In this episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with Dr. Sam Madeira, a functional neurologist and herbalist, about his decision to close his practice and shift towards medical education. He shared that many healthcare practitioners, especially men, often avoid seeking help until their careers or relationships are in crisis. This reluctance can lead to serious health issues, as men tend to prioritize success and respect over their well-being.

Dr. Madeira emphasized the importance of understanding our health and the value of diagnostic tests in functional medicine. By educating practitioners on how to use these tests effectively, he believes they can help more patients achieve better health outcomes. This approach not only empowers patients but also encourages them to take control of their health, making it easier for them to seek help and improve their overall well-being.
