Dr. Ben Weitz on Functional Medicine & The Future of Healthcare

Mike "C-Roc" sits down with Dr. Ben Weitz, a sports chiropractor and functional medicine practitioner based in Santa Monica, California. Dr. Weitz shares his mission to help patients heal by addressing the root causes of their health issues rather than just managing symptoms. He explains the key differences between conventional medicine, which focuses on symptom control through pharmaceuticals, and functional medicine, which aims to identify and treat underlying health imbalances. The conversation delves into the challenges of working within a healthcare system driven by profit and how functional medicine practitioners navigate the resistance from the pharmaceutical industry. Dr. Weitz also discusses his passion for longevity and biohacking, sharing insights into his own approach to optimizing health through diet, exercise, sleep, stress management, and targeted supplementation. He reveals that he recently took a biological aging test to assess his true age and reflects on how lifestyle interventions can slow down the aging process. This episode is packed with eye-opening perspectives on health, wellness, and the importance of questioning mainstream medical approaches to achieve true well-being.
