The Dr. Hyman Show
Encore: Why Our Current Healthcare System Keeps Us Sick And How To Fix It

That's right. That's right. And that leads me to sort of the fifth point, which is we need, Dr. Hyman, more research. I mean, we have evidence-based right now, but we need more research into prevention. Now, the National Institutes on Health estimates that 19% of their budget every year goes to prevention. Now, one could ask, is that the right number or not? I don't know.

Now, there was another study that I recently saw that if you look at the National Cancer Institute, only 5% of their budget goes to prevention. So whatever the number is, I think that these are all sort of low.

Right, right, right. And so I would argue, and I argue in the book, that there ought to be a much more... focused research emphasis on prevention that looks at not just sort of the biology of illnesses, but also the importance of behavioral change, as well as policy, as well as other areas. And that will also actually help the Congressional Budget Office

Irrespective of what happens with the 10-year budget window, the more research, the more evidence there will help policymakers. So I think in all five of these areas, number one, leadership prioritizing prevention. Number two, healthcare professionals focusing on prevention, not just management.

They're all heavy lifts, Dr. Hyman, but I think that I wouldn't be writing a book if these weren't heavy lifts, but these are absolutely important for policymakers on both sides of the aisle to understand the importance of these.

We'll see this also as a way to support themselves as they try to make sort of the healthy choice. But the American public is clamoring for assistance.
