    Do Doctors Really Want to Keep us Sick? The Truth Behind the Myth with Dr. Richard Harris MD, PharmD, MBA

    It's been a while since we released a podcast episode, but that changes today. 2025 will be a big year for The Wellness Transcription Podcast, and we have some incredible episodes in store. In this episode, Dr. Patrick Gurley, PharmD, MSCN, sits down with returning guest Dr. Richard Harris, MD, PharmD, MBA, to debunk the widespread social media myth that doctors and healthcare professionals aim to keep patients sick and dependent on medications for profit—all while ignoring America’s chronic disease epidemic.  Beyond tackling this dangerous narrative, Dr. Gurley and Dr. Harris expose common tactics used by “Big Wellness” grifters to erode trust in primary care and specialist physicians—just to sell their latest supplement or wellness protocol. They also take a deep dive into GLP-1 medications like Ozempic and Zepbound and their crucial role in combating obesity. Finally, Dr. Harris introduces his new Direct Primary Care model, which allows patients to pay a monthly or annual fee for extensive access to primary care services, offering significantly more time—if not unlimited time—with their physician.Trust me, you don’t want to miss this episode.
