Danese Rexroad, a nurse practitioner with Ways to Well, joins Matt King to challenge the way we think about medications, blood work, chronic illness, and taking ownership of our health. They talk about the problems Danese sees in the traditional healthcare system, why she believes patients should become the “CEO of their own health,” and her approach to looking beyond symptoms to understand the bigger picture.

Matt and Danese also get into insulin, Ozempic, sleep, stem cells, alternative treatments, patient advocacy, and how Ways to Well is trying to create a more personalized approach to health.
