From Sick Care to Real Healthcare: Fixing a Broken System
from Shades of Jade Podcast · host Sam Wooldrik
In this episode, entrepreneur Peter Basica joins host Sam to expose the broken realities of America's "conglomerate care" system, where the same institutional investors profit from keeping patients sick rather than healthy, with zero incentive for true prevention or wellness. Drawing from decades of fixing broken systems, Peter shares shocking examples—like a successful pre-diabetes reversal study using CGMs and behavior change that insurers refused to cover—and explains how his company, 360 Smarter Care, is fighting back with micro-learning and micro-doing programs that deliver bite-sized education and action steps via text to permanently shift habits. The conversation dives into personal accountability, neuroplasticity, mental health tools for students through the Smarter Self program, innovative at-home diagnostic tech for rural and proactive care, and powerful initiatives supporting veterans with PTSD. Peter also shares inspiring personal stories of recovery through discipline and his driving motivation: creating a lasting legacy by actually changing healthcare. - Visit 360smartercare.com to learn more!- To view all my deals, visit: https://mydeals.page/7fu7 - Want to be a guest on Shades of Jade Podcast?
