Description

In this fascinating episode with Dr. Marty Makary, the author of the jaw-dropping book, Blind Spots: When Medicine Gets It Wrong, and What It Means for Our Health, you'll get to explore how outdated medical advice contributed to the rise of peanut allergies, and how rushed decisions by medical committees have shaped harmful medical guidelines in America. Dr. Makary reveals the overuse of antibiotics and its disruption of the microbiome, contributing to chronic conditions like obesity, asthma, and learning disabilities. You'll also discover the impact of C-section births on microbiome health, the controversy surrounding breast implant illness, and how modern newborn care practices like delayed cord clamping can promote long-term health. Additionally, we'll dive into the overmedicalization of routine procedures like tongue-tie surgeries, the need for NIH reforms to address neglected areas of health research, and much more! Dr. Marty Makary is the recipient of the 2020 Business Book of the Year Award for his most recent book, The Price We Pay, which has been described by Steve Forbes as “a must-read for every American.” His latest book, "Blind Spots," which we discuss on today's show, is an eye-opening look at scientific research on health topics that have been overlooked or dismissed because of medical groupthink. When modern medicine issues recommendations based on good scientific studies, it shines. Conversely, when modern medicine is interpreted through the harsh lens of opinion and edict, it can mold beliefs that harm patients and stunt research for decades. So, tune in as Dr. Makary explores the latest research on critical topics ranging from the microbiome to childbirth to nutrition and longevity and more, revealing the biggest blind spots of modern medicine and tackling the most urgent yet unsung issues in the U.S.'s $4.5 trillion health care ecosystem.
