The U.S. healthcare system is failing millions of patients with diabetes and chronic disease. My guest, Dr. Arti Thangudu, an endocrinologist, disruptor, and patient advocate, saw it firsthand—and decided to do something radical.

After leaving one of the largest endocrine clinics in the country, Dr. Thangudu launched her own direct care practice, Complete Medicine, proving that real outcomes—lower A1Cs, fewer hospitalizations, and better lives—are possible when doctors put patients first.

In this powerful conversation, we cover:

✅ Why traditional healthcare is broken for patients with chronic disease

✅ How direct care endocrinology works (and why it’s a game-changer)

✅ The shortage of endocrinologists across the U.S.—and what that means for patients

✅ Dr. Thangudu’s inspiring journey from journalism student to physician entrepreneur

✅ The truth about hormone replacement therapy (HRT/MHT): why women were misled, what the science really shows, and how the right treatment can be life-changing

✅ How she’s rebuilding trust in medicine, one patient at a time

If you’ve ever wondered why our system feels so impersonal—and what can actually be done to fix it—this is an episode you won’t want to miss.
