Fight Chronic Disease

from Dr. Joe Galati Podcast

Today I’m joined by my colleague and friend, Dr. Chuma Egwim, a hepatologist with Liver Associates of Texas and at Houston Methodist Hospital. Dr. Egwim and I are talking practical strategies to be a better patient and a stronger self-advocate—how to take an active interest in your health and wellness so you’re not just an idle bystander. We’ll discuss why an annual physical with basic screening labs matters, what to do when abnormalities show up, and how to press for clear explanations rather than accepting vague “watch and wait” answers. Much chronic disease, especially liver disease, evolves over years or decades, and early warning signs can often be caught with careful history, exam, and testing. If you want to be a more informed consumer of healthcare and stay engaged in your wellbeing, this conversation is for you. Stay tuned.
