Sick of the System? So Are We – Episode 1

Stream it Now

Welcome to the very first episode of Health Without the System. Dr. Tim Scott and Nurse Practitioner Mia Scott pull back the curtain on their careers in emergency medicine, their disillusionment with the traditional healthcare model, and the path that led them to functional medicine and the launch of Rixa Health.

In this episode, they talk candidly about the broken nature of our current system, how it prioritizes speed and prescriptions over root cause and real healing. You’ll hear why they believe so many diagnoses are missed, why “normal labs” often mean nothing, and why it’s time to shift from sick care to real care.

Whether you’re tired of feeling unheard by your provider, overwhelmed by contradictory health advice, or simply ready to understand your body on a deeper level, this is where your journey begins.

Plus, don’t miss their eye-opening segment on U.S. health statistics. It’s more shocking than you think. Please subscribe now wherever you get your podcasts.
