Ep 1069 | The C-Section Scam & America’s OBGYN Problem | Guest: Dr. Marty Makary

On today's Wellness Wednesday, we’re joined by Dr. Marty Makary, surgeon, health care expert, and public policy researcher at Johns Hopkins University, to discuss his new book, “Blind Spots: When Medicine Gets It Wrong, and What It Means for Our Health.” We start off with an explanation of the medical system’s disgraceful track record with chronic illnesses and speculate why the rates of cancer and autism, among other diagnoses, seem to be increasing more than ever. Are medical institutions incentivized to keep us sick? How have doctors gotten the science wrong on peanut allergies, skin-to-skin contact, and umbilical cord clamping? Dr. Makary explains how antibiotics might be destroying your gut and why that’s a bigger deal than you think.  Get Dr. Makary's book here: https://a.co/d/1Mh2Lvb Get your tickets for Share the Arrows: https://www.sharethearrows.com/ Pre-order Allie's new book: https://a.co/d/4COtBxy --- Timecodes: (01:13) Introduction to Dr. Makary's work (03:36) Medicine’s terrible track record (07:50) Why are we seeing more chronic illnesses now?
