😷Reimagining Health: A Call for Humanistic Rebel Leaders
👨⚕️ Insights from Dr. Zeev Neuwirth on Transforming Primary Care and Beyond
🍄 Welcome to Your Weekly Dose of The Microdose Diet Inspiration
Where health meets success! I’m Peggy Van de Plassche, and after two decades in finance and tech, I’ve redefined personal and professional growth through health and mental health optimization.
✨ Prevention, promotion, personalization, and natural solutions are my first lines of defense for staying healthy, happy—and yes, even wealthy. 😉
As individuals and companies, stronger health means greater success. As members of society, we have the power to shape a healthcare system that prioritizes prevention, promotes well-being, and embraces natural, personalized solutions.
This is the conversation we’re having on The Microdose Diet podcast: health as the foundation of success + the future of health.
Let’s explore the tools and strategies to help you thrive while shaping the future of wellness. 🚀
In this edition of The Microdose Diet, we dive deep into the mind of Dr. Zeev Neuwirth, a healthcare visionary with 40 years of experience in transforming the field. His provocative insights shed light on why our healthcare system is failing and, more importantly, how we can fix it. Below are key takeaways and actionable steps inspired by our engaging conversation.
⛓️💥The Problem: A Broken Healthcare Paradigm
Dr. Neuwirth emphasized a glaring issue: healthcare systems are designed to react to sickness rather than prevent it. He shared that:
Only 5% of healthcare spending in the U.S. goes to primary care, despite its proven benefits in reducing costs and improving health outcomes.
Chronic diseases, fueled by poor metabolic health, account for 85% of global healthcare costs.
Takeaway: Prevention is cheaper and more effective than reactive care, yet it's grossly underfunded.

💸 The Economics of Health: Follow the Money
A recurring theme in our conversation was this sobering truth: profit is prioritized over health. From pharmaceuticals to the food industry, every facet of our society seems designed to perpetuate unhealthiness.
Takeaway: Advocacy and policy reform are critical. We must incentivize preventive care and dismantle systems profiting from chronic illness.
💡The Solution: Reframing Primary Care
Dr. Neuwirth outlined what an ideal primary care system could look like:
Proactive prevention: Addressing nutrition, sleep, relationships, and mental health.
Team-based approach: Providing primary care providers with the same level of support as specialists like surgeons.
Community integration: Embedding primary care within communities to promote longer, healthier lives.
Action Step: Support local and innovative primary care models that prioritize holistic, preventive care.

🍬A Revolution in Metabolic Health
Metabolic health is at the root of many chronic illnesses, yet it's a topic largely neglected in medical training. Dr. Neuwirth highlighted:
The lies we've been fed about nutrition and health for decades.
The addictive and toxic nature of processed foods and sugars.
Action Step: Start small. Dr. Neuwirth’s personal story of giving up nightly M&Ms and losing 10 pounds serves as a reminder: micro changes can lead to macro results.
🔮The Future: Humanistic Rebel Leaders
Dr. Neuwirth introduced the concept of Humanistic Rebel Leaders—trailblazers who prioritize humanity in healthcare transformation. His network, HRL, is a hub for these leaders to collaborate and innovate.
Takeaway: True transformation requires courage, collaboration, and a commitment to putting people first.

💭Closing Thoughts

Here’s to reframing healthcare—and our lives.
