ER Doctors - Medicine’s Biggest Problem | Ep. 172

Emergency room physicians Emilio and Marissa Benbassat break down why nutrition education is completely absent from medical school, how the standard American diet is quietly destroying your health, and why an animal-based approach might be the fastest path back to the energy, resilience, and vitality that modern medicine can't teach you. They expose the uncomfortable truth about hospitals, explain what prevents chronic disease better than any prescription, and reveal how taking ownership of your health is the ultimate rebellion against a broken system designed to keep you sick.
