Why is the new era of medicine life changing and life saving?

from Ask Why Medicine · host Gina, Witt, Patti, and Lora

In thinking about how we can take responsibility for our own health and not be dependent on others, Dr. Witt Wilkerson discusses the three eras of medicine. The first and second era of medicine is primarily focused on lifesaving medicines and procedures. This kind of care is necessary when you are sick; however, if there were guardrails in place throughout our healthcare system, we wouldn’t need some of these life saving medicines and procedures. These guardrails are an illustration for the practice of preventative healthcare, this new era of medicine. Why should we wait for you to get sick in order to care for you, when we can empower you to ask the right questions and live a life free of inflammatory diseases?There is so much conflicting information in the world regarding what is best for your health. We are here to help unravel the “why” and getting this new era of medicine to move forward. Dr. Wilkerson explains the important role lifestyle plays in your health, and how your future is not all about genetics. We can uncover asymptomatic risk factors and the importance of moving these conversations into the mainstream media. We invite you to ask “why?” and to join the movement.Social MediaInstagram: @askwhymedicineFacebook: @askwhymedicine
