In this explosive episode, insiders Drs. Tim and May Hindmarsh, hosts of the BS Free MD’s podcast, blow the whistle on a medical system they claim is fundamentally broken. From the death of independent practices to the insidious influence of Big Pharma, these veteran family physicians pull no punches. They expose how insurance companies manipulate care, why your doctor's recommendations might be driven by profit rather than health, and how "preventative medicine" could be making you sicker. The Hindmarshes argue that the Affordable Care Act, far from fixing healthcare, has made it worse - and more expensive. They reveal why nutrition is ignored in medical schools and how standardized screenings could be harming patients. But it's not all doom and gloom - our guests offer radical solutions to fix the system, challenging listeners to take control of their own health. Whether you're a patient, a healthcare provider, or just someone who cares about the future of medicine, this episode is a wake-up call you can't afford to miss.

Dr. McFillin analyzes the manipulation tactics employed by the pharmaceutical industry to alter our perceptions of depression and mental health. He breaks down the notorious Zoloft "blob" commercial from 2001, uncovering its powerful role in shaping public understanding of depression and how we treat it. Many of these psychological manipulation techniques are still in use today. Without awareness of these strategies, we risk falling prey to well-documented methods of mind control. The first step in this resistance isn't anger or action—it's awareness. Open your eyes. See the manipulation for what it is. Because once you can spot the strings of the puppet masters, you can begin to cut them.

Your mind is your own. Guard it fiercely.
