🎧 Podcast - Data-Driven Wellness: How Biohacking is Transforming Men's Approach to Health

Hey there,

The newest episode of The Health Insights Podcast is live!

Listen to the episode here.

In this episode, I chat with Dr. Sam Madeira, a functional neurologist and herbalist. We dive into his recent decision to close his clinical practice and transition into medical education at Diagnostic Solutions Laboratory. Dr. Madeira shares insights on the challenges of running a functional medicine practice, including staffing issues and the evolving healthcare landscape. He discusses his new role in educating practitioners about metabolic testing and how this shift allows him to potentially impact more patients indirectly.

We also explore the psychological aspects of why men often avoid seeking medical help until their careers or relationships are at stake. Dr. Madeira offers fascinating perspectives on masculinity, the need for safety and respect among men, and how the biohacking movement appeals to men's desire for control over their health. Additionally, we touch on women's healthcare experiences, highlighting the importance of empathy and safety in medical settings. Throughout the conversation, Dr. Madeira provides valuable insights into the functional medicine approach and the unique needs of both male and female patients.

Key takeaways:

• Journey of Starting a Clinic

• Stoic Philosophy and Self-Assessment

• Men’s Health and Biohacking

• Men’s Reluctance to Seek Medical Help

• Gender Differences in Health Needs

I hope you find this educational content valuable and can apply it in your business.
