We’re living through an epidemic of chronic disease, and the system that’s supposed to fix it is only making us sicker 👆🤯 Cancer in 1 out of 2. 60% of kids are already dealing with medical problems. 18% of the GDP is poured into “healthcare” that doesn’t create health at all. Dr. Leigh Erin Connealy, M.D., reminds us: the real job of a doctor is to teach patients how to get BETTER, something modern medicine has forgotten. Go to the Life of Flow podcast channel and watch the full episode #89.
If the system that’s supposed to heal you is feeding the disease… who do you trust? Patients all over the world say the same thing: their doctors don’t listen, don’t care, and have no answers. Dr. Leigh Erin Connealy, M.D. has seen it firsthand. From hospital trays that fuel illness to a medical education system that never teaches doctors how to heal. In this week’s episode, she exposes why modern medicine leaves patients sick, and what has to change NOW. Go to the Life of Flow podcast channel and watch the full episode #89.
Dr. Leigh Erin Connealy, M.D., built one of the largest integrative medical clinics in North America by questioning why conventional training left patients without answers. In this week's episode of the Life of Flow Podcast, she explains how her own health story shaped her path, why most doctors are never taught how to heal, and what she sees daily in patients who turn to her clinic after years of frustration. She shares why lab tests like vitamin D, CRP, and HbA1C should be routine, how insulin and nutrition drive chronic disease, and why 50% of healing is often determined by what a doctor tells the patient. Dr. Connealy also addresses post-COVID realities, from clotting and spike protein testing to the rise of “turbo cancers,” and why she believes the system keeps people sick instead of creating health. 🎧 If you’ve ever wondered why so many patients feel let down by conventional medicine, what doctors aren’t taught in medical school, or how words, labs, and lifestyle can change the course of disease, this episode is for you. 02:12 Early life and the impact of DES exposure during her mother’s pregnancy 10:28 Opening her first practice in Beverly Hills in the 1980s 13:30 Moving to Orange County and founding the Center for New Medicine 17:50 Why “standard of care” fails patients and how integrative care fills the gaps 22:09 The most common complaint patients have about doctors 26:54 The epidemic of chronic disease and the cost of healthcare in the U.S. 30:40 Lifestyle as medicine: exercise, sleep, hydration, nutrition, insulin balance 37:12 “Your words are like medicine”: how mindset and language impact healing 49:21 Rarely seeing heart attacks and new cancers in her patient population 55:40 Post-COVID observations: clotting, spike protein testing, and “turbo cancers” 💡 Who Should Listen Physicians and healthcare leaders curious about integrative models of care, patients who feel underserved by conventional medicine, and anyone interested in how lifestyle, lab testing, and mindset influence long-term health.
