Doctor Mike and Dax talk about the dangers of hyper body optimization, the misinformation out there around healthcare, and how wealth affects a person’s access to their health needs. Doctor Mike explains how he feels about surgery as a solution, how necessary physical therapy is, and how important honesty is when speaking to your physician.
