Most people assume their doctor knows everything — but what your doctor doesn’t know could actually hurt you.

After 25 years in medicine and three board certifications, I’ve learned this simple truth: the more I learn, the more I realize I don’t know.

In this video, I share a few things I didn’t learn in medical school — like how something as simple as Vitamin D can be as protective against breast cancer recurrence as certain prescription drugs, and how forgotten therapies like methylene blue or low-dose naltrexone are helping patients today.

Medicine should always be evolving — and so should your doctor.

🔍 Watch now and ask yourself: Is your healthcare team still learning?

Most doctors mean well.

But the system they work in ... has blind spots — and patients fall through them every single day.

After 25 years in medicine (and three board certifications), I’ve learned that what your doctor doesn’t know can hurt you.

This week, I’m breaking down the 5 biggest blind spots in modern medicine — and how to protect yourself from each one:

1️⃣ The Illusion of Medical Infallibility
Believing the system is always right keeps too many patients silent.

2️⃣ The Education Gap
“The more I learn, the more I realize I just don’t know.” — a truth most physicians never admit.

3️⃣ The Gut
Modern medicine forgot that healing begins in the microbiome.

4️⃣ The Time Trap
Fifteen-minute office visits don’t leave room for real listening — or real healing.

5️⃣ The Science Trap
Science isn’t a belief system; it’s a process. Progress only happens when we keep asking better questions.

You don’t need a medical degree to see these blind spots — just curiosity, courage, and the willingness to ask “why?”
