People have sacrificed their health in order for wealth,

and the government has actually been a big driver for that as well.

I mean, there are drugs that have killed over 100,000 people that were approved.

In fact, the third leading killer in America today, according to Johns Hopkins, is

iatrogenic disease, which means dying due to our own medical system. How do you know when

medicine is helping or hurting? Author and health expert, Dr. Josh Axe has committed his life to

helping people understand their bodies, tune into health warning signs, and reclaim their wellness.

What would you prescribe for me to do if I'm in a high-stress season of life or in a high-stress

job? Exercise can be important. Most people, I mean, if they just walked and ate healthy

and kept stress low, they don't even need to go to the gym. And here's something else I found

with most people. Well, that's one of the most tactical things I've heard.

Josh, the U.S. has the lowest life expectancy among large, wealthy countries, and yet we outspend

all of those countries in mass. Massive question, but what are your thoughts on why that data exists? What is happening?

Well, I think there's a few things here. One, I think we've taken our medical system that's

meant for emergency care and tried to apply that to health care. Oh, interesting. Yeah,

that's actually the single biggest problem. So think about it. If somebody is an emergency,

we want to do surgery. We may want to prescribe a

medication if somebody is an emergency. But we've taken lifestyle-based conditions like type 2 diabetes,

obesity, a lot of types of heart disease, high blood pressure, high cholesterol. All of those

things are 100% fixable, or let's say 99% fixable, with diet and lifestyle adjustments

in supplements. You know, you can take tumor instead of a statin drug. And often cases

and get better results, but all of these drugs have major side effects. And so that's one issue.
