5 things western medicine cannot help you with

In this episode, Nurse Doza reveals 5 things Western medicine cannot help you with—critical areas where prescriptions and procedures fall short. From liver health to depression, this episode explores natural, functional approaches you need to understand to take charge of your health.

 

5 KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Fatty liver affects 1 in 4 people and is almost entirely ignored in traditional care.
  
  
• Thyroid dysfunction is commonly misdiagnosed due to outdated lab standards.
  
  
• Dementia has nutritional and lifestyle roots that are rarely addressed.
  
  
• Gut health is foundational—yet still not recognized by most physicians.
  
  
• Depression is often a nutrient deficiency, not just a chemical imbalance.
