hugely successful healing practice. He passed away and his son crumbled under the AMA harassment. He shut the practice down. Rest in peace Charles Mary MD❤

[@dianahuarneck5849]

I have been saying that for quite sometime now i so glsd that these two Doctors are saying the same...its a big chain of money😢 really awful with so many illnesses going on and on😡 thank you Dr Axe bless you.

[@overcomer5574]

The knowledge and wisdom Dr. Casey is equipped with is truly impressive! I can only imagine the time she has poured into obtaining the knowledge she has. Thank you Dr. Axe for hosting such an amazing guest! I truly felt educated on how to help my body heal and obtaining optimal health! This was a high quality, beneficial conversation and was worth investing my time in! 👏👏👏

[@mickieharrell2247]

Great video...much needed. Thanks Guys

[@targetguy777]

Same thing i have been saying with all the processed foods and sugar no wonder so many diabetes patients.

[@user-bw2cr9qo9b]

Thank you both.

[@ade4682]

Functional medicine is awesome, but most people can't afford it. But glad it's growing.

[@kevindecoteau3186]

Don't trust the system at all.

[@1111poppy]

The sickstem

[@karenbaucom2078]

I wish Casey would be our President. Can you imagine?!? Her clear understanding, thinking and explaining - and her respect and professionalism - would be life changing for us in America!!

[@allison471]

Her brother Calley is just as amazing 😊

[@karenbaucom2078]

Yes I agree!! I am amazed at their honesty and logical thought process - and how kind and humble they both are!

[@loriegosnell9355]

I get so sick of hearing about diabetes every time I try to look something up that doesn’t concern diabetes for me! People need to stop eating the dang sugar!

[@u.s.a.1957]

Stay away from doctors. Far far away. Yes The farther away the longer you will live!!!!!

[@andrewvanoort8539]

Immediately makes me think of the book Bad Therapy which was a phenomenal read with excellent points

[@ranakhader2816]

Wow this is so true and amazing!

[@sdcalifangel7405]

I never bothered getting annual exams. I suspected 20 yrs ago the healthcare system (corporate) is making friends/family sick, their children were diagnosed as autistic, and an increase in gays (compromised hormones).

[@mothertreasa]

What a helpful conversation, thank you both!

[@brendaspurlock5751]

Excellent episode and guest! Thank you!

[@user-mo2it7il4t]

Dr Axe you have convinced me. I was sick 11/8/23 until today 5/2/24 cough, kept getting worse every week. By Christmas I had pneumonia, sinus infection, ear infection, fluid behind both eardrums. In calling my PCP I got 4 appointments w my doctor’s PA. Every time I went the response was “well you need another antibiotic.”😢Last time I said “No” Instead Rx for steroids along with musinex and allegra. I said NO to that. I asked to be referred to Pulmonary. My dx Bronchiectasis. Now new meds, new approach. Next appt is with Integrative dr in my area. I am ready!!!

[@di4085]

I listened to a doctor who said that if you have a continous cough that it's usually sinus drainage from a sinus infection. You can get a neti pot and use salt water or try Seagate olive leaf nasal spray. And definitely get some pro-biotics.

[@lindabell6954]

Excellent conversation! This is the most important health information we need to think about. Thank you for this video.

[@christineweston5242]

I enjoyed that message so much! Thanks to you both!

[@pamelasingleton5178]

My 13 yo son has mitochondrial dysfunction according to his Nutreval blood test we did last August. It indicated he was very low in glutathione, so he has been taking a supplement since. His skin has improved, but it still flares up easily. He has asthma, allergies, food allergies & eczema that we have been trying to heal naturally for 4 years. Been working on healing the gut. He has done 2 tiny health gut tests and only has 52% beneficial bacteria in his gut. Could have improved more by now. He was breastfed 15 months, fed an organic diet from the start, & has always been a very active kid (loves soccer, basketball, cross country, & track). I truly believe all of the medical interventions at his “well checks” caused him to get worse and worse (we stopped those at age 6). He mostly eats pasture raised chicken, grassfed beef and pasture raised lamb, veggies & fruits (only berries, pears, apples). I wish helping him wouldn’t take so long, but I will do everything I can to get him healed.

[@amara1954]

Big money in cancer

[@vidaasamoah177]

This has been so insightful and so true. Thank you for an informative show.

[@Neo_Red_Pill]

Completely agree. As an aging person of 67 my goal is to stay away from the doctor and medications and looking for disease to eat a whole food plant based diet and exercise and keep socially and psychologically well.🙏

[@johnyork5138]

You got it. KEEP the masses SICK make big money.

[@peterly6890]

Great information, thanks Dr. Axe & Dr. Means!

[@Jose-jb8xo]

Thank you Dr. Axe 🌹🌹

[@HEARDIFFERENT]

TOTALLY.

[@vertigo2112]

The system mandated us to inject poison.

[@celiahoover4317]

Thank you for saying the truth

[@keysgirltye1]

Wow! What a great interview!! Love it.

[@roger236]

Dr. Casey is an enlightened being! 🧘‍♀️

[@johnbuffett5650]

I live in a small town. 15000 population. Stable. In the last 15 years we have gone from two small pharmacies that were never busy to now we have 6 busy pharmacies. They are all bigger than the original two. They are coming for us and they don't count on us being well. Also, no one has a doctor but everyone can get a prescription if they want one. Somewhere in a board room people you have never met are planning to get you addicted to their profitable product.

[@susanauger3758]

Doctors don't test patients vitamin D3 levels. FIRST PROBLEM

[@violelowndes7992]

Wow love this so great to know all this what your speaking about of metabolic health. Thanks for sharing ❤

[@debrasyracuse4974]

Great information. Thank you, Dr. Axe and Dr. Means!

[@faithlilis]

TYSM for this info

[@stephaniehuggins4185]

Love this liked and subscribed!

[@rossentownsend4936]

Your guest is more hemispherically balanced then most people in Western culture.Dr Casey has a way of presenting truth in a holistic form that is more on point then any influencers I've come across in the past 13 years. You can see in her face the reactions to the thoughts passing through her mind as her colleagues share thier wisdom. She applies gustalt principles and frames wholes that are greater than the sum of their parts. A real gem!

[@debbierice9082]

This is an amazing, eye-opening episode!!
