In this eye-opening episode of The Balanced Blood Sugar Podcast, Adrienne unpacks why so many doctors don’t—or can’t—teach patients about holistic health solutions. From the constraints of the healthcare system to outdated medical education, and the tough decisions doctors face between job security and stepping outside the lines, this episode sheds light on the deeper systemic issues at play. Adrienne also shares practical tips for how you can take charge of your own health while giving grace to doctors navigating a broken system.

Key Takeaways:

• Doctors are often restricted by hospital policies, insurance companies, and regulatory boards, which limit their ability to recommend nontraditional treatments.
• Medical education frequently lags behind the latest research, leaving doctors with outdated knowledge on nutrition and lifestyle interventions.
• Many doctors are victims of a system that prioritizes profits and policies over patient health, forcing them to make difficult choices about their careers and integrity.
• Functional medicine and direct primary care models are growing but often operate outside traditional insurance, making them less accessible to some patients.
• The importance of being your own health advocate—asking questions, doing research, and seeking providers who align with your values.
