1295. The Healthcare System Is Missing 80% of Your Health: What to Do About It + How AI Can Help w/ Dr. Nasim Afsar

Hey Heal Squad! Today's episode is for every single one of you who has ever called the doctor because something felt off…whether it was a new symptom, a nagging health concern, or you just needed answers…only to be told the next available appointment is weeks, or even months away. We've all been there, and it's beyond frustrating.That's why we're sitting down with Dr. Nasim Afsar, board-certified physician, former Chief Health Officer at Oracle, and author of the brand-new book Intelligent Health. In this conversation, she shares a statistic that completely stopped us in our tracks: only about 20% of your health is determined by what happens inside the doctor's office. The other 80% comes from your sleep, stress, food, environment, habits, and the everyday choices you make without even realizing it.Dr. Nasim explains what it really means to become the CEO of your own health, why the healthcare system isn't set up to see the full picture of who you are, and how AI could help us connect the dots in ways we've never been able to before.This episode will make you rethink everything you thought you knew about healthcare, and leave you feeling empowered to take a much bigger role in your own health journey. Like Maria always says, we truly have to be the CEO of our own health! Enjoy! HEALERS & HEAL LINERS You are the CEO of your health—don't hand over decisions you should be making yourself: Too many people assume the doctor, the hospital,or even AI will connect all the dots for them. But nobody knows your body and your history better than you do.  Only 20% of your health happens at the doctor. The other 80% is in your hands: The biggest drivers of your health are often the things happening every day: your sleep, stress, food, movement, environment, relationships, and habits.  Use AI to ask better questions—but never let it replace your judgment:Let AI help you become more informed, but remember: technology should support your decisions, not make them for you.
