Is AI the future of medicine, or just another distraction from what truly heals us?


In this episode of hol+, Dr. Taz MD pulls back the curtain on the healthcare system and why it's still failing so many people. With over two decades observing and practicing integrative and functional medicine, Dr. Taz shares her unfiltered take on the future of health and healing: what’s working, what’s broken, and what has to change if we want real wellness, not just symptom management.


From her own story of burnout as a physician to helping thousands of patients who’ve “tried everything,” Dr. Taz reveals why AI, lab tests, and protocols alone can’t fix the chronic illness crisis and why holistic medicine is the only path forward.


You’ll learn why we must rethink everything from how we train doctors to how we define evidence-based care. If you're overwhelmed by mixed messages in the wellness space, tired of being reduced to lab numbers, or just want clarity on what really works to heal the body, this episode will challenge, inspire, and reawaken your understanding of what medicine can and should be.


Dr. Taz unpacks:

• Why AI may be efficient, but not human and what that means for patient care

• The chronic illness statistics that should scare us (and what’s missing from the solution)

• What “holistic medicine” actually means and why it’s not just woo

• The real reason so many patients still feel lost, even in functional medicine

• Her vision for healing centers of the future and why your story matters just as much as your labs

• How to start rethinking your own wellness path today


If you’ve ever felt unseen in the healthcare system or sensed there must be more to healing than prescriptions and protocols, this is the episode you’ve been waiting for.


Topics Covered:

• Functional vs. Integrative vs. Holistic Medicine

• Why AI can’t replace real human care

• Chronic disease, burnout, and the cost of a broken system

• What evidence-based medicine really means

• The multi-dimensional nature of healing

• How to move from symptom-chasing to whole-person care

• Building a new model of medicine, together
