Conventional medicine is the mainstream approach to healthcare that relies primarily on pharmaceuticals and medical interventions to treat symptoms and diseases.

More on: Conventional medicine

The podcast episodes highlight various critiques and limitations of the conventional medical approach, which is often criticized for overlooking root causes, overrelying on drugs and procedures, and failing to provide personalized, holistic care.

For example, Episode 1026 of Relatable with Allie Beth Stuckey discusses the problems with conventional medicine, including its tendency to treat symptoms rather than underlying causes. The episode also explores the potential for natural and integrative approaches to healing, such as those advocated by Dr. Leigh Erin Connealy.

Similarly, Episode on Health Hacks with Mark Hyman, M.D. critiques the conventional medical approach for often overlooking the role of nutrition and taking a reactive stance rather than addressing root causes of disease, such as the impact of sugar consumption on health.
