    Jul 8 2025

    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.

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
