Stop Waiting for Doctors to ‘Fix You’ (Medical School Confession) — Joel Fuhrman, MD / PODCAST #4

Most people believe doctors and medicine will fix their health problems—but what if that belief is actually holding you back? 🩺❌

In this powerful episode of the Plant-Based Support Podcast, lifestyle medicine physician Dr. Niki Davis sits down with renowned nutrition expert Dr. Joel Fuhrman to reveal the missing message the public isn’t getting about disease prevention, cancer risk, and true long-term health.

Dr. Fuhrman explains why conventional medicine often treats symptoms instead of root causes—and how nutrition, not drugs, determines outcomes. They explore why simply eating “plant-based” isn’t enough, the importance of nutrient density and precision nutrition, and how specific foods like mushrooms, cruciferous vegetables, seeds, and legumes actively protect against cancer and chronic disease.

This conversation challenges the idea that doctors can “fix” us and empowers you to take control of your health through evidence-based lifestyle changes.

If you care about preventing disease, optimizing nutrition, and living longer with vitality, this episode is a must-watch. 🌱💪
