Treat Diseases Before Symptoms Manifest
It’s one of those things I’ll never understand about our current medical landscape.
Insurance companies only pay doctors to treat diseases post-symptomatically.
Meaning after they arise.
Which is ridiculous, sort of like shutting the barn door after the cows have all wandered out and got lost.
Wouldn’t it be better if we could treat certain diseases proactively, meaning before they manifest symptoms?
Whenever I propose this, people ask, “Well, how can we know a disease will strike before it strikes?”
The answer is modern technology.
For instance, the model used to be that insurance companies only paid for people to get glucose monitoring devices after they’d been diagnosed by a physician as being diabetic.
Nowadays, new technologies allow anyone to monitor their glucose levels.
And that’s very important because I think what we eat today is a lot of sugar.
Too much sugar.
And this excess sugar is causing a lot of what we see today as chronic diseases running rampant in our population.
Imagine being able to treat patients for diabetes before the disease manifests itself.
Sounds exciting.
Well, believe it or not, that day has arrived.
My name is Dr. Richard Jacoby.
I’m a podiatrist and one of the foremost peripheral nerve surgeons in the world.
I’m also the author of the critically acclaimed book, “Sugar Crush.”
My book—indeed my entire life’s work—explores how sugar has taken over our diets.
Therefore, it’s time to cut sugar out of our diets immediately!
To help you do this, I’ve created a new online course called The Urban Carnivore.
You can find it on my website: drjacoby.academy.
I hope you’ll check it out.
Here’s to your longer, happier, healthier life.
