About this listen

What if the solution to medicine’s biggest crisis isn’t more prescriptions—but more partnership?

In this bold, eye-opening episode, Dr. Shivani Gupta welcomes Dr. Sandra Scheinbaum, a revolutionary voice in functional medicine, to explore a radically different path forward: health coaching. With traditional doctors limited to rushed 7-minute visits and a projected shortage of 124,000 primary care physicians by 2030, patients are left confused, unheard, and unsupported. The truth? 90% of chronic diseases are lifestyle-driven, yet the system has no structure to address behavior change.

Enter health coaches—trusted, peer-based allies who help you implement what your doctor prescribes and finally achieve your health goals. Whether it’s weight loss, reversing diabetes, managing cognitive decline, or supporting aging parents, this episode is your wake-up call to a new model of care—one where you are the empowered CEO of your own health.

Key Highlights:

✅ The Healthcare Crisis Exposed: Why rushed doctor visits fail patients and fuel mental health burnout
✅ Science-Backed Coaching: How health coaches improve outcomes in diabetes, heart disease, and brain health
✅ The Peer Advantage: Why patients open up to coaches in ways they never do with doctors
✅ Cultural Competency: Coaches who honor lifestyle values (like vegetarianism or Ayurvedic eating)
✅ Insurance & Access: Medicare and private insurance reimbursement options you probably didn’t know existed
✅ Support for Aging Parents: How coaches can help you help your loved ones
✅ Mental Health Matters: A non-clinical, lifestyle-based way to ease anxiety and sadness when therapy waitlists are endless
