Why Traditional Medicine May Be Failing You (And What to Do About It)

In this episode, we dive deep into the difference between reactive and proactive healthcare—why traditional medicine waits until you’re sick to intervene and how preventative care could change the game. Claire shares her personal story of discovering thickened carotid artery walls at just 25 years old—something she never would have caught without advanced testing. Ang weighs in with insights on how functional medicine takes a different approach.

We break down commonly overlooked health tests—like comprehensive thyroid panels, cortisol and adrenal function tests, advanced lipid screenings, and gut health assessments—explaining why they matter and what they can reveal about your long-term well-being. Plus, we discuss what most doctors don’t tell you about nutrition, stress, sleep, and movement, and why these are just as critical as any lab result.

If you’ve ever felt dismissed by a doctor or wondered what else you should be testing for, this episode is for you. Stick around for actionable tips on advocating for your health, finding the right practitioners, and investing in your long-term wellness before problems arise.
