    [#93] Healthcare Scaries: Big Mistakes To Avoid With U.S. Healthcare & Your Wellness Journey

    In this week's Rebel Wellness episode, I’m getting real about one of the biggest roadblocks I see people face on their health journeys: relying solely on traditional healthcare. Today, I'm examining the common mistakes I see people make when navigating their path to wellness through mainstream medical systems. I'll discuss the importance of building a diverse healthcare team, including not just traditional practitioners, but also functional medicine doctors, integrative specialists, and other complementary professionals who can provide a more holistic, root-cause approach to health. From the differences between upstream and downstream healthcare philosophies to the pros and cons of testing options and insurance limitations, this episode unpacks why you might need more than your primary care physician to optimize your well-being. I also share real-life examples from my own experience with clients, including the need for advocacy, self-investment, and the power of individualized care. Join me for an empowering conversation about taking control of your health, advocating for what your body needs, and finding practitioners who will support you in building a long-lasting, vibrant life. Let’s go beyond band-aid solutions and take your health seriously from every angle!
