#36 Why Medical Evidence Doesn't Change Practice - The Engine Light & Duct Tape

from Prevention is Cure · host PREKURE - Prof Grant Schofield

Modern medicine excels at treating sickness, but fails spectacularly at creating health. Even with compelling data proving treatments don't work (or cause harm), medicine often doubles down. Grant and Kayla explore why and unpack the disturbing reality behind common medical interventions: knee surgeries with infinity NNT (number needed to treat), back pain procedures causing more harm than good, and psychiatric medications that barely outperform placebos. Listen and learn why metabolism could hold the key to a different future.
