I sat down with Dr. Lucy McBride, Harvard and Johns Hopkins-trained internist and author of Beyond the Prescription, to talk about what modern medicine keeps getting wrong and what you can do about it.

What we explore:

- Why does the medical system treat patients as a bag of organs, not a whole person.

- How the wellness industry mirrors the same prescriptive failures it claims to fix.

- The three A's: awareness, acceptance, and agency, and why acceptance is the hardest.

- How your "biography behind the biology" gives context no lab test can capture.

- Why women are conditioned to tolerate suffering and how it blocks access to menopause care.
