Did you know that 60% of adults suffer from at least one chronic disease, and 42% live with multiple conditions? These staggering numbers reveal the urgent need to rethink our approach to health. Join us as we explore how chronic illness is reshaping healthcare—and discover ways to take control of your health journey.

If you’ve been seeking answers to your chronic health challenges, this conversation with filmmaker Gabe Golden offers hope and insights. Gabe, the visionary behind Lighting the Path, shares his healing journey after battling autoimmune diseases and Lyme disease and discovering the transformative power of holistic approaches. His film sheds light on the root causes of inflammation and explores how true healing goes beyond just treating symptoms—it involves optimizing your entire body’s biology.

As we discuss Gabe’s experiences, we uncover vital lessons from his film, which provides a roadmap to achieving lasting health. Whether you're struggling with bone health or broader inflammatory conditions, Gabe’s story is a testament to the body’s incredible capacity to heal when given the right tools. Tune in to hear his inspiring journey and the practical steps you can take toward vibrant health!

“I think it's time you redefine what a doctor is. Many of us are doing that now and realizing that many regular MDs are just prescribing medicines—that's just all they do. You go to them, they say, here's the drug, come back and see me in six months to a year. That's not a doctor. A doctor is someone who's got a real passion for healing, and those are the kind of people we need to seek out.” - Gabe Golden
