Description

This week on the Evolution of Medicine Podcast, we dive into primary prevention – and why it's the future of health.

Dr. Eric Topol recently published an article lamenting medicine's lack of progress in the big three killers: cardiovascular disease, cancer, and neurodegeneration. He's right about the problem, but I'd argue he's been going to the wrong conferences.

If he had joined us at the Personalized Lifestyle Medicine Institute (PLMI) conference, he would have seen what real prevention looks like: clinicians reversing chronic disease through root-cause, systems-based care. And if he comes next year, he'll see why I'm calling 2026 "The Year of the Brain."

In this episode, we explore:

  • What Topol gets right (and what he's missing)

  • How practitioners like you are proving primary prevention works

  • Why improving everyone's neurobiology, as Dr. Austin Perlmutter says, is our highest work
